Here are some progress pictures of 'Medicine Bear'. I added a bit of texture in the form of ric rac and lace - possibly handmade (not totally sure). A friend of mine gave me a bag of some very old clothing and for a long time I have resisted cutting into it. In the end I have cut the lace from the skirt and will leave the little top in tact.

The lace was stretchy and I managed to weave it into the branches of the tree. I love the texure. I left it in tact in the girl's dress and I have put it in the landscape among the hills.

Ive had to cancel the Young Designers Market today due to the rain. Sorry for any inconvenience to those planning to visit my stall. Instead I will be at home working on a lot of odds and ends.

I'm itching to paint but have too many other things to do at the moment. Im hoping March will free up and it will flow more. Ive been doodling away in my sketch book and some of these images will definately grow into paintings. Playing with different ideas - a medicine bear, sleeping beauty, a magic carpet ride, a circus and some sort of shaman.

As well Im working on commissions and will have a couple posted up next week. This weekend I will be at the Young Designers Market in Brisbane on the Sunday - fingers crossed the rain stays away,,, :)!
