I currently have 3 watercolor palettes that I use regularly: The large one is a Schmincke Horadam Aquarell box that came with 12 colors, and I’ve added a few more. It’s new, so I’ve only used it a few times. The box is a nice size, but rather heavy when full. Because it’s an expensive, […]

This 4 x 6 inch collage is make from magazine images, part of a map, a painted background, and some machine stitching. For some reason, I’ve struggled with the title to this piece. I’m sure I’ll change my mind a few more times before long. I’ll stick with this title, at least long enough to […]

My friend Jane, over at Maiden Jane, was thinking recently about her hands and all they do – all the hard-working, dedicated, complex things. She posted a challenge to see other people’s hands. Ok. I’ll bite…here you go. I used to have nice hands: long thin fingers and long nails that rarely broke. Those days […]

Thanks for your challenges and opportunities, your joys and sorrows. You’ve been a good year, tough, but far easier to navigate than your predecessor. 2010 was brutal. You’ve been gentler. Thank you for that. On the personal side, my family handled a big transition as we cleaned and renovated Mom and Dad’s old house so […]
