Rain & Thunderstorms for this area tomorrow and Sunday. As much as it disappoints me, I'm going to be a no show this weekend.

Flowers May 2011

As you may have already guessed, my garden & nature are inspiration for my art :)

My sister makes some awesome jewelry

I sent my sister a link for a "vintage" bracelet on Etsy, I thought it was neat. She asked if I wanted one. Of course I said yes, and voila! Beautiful stuff - I'm very impressed.

Sketchbook Project is in the mail

Got my sketchbook in the mail yesterday (on deadline day). Soon it will be touring the country with thousands & thousands of other Sketchbooks. It's exciting to be a part of something so big, but at the same time feeling like a tiny fish in a big pond - better than hiding under a rock, right?
I scanned it and posted it for your viewing curiosity. Eventually they will digitize it and be a permanent part of the collection at the Brooklyn Art Library.

Here a  Link to my scanned version

Holiday Catchup

Been busy this holiday season, so I fell behind. Christmas craft fairs, Thanksgiving travel, pet portrait commissions have been keeping me busy. Sadly I also had a family member pass away from a heart attack, plus my husband fell and broke his leg. Never a dull moment (I wonder what those feel like) I had closed my online Etsy shop for Christmas, but I'm now I'm back open for business.
So hopefully my little blog will be updated on a more regular basis.
Merry Christmas Everybody!

Here comes Trouble! Sketchbook Project

Worked on some sketchbook pages today. Trouble is a very photogenic cat, so I'll probably be using her in a lot of pages  :)
