A little peek at the faded storybook I have been cutting up all these years. I stuff the book with snippets of pretty handmade papers from India to keep my place. Some pages of this book were even sttiched into the dress of a lady in a quilty wallhanging I created two summers ago. Sewn …

Something original for sale
Now up in my shop I love this one. Its on a chunky canvas, so the birch trees and the ground wrap around. All the pictures of Under the Cold Cold Earth… Oh, what a beautiful day! And I have some other pretty things to share too. Very soon, very soon!
Just because…
I love to sketch and many strange things become of it… Her hair is to be made of feathers. (a teeny part of one of my whole-page doodles) And I’ve decided to sell the original painting of Under the Cold Cold Ground in my Etsy shop sometime on Saturday. Please check back soon as I’ll …
Under the Cold Cold Earth
Just a tiny painting to hold me over as I paint away on a larger piece. Under the Cold Cold Earth will soon be available as a mini print in my shop- 3″ by 5″, I think. I love silvery birch trees, especially in the winter. This piece is painted on my favorite sheet of …
Lovely Sunday, Etsy Finds

Going out of the house requires a warm and wooley knit scarf. And to make my neck even more fanciful I don this sweet sweet …

I started this painting over a year and a half ago and I finally can call it complete. It’s changed and morphed over its lifespan and for me is very special (it’s going to be hung in my studio). It’s a ghost garden of sorts, and the woman and the wolf just might be from …

Welcome November!
The days are starting to be quite chilly! The leaves are blowing off the trees, leaving October behind. I have been in a slight state of hiding… Things to occupy the time ♥ handwriting dreams, inspirations and art ideas in my sketchbook ♥ eating lots of peppermints ♥ playing in my art journals with fragments …
Of spooky nights and hayrides at twilight
Photos taken by moonlight. I was some sort of a doll on Sunday night, I think. I do love this time of the year more than any other. Its a real bummer that Halloween is on a Wednesday night this year. So why not get dressed up early? As silly as they may seem I …
