happy friday! i hope you've had a good week. i had more of a break here than i meant to; i haven't been feeling very well for the past little while. sorry for the absence. sometimes i get overwhelmed with what to tell you here when too much time goes by, so i i think i'll do a bullet-style update today, if that's okay.
-thanks to everyone who took advantage of my mother's day sale at etsy. much appreciated!
-i recently licensed a bunch more artwork to ipop, and just received some lovely samples of their great magnets in the mail! it's so much fun to see more of my work in this format. i'm saving some for myself, but i've added a few magnet sets to my shop if you're interested. (edited to add: oops! those sold out quickly! sorry i don't have more, but they're available at lots of stores, like spruce and gussy and nahcotta.)
-i was recently asked to contribute to artful blogging magazine, and i just got my copy of the issue in the mail! here's a little peek of my bit. there's lots of good stuff in this issue - it was fun to look through.
-it's starting to feel like spring around here, finally. here are some images from around the island these past few weeks. (and for those of you reading this in a reader, i made a new header for the old blog.)
i love the contrast of the green moss with that paint, and the foggy background. so pretty.
-i made a new spring-inspired papercut. my dream is to start creating some new repeating patterns of some of these botanical designs, and to do some fabric or stationary designs. this papercut is also available as an 11x14" print.
-oh, and when i feel well enough, i've been training with the kids for a little MS bike ride i'm going to be doing in a few weeks with a few of my best pals. just in case you have a burning desire to donate, here's the link. thanks for considering it! i have a feeling it may be a little bit of jamaican bobsled team-ish because i'm a little wobbly lately, but it feels important to me to try to do this ride.
phew! if you're still reading, thanks for sticking with me. i'll try not to wait so long for the next blog update. have a nice weekend!
