I just listed this little mixed media print on Etsy
“The Land of the Small Horses”
Much inspired by my recent purchases of two very quaint vintage pincushions that are very much welcome in my studio. I just felt like snipping little tidbits from my fabric stash and sewing on crisp paper.
A very busy weekend! Last night we went out to Brooklyn to see Mahogany play in a loft space which was a good time. My sweet friend Ana is in the band and the tunes are oh-so-dreamy… you must check them out especially if you like the Cocteau Twins.

Before the show walked around town, browsed in a cozy bookstore called bookstore Spoonbill and Sugartown (which had a wonderful selection of art books) and then ate yummy Mexican food.
Speaking of sewing, the faerie festival is this weekend and I am trekking out to PA tomorrow with a few friends. As of yesterday was still at a loss for what to wear and then an idea occurred to me. Last week I bought a lovely old audubon bird book. I decided to make big bird patches from the books illustrations and handsew them to a dress with colorful embroidery thread I’m going to wear my patchwork tights, boots and tangle my hair all up with egg-filled birds nests. A crazy looking bird-lady I will be. I will post pictures of the whole event very soon.
Have a sunny weekend all!
