The Week in Review -

It's been a busy-busy post-less week. For a brief overview, I give you a lovely little, belated, sorta-art-related Music Monday ditty (thanks to dinahmow)(I do love me some cut paper!) -



I spent the last week painting a new version of my steampunk Oz piece for an alumni show at BYU -
(I was never quite happy with the version I did last year. I think this one turned out better. So here's my WIP post from last week....)

It was also my baby's 18th birthday...
Cakes and celebrating has gone on all week! Next up - high school graduation...

And in other news, the studio-chicks have gotten much too big for their studio box!! (noisy, smelly things!)

So, happily! they are now out in the chicken coop, albeit in a rabbit hutch within the coop (so that the ornery big chickens don't take them out like the last batch of babies). Ornery big-chicken is still trying to peck at them from below, but they will remain safely above until they are large enough to fend for themselves...

In the interim, their heat lamp is like a night light so that I can see them out in the coop from the studio window. Which is nice for me, for although I am really happy to have them *outside* and have easy access to the scanner again :-), I do miss their darling peeping and chatter keeping me company.

Baby steps....
