Yep, my design. Got approved for stamps (not by the USPS, just by thte folks that make sure custom postage isn't too rude or crude). I'm pleased!

This is just a Shout-Out of appreciation for Marianne and C Gibson. They both gave me great feedback about Stone Window, and I really appreciate it.

So... Go see their blogs, get to know them admire their work (and since they're both artist in different ways, buy stuff if you have the money in this trembling market...).

Thank you!

Stone Window: For those of you that know something about watercolor, please comment on this -- you'll want to click and then click the full-view as well -- the original is about 4" x6" so the full view isn't all that large either.

I like the critters, anyway, and am pleased with being as far along as I am about the stone (mind you, I don't like the stone, I just like that it's better than
a) my previous attempts and
b) way better than another chunk of stone in another painting that is beating the snot out of me).

I did post this to my Fae Folk album here, too, although I am concerned about the upload notice regarding copyright. I think it is intended to meant that the person uploading is owns the copyright/has the right to upload, license, share, and so on, but that's not what it it says. I'm not sure I will keep adding images here.

in which I've been just outflowing. Not much to show for it yet -- nothing finished -- but made progress on 3 watercolors, 1 design logo, 1 knitting project, 2 newsletters, work of its various kinds, wood stacking, billing. This is something. A good something.

Hooking up with zazzle too (http://www.zazzle.com/whimsicaldreams), why not. I like their mug selection better than either deviantArt (http://metasilk.deviantart.com/store/) or cafepress (http://www.cafepress.com/whimsicaldreams).

Spent too much time drooling on the keyboard while browsing CheapJoe's. Mmm, art supplies.

Accidentally went to a watercolor painting gallery show. Yummy. What I learned: loosen up, let the paint do the work. No, really. Let the paint do it. Let go. Let go more. And still more.

Like Sark says: Live Juicy.

Time to use what I've got though. I've got 45 minutes til putting the short guy to bed...

Part of a birthday present (personalized stationery) for my niece. It's fun having a decent printer...
