The Market

My home away from home. On the weekends anyway... I'm there 10-6 on Sat/Sun/Mon. It's fun and a great group of Artists to hang out with rain or shine. Come if you can we will be there until mid- Sept. I have even been busy Batiking on my days off. Iv'e had a few special orders and I'm working on a batch of baby stuff for a wholesale account with the "Maternity Boutique" at the hospital in Anchorage, in fact I have batiking to do. Gotta go...

Moo-Gon

Moose on Parade is a local fundraiser held on the 4th of July here in Downtown Talkeetna. The moose, made by locals, will be in the parade and then auctioned off in the Village Park. Ours was a group effort by the open air market artisans. He is a Dragon/Moose  named "Moo-Gon". Also, that is my booth there behind him... Below is the description that is posted with it.

My mother is a moose and my father is a
dragon.Being born in Alaska makes it very
useful to be half dragon, I can always start
a fire on cold winter days. In the summer
       I can eat my very favorite food,
FIREWEED FLOWERS! The only problem
         is they make me burp FIRE...

just art...

This is an untitled nature collage of mine, done with mixed media items including: Dried Fall Leaves, Tissue Paper, Twine & Fabric on Wood.

Circus Parade

Hawk and I did the Friday parade with with Jaxon and the circus kids. Here we are from "inside" the parade walking down Main St. in Talkeetna. Pretty normal day for our crazy little town... :0)

Circus Monkey Jax

This was the "Animal Trapeeze" act. They each acted like an animal and hopped up on the trapeeze for a few seconds while everyone clapped and cheered for each of them, Jax was a monkey, which is pretty fitting I must say. It was a packed house for 4 performances last week at our community arts hangar. He did great, they all did...

Hawken Sunning Himself

A little snack break today during Jaxon's Green Light Circus camp. Hawken was soaking up some sun here. This area outside the Arts Hangar is also home to the Open Air Market where I have a booth, but only on weekends (Sat-Mon.). We just got home from the 1st circus performance, Jax did awesome and there are 3 shows to go this weekend as well as 2 parades... More photos to come!
