Owl with a Heart
Oh my gosh, I just love this little guy! You probably don't remember since it's been so long, but this is the owl that I started working on way back at the end of June. After I made several of the basic bodies, I kind of got side-tracked working on new paintings & other things.

Patchwork Beginnings

Artful Blogging!
Normally, the title of a magazine wouldn't warrant an exclamation point in the title of a post. But this isn't just any magazine. Aside from being an always rich & lovely publication… My blog is featured in this issue! Yay! This is the fall issue that hits the stands on August 1st. To celebrate, I'd

Gingerbread House
Still picking away at finishing my Hansel & Grethel painting. It's funny, I always pictured the witches' house as made out of gingerbread & covered with candy. But here's the description from the story, "…the house was built of bread, and roofed with cakes; and the window was of transparent sugar." That's all the detail
