Alacrity Art

Lately I’ve been obsessed with the idea of creating my own handbags, totebags, purses – whatever you want to call them. Here’s one I finished last weekend.

We get our share of dogs and cats, but last week we had an unusual visitor at City Hall. I guess zookeepers have to pay their water bills, too, and this one brought a five-week-old lemur!

My latest trade project is for the Yahoo group Art4Mail. Flat dolls are just what they sound like: they’re flat – like paper dolls – except these are made of fabric. I used faux suede for the eyes, noses, ears, and stripes.

Here’s a closer look at one of the Kitty Kat Flat Dolls I just finished.
