Check out this happy new Nancy Tote in my shop. I’ve since retired this image, so this bag is, and forever will be a one-of-a-kind.

New in My Shop
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Featured on Bloesem!
Monday, May 26th, 2008
This weekend we were at Dad’s, so I’ll have some new VT photos to share soon. Abbey pointed out that I was included in Bloesem’s The Weekly Gallery by way of Poppytalk Handmade yesterday. Thanks to Irene of Bloesem and thanks, Abbey!
In the Studio
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
I’ve been garlanding together some fabric circles. This morning they looked particularly beautiful hanging against a cotton tea towel with the light breaking into the studio. The shadows the garland casts are so lovely, it might be hard to remove them from their current, effortless drape on the wire hanger. I’ll be sure to assemble them into a work that casts lovely shadows in other spaces besides my own.
Scan of the Day
Saturday, May 17th, 2008
My plan is to post a series of scans, likely not to be daily. Occasionally is enough. This first one is of two objects from my inspiration board. It turned out to be a sunny day, so I thought some yellow was in order. Need more yellow in your life? Check out this great vintage flour canister over at How Now Design’s Etsy shop…
or this fun onesie in my Etsy shop.
Fresh at The Market
Monday, May 12th, 2008
Check out my table at Poppytalk Handmade’s newest market: Paper Pops! A papergoods and affordable art market & showcase. To celebrate, I’ve listed new mixed-media original works of art in my shop. Fresh and tasty!
The Envelope Please…
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
Sure, it’s the thought that counts, but do you really want to say “Congratulations” or “Happy Anniversary” with something you had to grab at the gas station on your way to the party? Between wedding season all the graduations, first communions, and the slew of anniversaries and birthdays coming up, you’re going to need a collection of cards at the ready. Hurry over to my shop to pick up one of my brand new sets of 3 screen-printed blank cards- they even come with coordinating envelopes and matching gift tags.

Mixed Media
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Because I love all kinds of materials and processes and because one can never have too many projects on their desk, (gasp!) I’ve decided it’s time to follow through with some of the fine art-ish ideas swirling in the ‘ol noggin. I’m excited and ready for input, so I thought now is a good time to share. This installation will be at the Worcester Art Museum during Massachusetts Art All-State in at the end of the month.
I’ve been playing around with crinoline, a stiff, sheer fabric that folds and tears like paper. That’s the material you’re seeing in white (above) and in red (below)
in a mixed media- print/collage/drawing that will soon be in my shop.
and this stuff on my desk is what I’m working with next.
