Flower power ring. In an earlier post, I think I mentioned that I made rings with flowers as well as with the felt and wooden hearts. I found a pack of paper flowers at the craft shop, and I sewed them on with needle and thread – just like I did with the heart rings….
conversation Love Rocks!
Love rocks! Just in time for Valentine’s day. These conversation Love Rocks! have a heart on the front and a witty (or just plain sweet) message stamped on the back. Make your hearts skinny or bubbly or teeny tiny or really big – each rock ends up with its own little personality. I used both…

A pile of little wooden hearts with a fresh coat of paint. Chick is partial to the wooden button heart ring. Mouse loves the soft, wool felt ring. This…
mer-sisters
Who knew that JoAnn’s Fabric sells mermaid skin fabric? I sure didn’t. I went in looking for some sort of green iridescent fabric for cutting individual scales, and came out with fabric that has all of the individual scales painted on. It even feels kind of wet and rubbery just like real mermaid tails probably…

a shell
Has it really been two weeks since my last post? Sheesh. I’ve been so busy putting on swim suits, taking off swim suits, making sandwiches and cutting up fruit, that I’ve been left with little time to do anything else. Except drawing and painting the mundane, which I have been doing in excess. Here is…
regular old things
I’ve been thinking about storiesand paintingand simplicityand color. I left the Squam Workshops inspired to challenge my artistic self and to be less inhibited, which has led to much thinking and writing and a few diagrams. All of these thoughts and notes keep taking me back to the same thing that led me to make…
[[ oh, s q u a m ]]
This place with its never ending lake of still, dark water, with its warm breakfasts and musky, old pine smell with its sweet little cottages and porches meant for contemplation with morning ice delivery , soft wooded paths, thick moss patches, and draping ferns. This place is beautiful and magical, and was filled with moments…
