Hello everyone!

I hope everyone had a very festive and happy 4th of July! I personally took some time out to go camping and take in the fresh air, as well as a very emotional and dedicated tribute to our vets that have served and are serving. The fireworks mixed with music and messages from our troops and political leaders was very touching. I know that I am so very thankful, as well as sad, for our troops that serve and allow us the freedoms we enjoy. It makes me very sad to think of all the loss of life that happens in our world everyday, but when it occurs as an aimed act of violence, it particularly makes me very weary.

OK! As promised...please meet Plunky Pinkerton! My latest character development in my series of the moment. She is a very mischievious little girl, that enjoys sweets and yo-yo tricks. She is not very pretty, but her personality and sense of humor make up for that!

I have one more character that I am working on (a mad scientist!)...and then I am going to turn my attention to set building and props! I think this will be just as much fun! I have also been making a list of character requests! For those of you that have e-mailed me...what fun! By the way...Pedro now has a new hat! I figured out how to make him his own little sombreo!

I have very much enjoyed everyone's comments, but have also really enjoyed watching people interact with the characters. It is fun to see how they begin to associate little plot lines and stories about them as they hold them and take them all in. I love how people begin to project their imaginations into the character. So if nothing else, I feel I have succeeded in making people laugh, and live a little bit of thier imagination through the characters. So much fun!

Remember - the characters will be on display in my studio as I get them done. So if you would like to see them up-close and personal and release a little of your own imagination...please consider coming to the next 2nd Friday event which will be July 11th! I will soon be sending out a reminder e-mail, so if you would like to sign-up to receive those reminders, if you haven't already, you can do so on the opt-in form on this blog page located in the right hand column!

Until next we meet or speak - Rock on!
