my cardstore is OPEN!


November 7, 2008

Fun news! My cardstore is open! Over 50 designs for special occasions, or no occasion at all — AND, more to come. I’ve received samples of my Cardstore designs and am so impressed with the quality and color. They are really beautiful. When you place your order, you have the option to personalize the cards [...]

 

giving thanks (a wee bit early).


August 26, 2008

Well, I slept off my mountain exhaustion and am feeling all oxygenated. I have some fun new projects and am now diving into my book head first. Weee. Also, I just posted about our visit with Mata Prasad on chai pilgrimage. It was fun revisiting our time with him! Such a sweet man.
Here is a [...]

 

new work : world of wonders


August 7, 2008

I recently finished this for Oopsy Daisy Fine Art for Kids. It is a growth chart (ruler will be on right) and can be personalized with the child’s name in the clouds to read “—’s world wonders”. I designed it in collage to go with my World Map and/or my ABC Explore the World.
It was [...]

July 16, 2008

I want to thank Penelope over at Illustration Friday for the interview–it is such an honor. And check out the archive at IF for all the previous interviews! So, so SO much talent and insight. And thanks to so many for the kind words and for visiting my site. I hope the interview was inspiring [...]

 

monkey power.


July 11, 2008

I’m having fun playing with tshirt designs for the annual Bhandara festival at the Hanuman Temple here in Taos!…trying to do something different than they have in the past–a little more kid-like and playful and less serious.
In Hinduism, Hanuman started off curious, naive and a bit mischievous–he also had superhero-like powers. Once he thought the [...]

 

treasures.


July 9, 2008

We have so much land excitement and home repairs going on that it’s been a little hard to focus. We’re sorta tackling everything at once during this short, no-snow part of the year. But soon, we’ll have a beautiful little pond (orange fishies and waterfall included) and an inspiring ‘outdoor livingroom’! Yeah!
I thought I’d share [...]

 

monsoon colorforms.


June 24, 2008

Just took a day to play before diving into my next few jobs. This started from a snippet of a dream I had, but it ended up somewhere else. It sorta reminds me of colorforms. Remember those? I loved those. The story always changed depending on how you stuck the shapes to the backdrop. I [...]

 

tree shadows and bird giggles.


June 2, 2008

Gosh! It seems like everything has come alive in the last few weeks–both in the garden and in our community. So many gatherings with friends, hikes, picnics, campfires. It’s so beautiful and feels so good! Yesterday morning, I moved my yoga practice outside, and had a really nice sunrise session with two friends on a [...]

 

Out with the old! Woohoo for the new!


May 27, 2008

I’m doing a fine jiggle wiggle in celebration for the launch of my new site! THANK YOU, BRIANNA AND JOSH! You two are amazing. Wowsers. Special thanks to Brianna for ALL her patience with me and my Gemini mind. I can’t believe it’s finished. Feels so good. So much work goes into these things. Of [...]

 

my travelin’ eye is a real book!


April 4, 2008

Woohoo! My Travelin’ Eye is out! It’s a real book, hard bound and all. Hee. hee. It’s so surreal. I still remember the day my editor left the message on my machine. She called the day she got my dummy to say she wanted to publish it. I kept that message for almost 2 years [...]
