Linda Kelen Spoons in Dubuque Museum of Art Exhibit

AHA!
I got the Dubuque Museum of Art to LOAD!

Take a field trip to Dubuque!

Go to the Dubuque Museum of Art 

and see my spoons in person!

I didn't know Dubuque was so cool.

They've even got an Aquarium!

June 27th until October 11th.
HERE's a LIVE LINK to a VIRTUAL TOUR!!!!!

The Sardine Box ALMOST got into the exhibit
but the rules for social distancing demanded more space,
so the "Sardine Box" and the "Sardine Tins"
were eliminated.

I just sold the Sardine Box and a tree drawing

Two Postcards on ETSY

Pounding Metal eliminates stress

What's in my head, comes out my hands....

I believe that.

This became a Talisman for a friend 

who works right behind front lines in a Madison hospital.

It hangs perfectly.

When the wearer begins to move about, it begins to look left and right,

sort of watching out, 

as a good Talisman should, protecting it's charge.

(It's now referred to as a Talisman Action Figure)

I thought perhaps I had more worried heads in me.  No.

Red Herrings! 

Red Herrings are good.

They are not stinky fish to avoid,

but kindly ushers showing the Curious paths never considered.
