Farmer Kim and The Feathery Ladies Continues!

It has been a while since I last worked on my 18x24 inch fabric book titled, Farmer Kim and The Feathery Ladies. It will be 15 pages total and now I have 12 complete. I look forward to binding the pages together and presenting the book to the people. :)

Farm/Art DTour: A Weekend In Reedsburg With Friends


Bubble Pub created by Jenny Hale and Gail Katz-James

My friends, Jami, Aaron, Molly, Betsy, Robin and I visited Reedsburg, Wisconsin earlier this month to see Farm/Art Dtour-a 50 mile drive through Sauk County with temporary art installations, local food vendors, performances and more!


On the way to Reedsburg from Chicago! Betsy and Molly in my glasses. :)

Robin found this mushroom for me! Fungus!!!!!!


We visited Wormfarm and of course I was welcomed into the chickens home.


The Corner Pub. This picture expresses how good the day (and the beer) was.


We camped at Orange Cat Community Farm. Acorn squash at night!


In the morning a chicken got out and she liked being cuddled.


So we cuddled her.


Molly, Betsy and their corn. Waiting for the Amtrak home.


Passing through Milwaukee. A place I hope to visit next!

Portland, Oregon


-Gossip

I visited Portland, Oregon for 2 weeks. It was my first trip all on my own and it turned out to be more amazing than I had ever anticipated. I grew so much in 2 weeks.

I took Amtrak to Portland from Chicago because I hadn't been past Iowa and really wanted to see the landscape along the way. I was not disappointed!

Waiting in line at Voodoo Doughnuts. The bricks were painted with glitter...what a dream.

Summer 2014 Visit to Wormfarm


I visited Wormfarm for the first time since January with Jami, a friend and fellow artist-in-residence from last summer. It was a short visit but we got to say hello to Jay and Donna, and meet Lawton, a musician and current artist-in-residence, as well as this years Residency Manager, Loey, a flower essence therapist.


The Magical Barn-my home.


The swallow painting Pilar made last year. I thought it was fitting to photograph Pilar's favorite kitty, Jem under her work.


Dear Crookshanks.


I somehow forgot what a great friend he was to me last summer but he made sure I remembered.


Honey, lookin' a mess. I think she was molting.


Little Relly Belly (the black one) always looking so startled.


Dino.


Sunbathing!


This guy...Turkey the rooster was killed and eaten while this rooster remains...


We worked in the garden in the morning like old times.



Wormfarm from across the neighbors corn field.



Jami and Trouser.



Jami and I went foraging for black caps.


We visited Orange Cat Community Farm to see our friends, Laura, Katie and Little Anne (pictured above) and made delicious pizza with fresh ingredients from the farm!


Jami and I spent the night staring at the stars (and lighting sparklers with Lawton) and the day soaking up the sun (and meditating with Loey).


I am a Fartist. A farmer/artist. My friend, Nick gave me the title!



In the garden where we got our hands dirty every day last summer.


I was sent home with these beauties! I have only had one dozen eggs since I left Wormfarm last October. I don't see the point of eating eggs if they don't taste like these.


But not really...
