Today is for photography. It's cold-ish outside, but the light is good and the Poppets are behaving, mostly. Well, except for one excit...

Today was a 13-hour day in the studio. In my head it's this mosaic of pictures, starting with me there alone with my coffee and Gorecki,...

I took a walk at four. When I set out, it was day. When I returned, it was night. But all my steps seemed planted firmly in the in-between, ...

We've been busy indeed, in the studio, with blustery winds all around us. We're taking orders now for the blushing Pink "Poppet...

Fortune's Teller is finally leaving us tomorrow. We have scads of photos from along the way. And stories. Remember the sign on the studi...

Whoosh! Where did the week go? My plan to quietly reorganize the studio and work on books for January jumped track when we had to make room ...

Today Orion is home from school with a croopy cough. Yes, it is winter in the desert. I'm finishing up the Play with Toys packing. H...

Ravyn sent me this Reindeer-costumed Foppet. Cinnamon Poppet makes a near-perfect playmate, so I paired the two to wrap up the holiday sale...

I received Foppets from Ravyn to join "Play With Toys." We have a big pony--and perfectly, slightly, ghostly -- for the Little Pin...

Today the voice of sanity spoke up and told your artist it's time to rest. This piece, called "Poppet Tricks" will wrap thing...

Saturday morning. Play With Toys is officially open! I'm happy to introduce "Whirligig I", the latest Bent/Lisa collaboration...

Play With Toys doesn't officially begin until tomorrow, but I've already begun to put auctions up if you want an early look. Today...
