That is a record for me. The Javalina above was one of the last of that series.

It will be in a show at Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, CA. The show is called: "Happiness for all the artists." The reception is on June 29th, 5pm-8pm. 355 24th Street, Oakland.<br /><br /> The sheep is made of wool, epoxy based clay, wire and plastic. She stands about 26" high and 24" long. I plan to make a series of these sheep. Four more are in the works. I am calling them my "Forest Sheep".Tara Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11146324669909955473noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538621.post-81325285713164735372006-01-20T10:43:00.000-08:002007-04-12T10:52:55.810-07:00Press for "Fabulandia: Fauna"<a href="http://www.juxtapoz.com/jux/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=160&Itemid=62" target="_blank">Juxtapoz</a><br /><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=3&entry_id=2590" target="_blank">SFGate Culture Blog</a><br /><a href="http://www.artbusiness.com/1open/011306.html" target="_blank">Art Business</a>Tara Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11146324669909955473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538621.post-1147581632511590712006-01-13T21:32:00.000-08:002007-04-12T10:36:53.705-07:00Fabulandia:Fauna at the LAB Gallery in San Francisco 2006<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5178/2234/1600/IMG_5227.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5178/2234/400/IMG_5227.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5178/2234/1600/IMG_5178.0.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5178/2234/400/IMG_5178.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5178/2234/1600/IMG_5188.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5178/2234/400/IMG_5188.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Tara Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11146324669909955473noreply@blogger.com0
