At the Barney House

This weekend in the studio I decided to make a garland for fall. I've been spray painting small plastic toys all summer. Everybody needs a hobby. Now the challenge is finding ways to use them. I dare say, this is just the beginning.

For two of our favorite Mormon missionaries, Dan embroidered messages on their white shirt tails. This one is for Elder Boswell in Tennessee. It's from a Bob Dylan song that he quoted at his missionary farewell.

You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
