As you may have figured, I’ve been absent again here. Been a busy time here in my world. I’ve been updating my CV and other works for another opportunity and I have works in the Erie Art Museum (beaded face mask); Burchfield Art and Nature Center (Photography – She Realizes); the Springville Center for the Arts (various baskets/beadwork) and had made a donation to the Rochester Contemporary Art Center for their 6x6x2023 campaign!

I’ve had a few trips and a few demonstrations and still they keep coming…lol. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it! So, I’m trying to keep doing the art and this gets by the way side. So, if you get a chance to follow me on instagram put my handle in penelope.minner and you will see the immediate updates.

Otherwise, I’m going to keep on keeping on and hope this website doesn’t fail on me and vice versa. I try. Got to get back to the other works chore. But I will be at the Canadea Field Days on July 1 in Houghton, NY doing a demonstration and at the Seneca Joe Curry Pow Wow under the Seneca Iroquois National Museum Cultural Tent doing a demo as well. Here’s a little cutie I made at Shenandoah Creates! loved my time there.

Busy summer ahead. Got to get to it. Enjoy!

Photography and artwork was done by my self. The doll is made of corn husk, yarn and calico fabric, wool and size 13 seed beads. I was doing my interpretation of the story that was mentioned in last post.

She looks into the water to see she no longer has a face. The children ask how can she eat? How can she see? All good questions. We don’t like to say she is punished but she was negligent in her duties and tasks before her. She has consequences for her actions or lack there of. I always say she has them but she can no longer see them.

No one is above you or below you. We are all equal. This goes to treating people with the same considerations and dignity in which you would like to be treated. Be respectful and mindful . And don’t forget your tasks at hand. Be humble and kind.
