jonathan thought that making a coffee cup out of bronze was a much better idea than a cassette tape. i disagreed, but made him a coffee cup anyway and surprised him for christmas.
this is a starbucks cup cast in bronze. it weighs around 15 pounds.

a gift for jonathan.
he recently attended a performance (if you will) by michigan-based pastor, rob bell called “drops like stars”. at the end of the night, they passed out bars of soap encouraging individuals to essentially create a work of art with the soap.
so for christmas, i carved jonathan a tiny olive branch out of the soap he received, loaded with christian symbolism. the scroll beside it explains some of the connotations often sited with the branch.
as promised….here are my newest linoleum cuts. the one with the brown beard turned out a little….eh…..i am partial to the solid blue simply because of its cleaner lines.
once i get my registration lined up again for a print that i have already started…{eh-hem….after a little dilemma in the print shop}, i will have more prints hot off the press!
LOOK what i got!

happy valentines day!
as my my husband usually sits in the evenings and reads, i try to take some time to draw after the girls have gone off to bed. One particular evening he was reading the brothers karamazov (for the second time), by dostoyevsky.
I asked him to tell me the last line that he read in hopes of some sort of inspiration. So he read: “how can you talk of joy…coughing as though you would tear yourself to pieces.”
For some reason, that i cant remember why, i drew a depressed-looking, weak man with his shirt torn to shreads…
my husband was up nearly all night working on a new design for my links page. its worth looking at! he is the heart and soul behind my glorious website…{thanks}
jonathan got me these two notepads from boygirlparty for my birthday. i couldnt be happier.
