It's Patrick's spicy goat milk concoction inspired by his original chai guru's chai. It's extra special. He's even been making me my own "chai-less" batch (everything but the caffeine for me and Baby). You ... http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/11/11/chai-guru-chai-recipe/ Two long walks snowshoeing with my dog, yoga, a toasty fire in the woodstove, nourishing meals, a full day of painting, and a night out with my awesome husband and friends. Yup. Heaven on earth. http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/11/10/heaven-on-earth/ 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 ... http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/11/07/my-cardstore-is-open/ Every sunrise and sunset, Oso and I take a long walk, passing thru the Lorien Forest and the 'wedding meadow' (where Patrick and I got married).

I keep wondering how my world affects the baby's world, and ... http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/11/03/walking-falling-leaves/ http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/11/07/my-cardstore-is-open/ Sometimes my work table gets a little out of control, especially when I'm working on more than one job at once. I found this fun, accidental color assemblage this morning under a pile of sketches and research while cleaning up. The photo is from a tiny mountain village in Sikkim ... http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/10/31/table-top-color-bits-and-holi-halloween/ Our prayers were answered -- we found our "dream 22-ft geodesic dome greenhouse" (click here) while we were in Pagosa Springs last weekend. It is used (2 years old) and although they were asking top $$$, they accepted our lower offer (that was still our max), and now it's ours! ... http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/10/28/prayers-answered-yippppeeeee/ Just got back from an awesome 4-day roadtrip to Colorado hiking, playing, and chillin' in the hot springs. Er, well, just warm springs for me, but still so nice. Feels good to have a little sun on the face and energy in the cup. The weather was perfect. Ultra beautiful ... http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/10/27/music-for-painting-help/ Hope you had a nice weekend! We spent yesterday in the garden harvesting more veggies and closing down the garden. Spread thousands of wildflower seeds all around our land and played soccer with friends. It was premo Fall weather. No choice but to be outside. And this morning I'm refreshed and ... http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/2008/10/20/wall-collage/ FUN, high-quality archival prints now available!! http://dancingelephantstudio.com/visualart/for-sale/archival-prints/
