paper house assemblages



I finished up the tiny paper house assemblages for Silvia to take with her to Italy. I am so pleased that she asked me to put these together as gifts for her mom and sister. I hope they like them! I added two sets of houses to my etsy shop. Fingers crossed that someone out there will fall in love with them, too.


I am anxious to begin printing the new set of images over the next few days and have some super fresh work to share with my peeps. These scenes should be fairly modern and tell an urban tale. We'll see!!

2 things


1. Mavis sunning near the sunflowers. She has not chewed on them yet.



2. Cute packaging! If you have a gift need--let me know and I'll include a hand crafted gift tag on your order with your special message. Your present will arrive with gifty style! This one is destined for Nashville--one friend welcoming another home using my screen prints as featured in my Etsy shop.

The Next Big Thing


This pile of stuff will soon be transformed into a 4 layer screen print. We are moving the exposure unit from Thilde's studio into our house tomorrow--I am beside myself with anticipation. It promises to be a very productive situation.

the last hurrah


Here's a pic of the whole gang down at Nizza La Bella, helping me seal the deal on turning 40. It was the last of the b-day stuff and it was totally fun! I lost count of the number of bubbly bottles consumed but it out paced the plates of fries and aioli by a lot. I have the nicest circle of friends. Miss Libby even made a cake! I may or may not have kissed the bartender--"what happens at Nizza, stays at Nizza!"

The Top of the Hill



Well, here I sit at the top of the hill. Not quite over the hill but certainly headed that way! Mike threw a great little party on Friday night and the celebration lasted 'til 3 am. Oh lordy-- forty year olds are not made of such tough stuff. Luckily, none of the neighbors complained but I'm sure they were silently seething at the loud music and shouts of victory from the roulette table. Having a b-day on the 4th of July is such a treat!

Today will be all about the art and I am hoping to have some new stuff to post tomorrow.

tiny berries


Char picked out these baby blueberries at the market and they as sweet as they are gorgeous. The little bowl is about 1 1/2" wide-- I usually use it to hold just a bit of salt on the table-- so you can imagine how teensy these berries are--yum!

Also, art flash!!! There are several new prints up in my Etsy shop. The colors are nice and bright and really pop off the paper. Fingers crossed for a few bites!
