Projects at the park

I am off to the park with the girls to meet with a group of "relaxed" homeschoolers (which basically means the majority of us either a.) don't follow a specific curriculum and/or b.) are unwilling to sign the statement of faith which the larger, primary homeschool group around here requires. I won't give my zip code to the gal behind the Toys R Us counter, much less put my name on somebody else's credo. A little too personal. And hypocritical.

I spent the early part of my morning cutting little motifs out of this campy fabric I found the other day, featuring these circus burlesque paper doll clothes. And I have all these photos of those cows which I took on my sister-in-law's ranch. They are just calling out to me. I have already done a painting of the ones I loved the best, but somehow these bovine ladies need to get on some fabric. Seeds of an idea...

Thanks for your nice comments on my blog. I don't know if you found my website, but if you're interested, it's www.valerieshew.com, just for fun. I just sent off most of those dolls and beaded creatures to Art Doll Quarterly, something new for me to do, put my art out there in the world. I haven't heard back yet, but here's hoping. Your relaxed homeschool group sounds great. I love any group of mommies that can get together and talk about something other than their children or housework. Doesn't happen much with the mommies that I meet. I'll be bookmarking your blog and checking it often, and as soon as I get my digital camera working again I have some great spring pics to add and blog about.
