Series and Editions

I've been working hard on a new series of lunch sacks for Squidfire's 2008 Winter Art Mart (Sunday, December 7th, 12-6:30PM
Lyric Opera House – 110 West Mount Royal Avenue – Baltimore, MD 21201) where I will have a table. Also, I've been having fun printing two color lino-cut Christmas cards (two editions so far).

#11 through #15

#6 through #10

HO, HO, HO (as in scale)!

I've been working on a small edition of 15 Christmas ornaments with painted scenery in watercolor, HO scale people and deer, faux bois in birch and walnut oil cloth on the outside of Eli's cat food tins, pipe cleaners in garish colors and glitter glue. Here are the first five ornaments (taking me back to Christmas parties in the suburbs, hanging out under Mr. Hank's magic train garden table at Gretchen's house).

Trees and a New Garden

The trees are so pretty today against the gray sky. The weather has been warm, so I made another little garden (around our birdbath with rocks from my parent's yard). I plan to plant some wildflower seeds in the spring and who knows what else.
