A little rearrange brought my heirloom rocker out to the studio. Mom and I recovered this in William Morris’ Strawberry Thief when I was expecting.

I’ve exhibited my work across the country, but this is the first time I’ve been able to attend and see my art in a gallery setting. Thanks to Local Color Studio for including me in this group exhibition.
You can see more photos of The Mental Load here.

Have been experimenting with cardboard as (free) mulch to suppress weeds and 10/10 would recommend. It just has to be wedged or weighed down to avoid blowing away.

The Secret Garden keychain that started my fascination with keys.
As a young child I used to carry this to pine trees in our yard and imagine opening portals to other worlds.

I’ve always wanted one of those living willow houses. I finally realized it was beyond me and ordered this gazebo greenhouse kit – assembled it without the plastic exterior and grow vines on it.
Last year I didn’t put down enough seeds, but this year we planted many more and I bought a clematis (the green vine you see here.)
It may take some trial and error to get the right effect.

Zines may seem simple, but it still takes time and iteration to get them just right. Especially for color. I took extra time this month because March’s zine features one of my exhibiting artworks. This is just a laser print, but with some minor adjustments it’s popping off the page.
