New work.

With the exception of one commission, I have been preparing new pieces to put into print production and send down to The Green Door in Apalachicola, FL. Here are two pieces out of six I am currently working on for artist Amy Friedman.

Colorful Christmas.

This is a nice break from the expected dichromatic green and red Christmas scheme. I wouldn't expect anything less from Black and Spiro. Easily one of my favorites. I frequently shop here... in my dreams of course.

The table! The wreath! The pillows!

Pretty much the best Christmas tree. Ever.

The installment piece was created by Australian artist Sue-Ching Lascelles.

Dream room...

If I was able to create a new room for Hayden...

I stumbled across Holly's blog Life in the Fun Lane today while on House of Turqouise. She renovates old and outdated furniture to create one of a kind eclectic pieces. She has a new business called Whiteberry. Serious talent!

Charmaine Olivia

I am completely smitten. 

Check her work out at her etsy shop.

How I love...

Windy crisp days.

Warm spiced apple cider.

Leaves dancing about.

Sweaters, scarves, and mittens.

The pumpkin patch on a cloudy day.

Here is a bit from last weekend's great adventure.

Peggy Wolf

 I love Peggy Wolf's new work! Check her out here.

Fall!

J.Crew's fall line... gets me every time.

PUPPETS!

I absolutely adored our childhood theatrical renditions of fables and fairytales played out by our ever so talented dolls and stuffed animals. Katy. Haley. You know what I'm talking about. Just imagine the fun we could (that's right. present tense.) have with these little jewels! These are made by Hong Kong based artist Furze Chan and can be purchased though her etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/furzechan. She even makes a wallaby!

Goodbye summer.

Betsy Walton

This is an incredibly small sampling of Portland, Oregon artist Betsy Walton's work. Sweet stars of Liza... I'm utterly smitten. I purposely didn't include my favorite piece. It just so happens to be for sale. I'm hoping...

PULP miscellania

I was fortunate enough to stumble across this curious shop (PULPmiscellania)on etsy. Check them out! Browsing their assortment of found bones brought back memories of scavenging through our woods as a child. I especially loved searching underneath our great horned owl's nest for pellets. We would (bear with me) take them back home to dissect. Inside we found skeletal systems of their prey ranging from mice to small rabbits. It was a surprisingly clean and sterile activity. I found it comparable to opening gifts at Christmas. Now living in the city, I'm short on owl pellets. Thank goodness there are shops such as these to acquire tiny bones through. I find them truly lovely and somewhat chic.
