I always enjoy a visit to my framer. Aside from her high-quality framing services, Rachel Isaac is a top-notch fine artist. It’s always a delight to see what she’s been working on in her studio gallery. Rachel’s collage work features botanicals including pressed flowers, leaves, bug wings, intricate paper cuts, and vintage photographs. https://www.instagram.com/rachelisaacart/

By the way, the Mill Artist Studios (Rachel’s location) in Manayunk will be welcoming visitors to their semi-annual Open House on April 12 from 11:00 to 5:00. 




1997. the cats’ meow


swishy wishes 
whisky whiskers seeing fishes
it’s the cats’ meow





“Yay! Yay! It’s Caturday!” — 15 x 18” — Origami

This is the latest in a series of posts featuring origami fishes (see posts 1979. and 1993.)  When I showed this composition to Dan he said, that would make a good flag! I thought about that and came up with a slogan—Yay! Yay! It’s Caturday! It’s been fun, but I might be done for a while with folding fishes. 




1995. purrfect!😸😽



mikey and willey

Dan has been busy at work making papier-mâché clay cats, creating a collection of life-size Quintessential Cats. Here’s a closeup of my Mikey Girl and Willey Boy.
