recently

i haven't been taking too many photos lately, and it's been bugging me. so i'm trying to pick up my camera a bit again. this is a little piece of my sea urchin collection.

some stuff i've been appreciating lately:

a mighty girl. what a great resource.

my pinterest boards. i fell in (like everyone else in the world) and i can't get out. it's so well laid out and visually pleasing to me.

beginners. i just finally got a chance to watch this lovely movie, and i thought it was excellent. one of the best movies i've seen in ages. my love for christopher plummer is deep and long standing, and he was especially good in this film.

minding your mitochondria.  inspiring + interesting to me as someone with MS, but good food for thought for everyone.

draw something. SO MUCH FUN. that is all.

 

caine's arcade

 

i could not love this any more.

love is making its way back home

 

incredibly smitten with this video by josh ritter. the paper work!! amazing. and i really like the song.

watching + listening

 

i love this. via liz

 

this is one of those songs i have heard here and there and finally tracked down last week. not new, but beautiful.

thank you

first off, thank you for all of your nice comments about the poster in my last post! i wish i had one to give to each of you. i've emailed the winners this morning.

below are a few more of my pieces for the enormous tiny art show 11, opening next week at nahcotta.

you are here

i don't know about you, but sometimes i need a little reminder.

you are here.

and since i seem to be on a dancing video kick this week, this is so awesome. (there's some swearing in the music, just so you know.) this music has been my studio companion all week.

gorgeous.

 

 

rookie magazine

i'd like to send a little shout out to rookie - a new online magazine for teenage girls.

thank you. i love you.

and sweet mother of girl angst, where were you when i was navigating those awkward adolescent years? oh wait. i forgot. i am still navigating those awkward girl years.

anyway, thank you for having my daughter's back. we're really enjoying reading it together.

 

 

in case you haven't seen this yet...

one of the most beautiful videos i have ever seen.

 

 

thank you etsy + holiday weekend

i wanted to say a big thank you to etsy and rena tom for featuring my print on the etsy blog today - the post feature's rena's california modern home.  i am a big fan of rena's style and have been for several years, so i was honored to be included. and man, it never ceases to amaze me what a surprise post can do to get your stuff out there into the world. i always feel super appreciative when extra sales come from unexpected places.

i also always appreciate being  featured in etsy treasuries. i thought i'd share a picture of this one from corelladeisgn  (thank you!) because it's fun for the holiday weekend, and even though i don't always gravitate toward red/white/blue as a rule, i really liked these colors and forms together:

 

and happy 4th of july weekend!  we're enjoying the beautiful maine weather, and are about to peddle over here for some beach time:

so far, i've only hung out on this beach at twilight, so i am looking forward to experiencing it in the daytime. maybe we'll even swim.  tomorrow, parade and fireworks. maybe some s'mores and sparklers, too.
