Northdixie Designs: Light A Candle
http://www.northdixiedesigns.com/2015/06/light-candle.html
This past couple of weeks I watched Ken Burns "The Roosevelts". What a great series! Seeing the footage of World War I, the Depression and World War II gave me a greater appreciation for the challenges that my family members lived through. It gave me a greater appreciation for the opportunities which came out of adversity, and the character that resulted. And the work! Saturday, June 13, 2015. Saturday, June 13, 2015. I watched this wonderful series too and learned a great deal. Sunday, June 21, 2015.

Northdixie Designs: It's Tomato Season Again!
http://www.northdixiedesigns.com/2008/07/its-tomato-season-again.html
It's Tomato Season Again! I just listed this painting on Ebay. I really enjoy making these Tomato People. Each one has his own personality. My son told me this guy looks like a News Commentator. And in a way, I guess, he looks like he could host AC360. My husband says he looks like he's Second in Command. Maybe. I just think of him as a business farmer checking some fields. An amended image to brighten the picture. Thursday, July 03, 2008. Sunday, July 06, 2008. I must go see these! Monday, July 07, 2008.

Northdixie Designs: Works in Progress, Summer 2015
http://www.northdixiedesigns.com/2015/07/works-in-progress-summer-2015.html
Works in Progress, Summer 2015. Here is a creation I've been working at a while. I put my chubby fingers in there to give a sense of scale. I do like making these small dolls, but they present challenges because of the scale. It is very easy to sand too much and lose an expression. For this reason I plan to sculpt a larger doll, which I haven't done in quite a while. I found a twist tie on my desk. Why do I have that? Saturday, July 18, 2015. Sunday, July 19, 2015.
