Cat Tails is one of my favorite creations. I love a play on words and the possibilities they present. The skirt has three usages of the word Cat Tails......the cat has a tail.....cat tails grow in marshy areas.....and there is a cat reading a tale about a cat. The calico cat on the left is reading a pop up book called Puss in Boots. Visible and very obvious hand stitches are a common theme in my fabric figures. There is no mistaking the touch of the artists hand upon the art work. I also love to add a playful touch to my work. The gray and white kitty is trying to play with the dangling little fabric do-dad in the dolls hand.

I have my calendar marked for next year at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts for the NIADA Conference near Gatinburg TN. It should be fun.

What an amazing event in Kansas City at the NIADA 2019 conference. It was particularly memorable for me because after 6 years of hard work, I was voted in as a member of The National Institute of American Doll Artists. My sister and my nephew were able to attend the Gallery night event to see me among my spectacular colleagues. Thank you to all who helped me achieve this long time goal.
