New batch of drawings up on flickr. FINALLY.
I feel like I haven't been drawing in a really really long time. I miss it. I'm hoping to do some ink and color stuff coming up soon. Keep an eye open for fresh things popping up in the next few weeks.

LUST LIST

I have summer fever! Everyday, just hanging out in the ocean, or shorts and a tank top. We've been gardening, playing, beaching and SURFING. Todays lust list incorporates some yummy lusting from the great outdoors.

So that's a little early summer lusting for you! Enjoy!

So this is really the only watercolor I have ever done. I am not a master with water and color, it just does not work for me. But this piece has stuck a cord with a lovely lady! She is purchasing the ORIGINAL from me! It's true! High fives all around for my first official art sale!

P.S. I am going to be posting a bunch of painted/crocheted rock art up pretty soon to my Flickr. If it gets good enough response, I will open an Etsy shop for prints and original rock art pieces.
Thoughts? Ideas? An uproar for pictures of said rock loveliness? I'd love to hear it!

I love FOOD!

Our family is embarking on a new journey! Lately, I have been pretty obsessed with our food, what's in it and where it's made. We have always been healthy people who eat little meat and make most of our food, but I always thought we could do better. So, this week, I actually planned out our meals (a first for me) and bought only what i needed, plus one salty snack and one sweet snack. I did all of our veggie and fruit shopping at our local farmers market and, with the help of Vegweb.com, was able to find recipes to fit what I bought. Than, i made a list of what I sill needed and went and got that at a local health food store! Now, this may seem like common sense to some of you, but it's pretty big in our family, especially since I've been doing the cooking. THAT in our family is unheard of. Normally, I will make make maybe one meal a week and darling hubby will do the rest. But I have decided to take control and make our meals this week (and most likely every night if we keep this up).

I am currently compiling drawings of dwellings for a "home" zine. I hope to have a little table in Alternative Press Expo this year! Cross your fingers!

Scrapy and Warm

Last week, in gleeful anticipation for my trip north, I crafted a lovely little cowl out of all my yellow scraps. I included a little embroidery on one part, which reads "I think you're cute". I lined it with my old yellow sweatshirt. It is incredibly snugly and brings gallons of sunshine with it where ever it goes.

The inside is my favorite sweatshirt

going to Santa Cruz, originally uploaded by yarnandtea.

This last weekend I was blessed with a little jaunt up to one of my favorite places, Santa Cruz. There I frolicked with one of my favorite people, the lovely and talented Miss Elle B. This is my drawing I did before I left.
I had an awesome, inspiring time up in those misty mountains. Thanks Elle!
