“Be faithful in small things because it is in them, that your strength lies.”

Mrs S. A. Roach, Confectionery of All Kinds
I Thought This A Hoot!
I had carried with me a small volume of selected essays and poems of Emerson to kill time while waiting on the Doctor recently. The book was published in 1926 and so I presume this tiny clipping found within from a Newark, Delaware newspaper may be nearly as old. What I found striking was the obviously unfortunate juxtaposition between name and service rendered.
Of course there is no need to fear, if that puts you off a bit, you can always go to the shop in the ad above Mrs. Roach’s, where not only do they serve ice cream, but “temperance drinks” as well. It’s a good life!
Blessings of your choosing, David

~Long Face
~Long Face
Long Face is a plaster and wire fantasy mask measuring 20″ tall by 10″ at it’s widest. He was one of my first full sized masks and actually hung in the gable of my past Florida home for several years. Due to the layering of plaster and acrylic he seems to weather well. We recently mounted him in a recycled cedar fence board frame on a richly textured fabric. The overall piece measures 19″ wide by 29-1/4″ tall.

~KarenDragonMasque~
My Dragon and I collaborated on this head appliance designed with her alone in mind. I think she created an amazing paint finish with the perfect touch of accessories.

This guy just never stops smiling! ~Glad Cow~ is a 24″ tall wall hanging, and stands as testament to the durability of our pieces. This fellow has spent a total of 5 years hanging around outdoors and has weathered little.

~Dragon in a Box~
~ A Slice of KarenDragon ~
This piece is an actual “life” mask of Karen. The process of sitting for the mask is less than one half hour of the subjects time. The rest happens in studio. The results are quite realistic and provide a lasting keepsake.
Trust me… you’d never get this Dragon in a box!
