"For Demeter: Life is Sweet" in Art Doll Quarterly Spring 2012 Issue

 I am pleased to share that Art Doll Quarterly has included my "For Demeter: Life is Sweet" http://juliebranch.blogspot.com/2010/09/for-demeter-life-is-sweet.html in the Feb/March 2012 issue.   Thank you to Vincent Giordano of Trinacria Photography for taking the great photos of her!

Trout Dreams in "Reflection" exhibit at Valley Artisans Market

This piece was inspired by my very active dream life. Around her neck hangs a felted pouch and in it is a small leather book which contains the dream interpretation for "three trout." The garment is rya weaving of dupioni silk, organza, yarn and batiked cotton. Her headpiece is felted wool. The trout are papercaly with spots of gilded gold.
"Trout Dreams" is currently on display in the juried exhibit "Reflection" at Valley Artisans Market in Cambridge, NY. The show runs through February 25th.

"First Snow" in Art Doll Quarterly 2012

I am delighted that my piece "First Snow" http://juliebranch.blogspot.com/2010/10/first-snow.html is included in the Winter 2012 issue of Art Doll Quarterly. I think that Art Doll Quarterly is the only publication in the United States that focuses exclusively on art dolls which makes it a real treasure. It just so happens that it's release coincides with our first snowfall of the season which we had just a few days ago.
