Well my friends,
I'm sorry it took me so long to jump back into my blog but the CARDBOARD COBBLER's been BUSY ! BUSY! BUSY!!!
I'll try to keep on top o' things from now on. Promise!! To catch up... My studio opening Feb. 10th at 18th Street Arts Center was very fun and very well attended. Since then kraft paper & cardboard have been flyin' thru the air!! In a few weeks I'll be sharing some of my newest creations in "WELCOME HOME" A group show at Arena 1, Santa Monica Airport. Opening is Sat. March 31 @ 5pm? Will update more info as I get it. End of May I'll be hosting a workshop at The Santa Monica Museum of Art, making cardboard and paper wallets in conjunction with "Identity Theft" The upcoming feminist art show show featuring Eleanor Antin among others. This is a family workshop so when I get the details I'll post 'em so everyone can come. In November CRAFT MAGAZINE will have a "how to" contribution by The Cardboard Cobbler and also a feature article!!! Then in December... A Cardboard Cobbler show at Cue Gallery in New York curated by Ann Magnuson! So you see, I Have been Busy and have kept craftin along. Here's the Bathrobe I finished yesterday.
