Made these interesting characters in class(’cept for the wizard dude in the back-he’s been lurking on my shelves for quite a while), as demos for my students.

Only a couple classes left.. It’s sure been fun.

The new Mountaineers climbing wall at Magnusson is extremely cool.

So extremely cool, in fact that it utterly defeated Sam and I.

Oh wells, we had fun goggling at it and chasing the resident crow away from our leftovers until he wickedly spilled both of our sodas in vengeance.. Then I took him(Sam, not the mettlesome corvid) to the Brig(where I teach clay class) and showed him the cool whale sculpture and the pea patch and we ate lots of raspberries and then went on a gelato procuring mission, starting with the kidnapping of BB so that she could come eat gelato and go walkies at Greenlake.

More wall, whale and walkies pics here.

Sam drew these bizarre characters on a gigantic sheet of paper.

(clicketty click to embiggen)

It was so big we had to slice it in half to scan it in.

MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Cherie sent me some pics she took at the Sensual Repast.

I flickr’d ‘em along with the original set.

Enjoy!

My Jane O’Lantern for the Babes in Toyland window this year. These amorous kitties won third place.

Meow.

I love these crisp, delicious Autumn days and nights… The fog burning off to let the sun caress the glowing scarlet and gold embers of the deciduous trees and the blustering winds tossing the leaves about every which way. The punkins and squashes and soups. The harvest moon and the convocations of crows.

Kim asked me to do a bodypainting performance for the Little Red Studio’s Sensual Repast and Rita agreed to come be my canvas, so I covered her in leaves and crows rejoicing in the copper moon.

More leaves blowing about her back..

Yum. Then we got to feast on Kim’s delicious Repast. Scrumptious punkin soup, phat crab cakes and meltingly luscious lamb legs.. I had to run home after the main course to hang with my kiddo, so I missed the Erotic Haunted House and dessert, but it was a lovely evening, nonetheless.

Mmmm…

Flickr’d set here.

Oh, wait a minute, it is!

I painted this hot little number on the exquisite Miss Rita at the last Little Red Studio Gold Show. It was so totally hot-even if it did take a bazillion hours to create all the lace on the stockings.

See all the purty lacey pictures here.

It’d been way too long since I saw this man:

It was so nice to reconnect with him. Thank you, Yoni. It’s been a wonderful week of feasting, meditating, partying, gutting punkins, giggling with Sam, beachin’, talkin’, walkin’.. All the goodest, bestest things in life.

I made a flotsam maiden at the beach while he chi gonged, too.

See more pics here.

Aside from the stoopid chicken pox episode, it’s been a fabulous few weeks. My dear friend Yoni flew in from Ireland-well, he’s been living in England mostly lately, but did a sweet sojourn in the isle of Guinness-to visit.

Yay! Sure missed ‘im. It was so good to catch up on everything and see his cool pics of Avalon. Ooooooh.

I had to postpone my Knotty Lingerie party due to Sam’s itchypoxybadness, so instead, Ms Rowan came over and we hung out and laptopped and laughed our butts off. Then, sunday, we had a passel of friends over for pumpkin madness!

Yoni made punkin soup, Rita brought punkin cookies, Ben made punkin pie and we all scooped the guts out of a buncha punkins and made loverly lanterns.

Flickr’d pics here.

is ablaze with brilliant dahlias right now.

Sam, Delayne and I had a great time romping about there, snapping photos of the lovely fleurs, making strange, hollow music in the tower, lounging on the wierd dinosaur vertabrae-like sculpture in the playground, napping in trees…

..or on camels..

I absolutely adore this picture. Straight out of a story book, ’tis.

We had so much fun. See?
