Penguin Kisses

Summer isn't complete without a visit to the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth Port. We picked a cloudy day to forgo the beach for Gorey and followed it up with some antiquing and seafood stops. His back yard contained a cat grave yard, plus a hand painted whale and penguin sculpture.

Afterwards, while hunting at a flea market we came across an antique boston terrier door stop which was oh so fun to take on the plane back home... "Ma'am, is there a large metal dog in your bag?" He did eventually survive the trip (after some sweet talking with airport officials) and is now holding the door to our guest room. On a side note, we've named him Edward.

Move Your Feet!

 

 I did a program for the Contemporary Art Center inspired by Keith Haring's dancing figures. Preschoolers struck some fantastic dance poses while we did a quick trace. After they finished painting their figures we painted our feet and busted a move on a giant tarp! The kids loved the squishy paint between their toes and I loved watching them break it down to my one of a kind dance mix.

 This little guy wanted to have his figure jumping in the air!

Glitter, Mariah Carey Style

We've got a group of girls who love some good old fashion glitz and sparkle. So... I pulled out everything pink, feathered, shiny and fabulous which usually makes me want to puke. The result? A collection of diva puppets which turned out cute but a tad scandalous (the one on the left is Aretha Franklin in a bikini).
