Makin' Art

During the slow dark days of January I am trying to get some art out on the shelves. I would much rather be doing my own art but duty calls. I have been thinking lately about why, Oh why, I have a store in the first place. I love my clients, customers and friends that pop in but really? I would just like to have a studio to create and do no other retail. I am so tempted to sell it all out and find a warehouse to set up at. Hmmmm, sounds so good to me. BUT, until then, I am working on some fun painted glass and a torso that I want to depict a fun look at Motherhood.

My brother had a motorcycle apparel shop in Florida that he closed and had these plastic torsos that had some crazy nipples going on. Whew, it took lots of paper to cover them but I notice here they still show! I have a full torso and another plastic one that I think I will do something more serious with. I will have to figure out how to display this one. OK, back to work, I have plastic cake totes, glass cake domes and some other funky stuff to get done.
