homemade palette


Several years ago, I made this palette and I am so happy I did. I wish that I still had access to clay so that I could make a few more. Perfect for gouache and watercolor.

painting from a few years ago


Here is a large painting from a few years ago. The footprints are my daughter's.

paintings in progress






Here are some things around the studio. I have not been painting as much as I like, and so these develop slowly. Most of these are nearly done.

canvas wallets




I did find a couple of photos of the earliest wallets, although the later ones had more pockets and detail. (see next post).

canvas wallets and bags






Also, over the summer, I made a new line of canvas wallets and small bags with applique elements, similar to the images I used for the charms. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending how you think of it, I sold most of them before I could photograph them. I hate it when that happens, although the sales are nice. I must get a new camera, and learn how to use it better. Anyway, here are a few I scanned the fronts of. Inside, there are little pockets and surprises, with little notebooks I also made.
