We visited the American Museum of Natural History for the first time ( a great way to spend a rainy day, thanks for the tip Barbs!). The dioramas were amazing, I particularly loved the Alaska brown bear above - wow! Look at that heart shaped face.
Last spring when we were in New York a project was underway building a city park with a difference, a park built on a disused elevated train line, called the High Line We returned this week to find it open - it's great, full of local grasses and plants with loads of sympathetically designed seating with an incredible viewing deck overlooking one of the main streets running through the Meat Packing District.
BARBARABEARO Is the name given to my creative projects which at the moment usually involve denim or corduroy or both! Barbarabearo is one of the nick names of my daughter Barbara , it seemed so natural to use the name when I started making denim bears for her and her sister Maria, so barbarabearobears was born, shortened to Barbarabearo - thanks Babs!!
I now have a new shop now, both our girls have left home and I am approaching my fifth decade so I thought I'd create a new shop to put my handmade things into, not just bears but whatever I turn my hands to. It's called Lorna Ryan and you can access it by clicking on the denim square above x
