Just finished a big research project, worked on this during my off time to stay sane. Thread painting/hand embroidery on denim.

My wrist hurts, I'm tired and I better relearn the art business because it appears I've lost a good deal of science funding. Finished this tonight, too tired to soak off the stick n stitch paper but that can wait until tomorrow.

I'll probably finish my jacket just in time for summer in the drought choked desert and just as my science research career implodes under this idiot fascist oligarchy....cartoon demons are about the only thing keeping me sane

My George, my joy

When she was new.....

With all my research and school and funding in jeopardy I'm finding solace and voice falling back into creative endeavors.
...a past doll work of mine "Bloody Mary", now dubbed Luna, resides at the NMSU where they made this video on Halloween

I am an old, very tired, currently very overwhelmed medical/public health researcher. A few things that bring me joy still are fabric arts and irreverent animated demons. So this is my current #wip, it's a jacket I will wear to conferences, I need to make joy wherever I can.

My joy, my little Georgie

My nightly reminder that I have skills outside of the insanity that is STEM in the the U.S. right now. I'm working on new embroidery projects but this is my favorite to date, a thread painted, ribbon embroidery cloak I made and my little imp wore to Abney Park in London.

George is my joy. He was born to a feral mother in a dirty shed late on July 4th. I fully believe all the fireworks were fanfare for his arrival.

Another of my dolls from long ago...my favorite ghost...La Llorona, photographed at La Llorona Park on the bank of the Rio Grande.
I've almost convinced myself i should start making dolls again.

Trying to remind myself of all the joyful things I create, instead of dwelling on the absolute avalanche of crap that my medical research/public health work is experiencing right now.
Free hand, single strand needle painting embroidery.....

My sweet sibling babies, George and Béla.

Another of my long ago creations. When I go through the pictures of my dolls I remember how much joy I felt making them. Now, in medical research/public health, I'm sad all the time. It may be worth finding my way to dolls again.

Before I decided that middle age was the best time to go back to school and become a very tired reaearch scientist I was a cool and edgy doll artist.
Sometimes I miss these little guys with all my heart.

Quote from my favorite TV show but also....yeah

I like all the cats here. I have a bunch of cats. This is one of them, his name is George, he is absolutely perfect in every way.
