Welcoming Winter
I always make my Christmas cards if I can. This year’s design was partly inspired by the work of Masaru Emoto. I made these cards with a lot of love, and made sure that intuitively I was “on” and present during each step of the process. I wanted to literally send love to others without just writing about it inside the card.

recent intuitive heartstorming
These are the squares I’ve made. There is no deadline, timeline, framework, pattern or scheme here. There is only a delightful inner awareness of each little part, as it relates to and turns into a whole. The Tao Te Ching says that a journey of a thousand (?) miles starts with one step. Well, the creation of this queen (?) sized quilt started and progresses by choosing and measuring each single square of fabric.

Be the space you need
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
Leo Buscaglia
Do you ever find yourself worrying about imagined threats? It is the worst feeling, especially if you are a particularly imaginative person. Luckily, because you are imaginative, you are just as good at recovering from this anxiousness as [...]

Like Water for Mountains

Mineral Glitter
The mica at Harvard Quarry looked like disco ball wreckage strewn all over the place. It was like walking on mirror shards, broken bottles and diamonds. I sat down in it and allowed myself to be taken in by the exotic twinkles and warm sunshine. I brought some home with me and ground it down. The sprinkles stick beautifully to printing ink. Difficult to photograph, but dazzling to the eye and totally fun to play with!

Boundless Sky
I long to be where the sky is enormous and full of sunshine again, so I’m making painting of that place. It’s so nice to know what you want and where you want to be!

go with the ebb
This watercolor had exciting moments along the way but I managed to cover most of them up by the time it was “finished”. But it helped me figure out some of the visual problems that come when trying to depict something that looks so unreal to begin with — the landscape in Abiquiu, NM. This is the first time I made a watercolor without brushes! All you need are watercolor pencils, some drinking water, and a finger for puddling the two together.

having a good time
A wise woman recently told me that we’re allowed to enjoy ourselves now “more than ever before” and that sounds like great news to me!

Why not make several?
After traveling in New Mexico and falling in love with the landscape there, I considered purchasing a reproduction of one of Georgia O’Keeffe’s mesa paintings, but then realized what I really wanted to do was make some of my own.

New Mexico Fantasy
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
Dr. Seuss, Oh! The Places You’ll Go
Depicting a place or a person or a thing you love gives you the chance to linger there, loving it… A wise person once told me to [...]
