my new geometric notecards! i have to say that these were a blast to make. i watercolored directly onto the cards to make a one of a kind gift.

Happy Monday!

5 x 5

Here are my two contributions to the Arts Center of the Ozarks annual 5 x 5 inch canvas fundraiser. Area artists are given a canvas (or sometimes 2!) to do with as they please and then return for an auction to raise money for the non-profit organization.

i like to read.

{with my new Nikon D3100}

i think we’d both agree that fall is our favorite time of the year.

artsprojekt

I recently joined artsprojekt so that i could add my artwork and designs to products. above is only a tad of the work i’ve done-i hope you like them as much as i do.

two photos from the beach. i didnt take as many photos as i would have liked while on my recent trip to texas, but these were simple and beautiful to me. so, here i share.

{OH deer}

a new etching with a coffee stained deer and thread. i like this direction.

blue people faced birds

another invitation! one of my favorites so far.

sewing on coffee stains {again}

i made this over the summer in search of finding something to do. i think it turned out nice.

my chest

{a play on words}

the age of analysis

a handmade book given to abby and suzanne upon their move to England. they are missed.

delicate etched doily

this doily has a story. but i’m not sure if you’ll ever know it. regardless, its not important. but isnt it super cute and tiny?

{dont feel left out. no one really knows the story but me.}

{we see the colors}

one of my newest etchings. i am quite fond of this piece because of the time and energy that it took to make it. I colored the children’s clothing with chine colle paper….5 pieces to be exact and then editioned it to 10! I have been holding out on showing this until the right moment….which i guess is now? hm

Let’s Stay Together

a recent linoleum cut. a play on relation{ships}.

pressed frenchly

here is a drawing I completed several months ago. thanks to my husband introducing me to this about 5 years ago, I now appreciate and prefer the delicious taste of french press coffee.

OH, and if you haven’t noticed. I now have a “shop” tab here on my webpage.

colorado annual

we began our trip with a hike...

stayed in the sunshine...

swam in the stream...

made surprising discoveries....

explored abandoned mines....

took time to watercolor....

made plenty of camp fires near the cabin....

watched the wind blow....

checked out the area's public library...

discovered new species of plants....

roasted marshmallows......

and had our fair share of naps.

Illustration Friday: artificial

for some reason a plastic water bottle seemed fitting for this weeks topic {artificial}. I’ve always thought that there was something ironic about purchasing water in a bottle…especially ones that say things such as “pure”, “natural”, “spring water”…and so forth. what are your thoughts?

photograms

I recently fell in love with photograms and the capability to create delicate lines and features with shadows. Here is one of my favorites. Available for purchase at my new ETSY shop!

subtle

a new collagraph series i recently completed. after these were printed (and dried), i watercolored onto them and sewed onto a few.

{one of these is on its way to the UK right now!}

before the table

ive had this grand idea brewing for some time now about how to apply my own contemporary spin on the Lord’s Supper. so….what you see here is my solution on progress. i have 12 porcelain chairs and one bronze that will be installed together on a very small narrow table. you’ll see….

amor

here are 6 of my recent press-mold porcelain doilies I’ve been so determined to make happen. with many mishaps involving cracks and shattering…I finally developed a technique that lets me put these beauties on the wall.
