Today included brushing away the cobwebs and ripping out the weeds that have grown over the winter and spring. If…

My full outdoor and mobile studio setup is changing and evolving! A studio is both a place, a collection of materials, and a creative practice all rolled into one. The best way to design is by doing. Today a new low table design, that fits on top of the red wagon, emerged in the process.…

Arranging rocks and objects is a meditation for me. As a bonus it’s interactive art that brings color and texture in the room. I’m considering submitting some to the art competition titled, Tiny but mighty, that features women artists.

This mortar and pestle incense kit is from the Etsy shop, Enchanted Moon Store. The store came to my attention because it manages the Facebook group, Tarot Study Group, with over 23,000 members.

Recently, a trip to Scotland and watching the movie, The Last Unicorn sparked an interest in creating this flying unicorn pegasus pin. I’ll have 50 of these little guys soon (see final drawing at…
