New Tea Cup

Did you ever go to an Argo Tea Shop? They are all over NYC. I love their cups. This is my version of their small hot cup.

Today's Work - Little Betty Jane collages

I made some collograph prints of Little Betty Jane. I used my baby press that I got for my last birthday.

They are all about 5 inches square. The last one is circular.

In this piece, Little Betty Jane will be trying on all the fantasy cards that were in my last exhibition. She also does cartwheels, dances, and ....
