Happy St. Patricks Day!

Here's a little seasonal fun!  The warm weather is starting to settle in here and the promise of Spring is coming true!  Enjoy your St. Paddy's Day!  

Work in Progress: from humble beginnings

I do love the challenge of creating things from non traditional materials! Here, I’m using a cardboard box to create a coyote mask armature. Nothing more humble than using trash to create art!

In the sketchbook!

Warming up my coyote drawing skills! The next step will be creating an armature for papier-mâché based on the sketch. I need a coyote mask!

It's Taco Tuesday!

Time for an update! 

Weird footage.

I often get asked to film myself playing with my nipples. I don't really take requests, however it's easy enough to do and I figure that no one here would be offended.  So I gave it a try and the result was the lamest most boring footage that I've ever made. I wasn't even going to release it...

A weekend dance!

It has been another unexpectedly difficult week. However there is nothing like dancing your problems away!  I am looking forward to a productive and creative week ahead. 

Taco Tuesday Update!

Good news! I've resolved the issue I was having with uploading videos! Hope you're having a great week!

Raspberry Dance!

I can't believe that I didn't post this one!  Thank you all for you patience and support as my posts have been a bit chaotic and sporadic lately.  I'm so grateful to you all for sticking around.  Summer is just around the corner and I've got some exciting new projects planned. &nbs...

Today’s progress!

I’ve finally gotten the hardware in place for hanging the biggest painting I’ve ever done! I’m so happy to share that “Forgiveness” is installed in my yoga room!

Chinese Magnolias

Flowers! The prettiest tree in my backyard is blooming, and I really wanted to share it with you! 

A moment of poetry.

I'm enjoying my new book of poetry, and I hope that you do too! 

Taco Tuesday Update!

Technology is a wonderful thing! Especially when it works! Unfortunately, it’s not working for me today. I filmed a little update for today, but somehow between a new phone and an update on my computer, things are not communicating properly. Oh well, the point is that i hope you’re having a f...

Work in Progress

I made a mask today! I'll use paper clay to make a casting as soon as this part is dry!

No wasted time

When I was a bit stuck waiting in a hotel room.  I tried to at least have some fun by filming myself dancing.  Now we can all enjoy it!  

Magic dance!

Spring is upon us!  The chill of winter is beginning to subside and the warm winds are blowing softly across the land. There are buds on the trees, and I'm dreaming of warm sunny days.  Time for some magic!  

Dancing!

Illegal outfit revisited

Here's another look at my latest sewing project.  This time in a more natural color.   Enjoy! 

On the easel

I switched it up a bit today! I worked with watercolor while I streamed on YouTube. I wasn’t working from a photo, just a scene I could picture in my mind.

Time for an illegal outfit!

I'm still not sure how to use this one, but I'm sure that I'll think of something. 

Taco Tuesday Update

Today's update is on a more serious note in regard to what has been going on with me. I'm looking forward to a brighter future, and I'm so grateful that you're all here supporting me! Thank you all so much!

Illegal outfit

I wanted to take this illegal outfit out for an inaugural walk, but unfortunately it didn't work out at all like I had planned.  The sun was shining, but it was very cold so I had to wear a coat.  Then there is the problem of the disgusting color of my nipples.  I thought that It w...

Work in progress. (sort of)

It has been a while since I've had to share a failure.  This is one of them.  The garment that I've been working on turned out great!  However, I decided that it would be a good idea to dye my nipples a dark color to make them look more like the center of some flowers for the big u...

Classic or Rerun?

I've put a new spin on an older video from a warmer time. 

Work in Progress

I completed a bit of embroidery work on the flower bra today! Almost done!

Work in progress.

I've got the petals finished and stitched on. Now it's on to the details!

Psychedelic Dance Fun!

Like Billy Idol, I've got nothing to lose and nothing to prove, I'm dancing with my se elf woo ooh oo.              Okay, It's a lame joke, but a fun video! Enjoy! 

Illegal Clothing!

This corset was the inspiration for a couple of my paintings!

Work in Progress

Petals are cut out of the red felt and being sewn into place!

Illegal Clothing

Work in Progress

I had a new idea for another modified bra! The last one was the “slinky” bra. This one is in the early phases, but the red felt in the background will be cut into flower petal shapes then formed and attached to the bra. This has the potential to be a true multi media piece!
