Honeybee No. 3

Wonder Boys

We are sailing into another sweltering week and the multitude of spring color that lingered into June has given way to July's lush greens in the garden, the juicy oranges of the flowering squash vines and the (much too warm) yellow of the blazing summer sun.  All three kiddos are at my parents for the week so I have lots of time to spend in the studio and one exciting side trip planned (more on that soon!).  So I'm up early on this Monday morning, ready to work and sending you wishes for a creative, productive, cool-as-the-blue-lake kind of week.  

Star light, star bright-

Sweet dreams on this gorgeous summer evening...

Getting it so right...

Porter by Tea and Ink Studio

This is the extraordinary wood block print  I found inside an envelope in my mailbox today.  Shortly after our 13 year old Welsh Terrier passed away I asked long time on-line friend and-oh-so-talented print maker Brenda Everett (of Tea and Ink Studio) if she could create a print of Porter from one of my favorite photographs.  The block she carved and the print it created simply blew me away this morning.  I can't even begin to thank her for this piece of art which captured our sweet, mischievous, dearly missed friend so perfectly. It is more beautiful than I could have even imagined and I love it.
