Sunflowers on a warm pink day
Armed with fabric from Spoonflower.com and a bit of desire here is a new tie for a sweet summer day. It would be perfect with lemon aid and a shaded hammock. I have been scared of the sewing machine ever since my mother told me tales of needles through fingers when I was small and… Continue reading Sunflowers on a warm pink day

The trees were covered in frost crystals
On my way to work this morning all the trees and grass were covered with white frost crystals. It was beautiful.

There is a beauty in the bare branches… Continue reading The trees were covered in frost crystals

Art-i-fact #003
Today the Art-i-fact is more painterly and maybe a bit clownish. Art-i-fact #003 I once talked to a bow-tie-wearing gentleman that told me that he always wanted to be sure that his bow ties didn’t look “clownish.” Since then I have been concerned about the same thing. For today I took the liberty to go… Continue reading Art-i-fact #003
Art-i-fact #002
Two days in a row and the second Art-i-fact of the year. It feels good to make images. I have found that my head is filled with ideas, but they are not in a visual form. The only way I can see what I am thinking is to make work. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised.… Continue reading Art-i-fact #002

For today I have created a pattern called titled the very imaginative name, Pattern #001-2013.
