I’m happy to announce that I’ll be teaching another block printing workshop in Athens! In a few weeks I’ll hold a Beginner/Intermediate workshop for those who missed it last fall or who would like to come back and try something a bit more challenging. I wrote about the experience of participating in the [...]
Early summer is my absolute favorite time of year. I love fall, I love the first hints of spring, and I can tolerate winter, but this time of year is the absolute best. Even things like running errands and walking home from work are fun because the trees are so beautiful, flowers are everywhere, and [...]
Heraldry is a fascinating topic – there are so many ways that information about identity was communicated visually through badges and coats of arms. I plan to do another post on the amazing variety in coats of arms, but for today I have two designs to share: One is an 18th century drawing of a [...]
I’m kicking myself for not snapping one of these up sooner, because all but the largest sizes are now sold out! These amazing images were made of puzzles taken apart and recombined. Kent Rogowski, the artist, realized that each puzzle brand uses the same pattern to cut their pieces. This makes each piece fit into [...]
I’m working on a project using these amazing Bird of Paradise Flowers for color and form inspiration. I snapped this picture of one of my samples, and even without the filter I loved the fiery colors against the dark background. Looking forward to sharing my project soon!!
I’ve had my eye on Adatine’s skinny handmade stuffed animals for some time now. Lately, though, they’ve come out with more and I am having such a hard time choosing one to bring home! The black pig might be in first place, but that last image of the rabbit bandits all in a row is [...]
I’m so glad to finally be seeing signs of spring! Despite the fact that this winter was terrifyingly mild, I love it when the daffodils and crocuses start adding some color to bare trees and fields. This week, my brother is visiting from Georgia, and we took a walk across Central Park after visiting the [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day! I know this holiday has gotten so commercialized and silly, but I still love the idea of taking a day to celebrate the people around you and let them know that you care about them. I love sending valentines to friends, relatives, coworkers… anyone that I can, basically! And, of course, Emdash [...]
For the very first collection of Art to Inspiration posts (organized by Supal of Chevrons & Eclairs), we chose a painting by the contemporary Japanese artist Hiroshi Matsumoto. Each blogger involved in the project will [...]
I’ve been working on a new series, similar to the Blue Geometric set, of grey patterns. This is one of my favorites – it’s so time intensive, but I love the energy of the finished product. I have two others that I’m happy with, but nothing I’ve tried for that fourth card is [...]
