I Am Grateful


Four months of radio silence is enough for me--it was snowing when I signed off and here we are on the cusp of summer! My on-line life has been relegated primarily to Instagram where I've been sharing bits of process from the studio.


I've had a lovely break though I dare say it is no longer a sabbatical per se but a new direction entirely. Two concrete decisions have been made. First, the doors of Sushipot have closed for good. Second, I miss blogging so here I am!


My first task back in February was to purge my studio of clutter and give the walls a fresh coat of white paint. The physical chore was a cathartic process and it literally gave me a clean slate to forge ahead into new art-making territory.


Lots of ideas and work are coming out of this time of experimentation. Patterns have been formed, textiles cut, ideas perused, stitches stitched, books read, sketches drawn, wax melted, objects gathered, paper torn and the list goes on and on.


I look forward to looking back at these weeks and sharing my new work with you. In the meantime I thank you for the encouragement you've showered on me via comments, messages and emails. The support during my hiatus has been overwhelming and I am grateful.

So Long Summer


Only a few more hours 'til the official start of Fall though we've already been enjoying some cozy sweater weather. It has been a beautiful Summer....lots of lazy days, road trips and memories. Can't ask for anything better!

I want to thank all of you who celebrated with me this past weekend. Thank you for supporting my work and for all the kind words you've sent my way.

Assembling Tea For Two


Thought you would enjoy watching the latest assemblage come to life. I believe I'll call it "Tea For Two". Next step is to remove everything so I can work on the box before gluing each element into place. The video will come in handy when it's time to piece the puzzle back together.

A big THANK YOU to each of you who shopped and tweeted my Christmas In July sale. It was a big success! All the packages were mailed off yesterday so keep your eye out if you're expecting a Sushipot art object ;)

Thank You


Today is Thanksgiving Day here in the States. I know so many of you visit this space from all over the world (thank you Google Analytics!). Today I want to say thank you to each and everyone of you who take time to stop by and take a gander around this space and my Etsy shop. Thank you for your support of my work and your notes/emails/convos of encouragement. Thank you for the surprise packages of goodies you send my way. To an artist and a mama who works from home....these are the little things that make my day, inspire me and keep me going (that...and coffee!). So today....I wanna say...I am grateful for you.

Our Post Office



Thank you everyone for making my art block BOGO sale a big success! All the sale packages have been shipped so if you're expecting one it should arrive very soon. Lizzie is such a little helper on our post office excursions several times a week. Chances are your package was personally deposited in the package drop by her! After the thousands of packages we've shipped via the USPS since opening our Etsy shop 5 years ago it's hard to believe that the post office is facing such financial straits. I for one wouldn't know what to do without them. Saw this article with some off-the-wall ideas to save the post office. And...not that I'd personally hurt from a 5 day delivery...I'd really feel for Jim, our postal carrier, every Monday with all that extra mail to sort 'n deliver.

Floral Endpapers




Aren't these delicate, floral endpapers exquisite and aged to perfection too? I rediscovered them this week while rummaging through my "Extra Special Ephemera That Must Be Used In A Very Special Way" drawer. I'm sure every collage artist has a drawer labeled like this. Am I right?! Anyhow, before I sign off for the weekend I wanted to say a BIG "thank you" for the glowing response to my newest collages on book covers that I shared earlier in the week. Your comments, tweets, emails, convos and purchases mean the world to me. Have a beautiful weekend!
