Window Displays and EHAG giveaway

Before I became a full time artist, I was a “Visual Merchandiser” for major Mall developers. I quit my merchandising job in 1998 and started sculpting full time.
I have been helping out a friend with decorating some OLD vintage Display windows in Downtown Saint Joseph, Missouri. Here are some photos of the windows. I really enjoyed getting to working in the windows, but they sure don’t have wonderful windows like them anymore!
Because of my new puppy Elvira (The destroyer) I cannot decorate my house for Halloween so decorating the windows filled my void!
Happy Halloween to ALL!

My Puppy Elvira had OCD

My Poor little puppy Elvira (7 months old and 55#)had surgery on her shoulder yesterday! She is so very sore and cries a lot, BUT we do have her on pain meds. I thought she just had growing pains, but after the vet visit and x-rays she was diagnosed with OCD:

What is osteochondrosis (OCD)?
Osteochondrosis (also known as OCD) is a common, painful disease in dogs. It is characterized by an abnormality in the cartilage-to-bone transformation. As a result, cartilage and bone fragments may break off into the joint space. Osteochondrosis is not a form of arthritis, however, it often leads to arthritis. Larger breeds of dog have a genetic predisposition towards the condition, which results from rapid growth. (The pain from osteochondrosis is similar to the “growing pains” experienced by adolescents.)



Here is a photo of my little Franken-elvira!!

A wonderful Day with a Wonderful friend!

Feeling like Christmas!

I spent the day with my good friend Diane Houlk, the founder of The Puppetry Arts Institute. We visited a very cool shop named “With a French Accent” in the historic Corbin Mill. The shop was WONDERFUL!! The merchandising is outstanding!! I took a photo of Diane by the Santa display and also a wonderful French puppet theater from Loyon, France that the PAI hopes to add to our collection.
Enjoy the photos!
