Weddings
I have been busy with some signs, calligraphy, and styling for the upcoming wedding season. These aren't the best photos but they are what I have for now. More to come.
Menus and signs
I made the menu board shown below for Mercantile Dining and Provisions before I left Denver, but never posted a photo of it so here it is now. And recently I made a similar sign to use for the upcoming wedding season. I am working with a florist whose studio is next door to mine making delightful props and stylish decor for all the upcoming Vermont summer weddings. It's a glorious time of year!

Old Mill Mercantile
Updates
It has been a long while since I have posted. I am in the process of creating a new website with new shop and blog, but for the moment I am posting some information and images here to serve as a temporary catalog.
As some of you might know, it has been a very eventful year for me as I moved to Vermont in August. This is where I have wanted to live ever since I attended school at Bennington College over 20 years ago. Happily things came together for me making a move possible and I am thrilled to be living in the country again. I am working on a shop here (mail order to start) that encompasses all the things I enjoy making and creating, including textiles, calligraphy, and housewares. The shop name is "Old Mill Mercantile" and will serve as a place where I can create a variety of products beyond just my fine art, and possibly things I will source out to other artisans. In addition, I will continue my "signature lines" that are more actual art. Anyway, it will be a mix of interesting handmade things.
I have finally stopped making the copper framed version of my Affirmation plaques for a number of reasons, but they are still available for special order if anyone needs one to fit in a collection. Now I have a wooden version that I just love. There are two sizes available: 2.5" x 3.25" that have a small peg as an easel back or can hang on the wall. The larger size is 5.5" x 7". The large are a nice wall size, and the small are an adorable gift size, perfect for a desk, dresser, or anywhere. The wood is poplar, and feels nice to touch (it is 3/4" wide and feels substantial.) Also, I have a small black and white (or natural wood) version that has a chalkboard back. Here are some images.
