Z is for ZOO . . .

T is for Tiger... and T is for Time. Time I don't have. Working on things I can't show you just yet... but 'bear with me":)... S is for Soon:)...

Travel by Magic . . .

I travel by the magic of my imagination first... all the other methods of transportation come after:).

New fun magic print.

fall 'n' rain . . .

It's been a cold and rainy September. Soon there'll be a lot more content on my blog... since the weather is driving me inside... into my hobbit hole... into my work.

watercoloring September . . .

I bit of watercoloring... to get my mind less busy. September is the busiest month. School, work, dance lessons, singing lessons, french lessons, basement remodeling... phew... sometimes a girl just needs to watercolor it all out:). Hope your September is moving along swimmingly:).

Saturday afternoons are made of . . .

These are the ingredients that made up my Saturday afternoons this summer. I will miss the summer noise of the neighbourhood children on my lawn, the shifty squirrel that expects to be fed, the spotty neighbours cat that loves the sunny spot on the deck, the coffee on the swing. What were your summer weekends made of?

Work / Life 3 . . .

My copy of Work/Life 3 (the UPPERCASE dirctory of illustration) has arrived today! Yes! Hello pages 68-69:). 

So much to read... so much to discover... so many faces to put to the familiar styles... and, so many illustrators I didn't know of. Love it!

home . . .

Things that I keep around me shape my work. De-clattering my little studio. Getting rid off everything that isn't useful or beautiful. Kind of like 'end of summer' cleaning:).

summer gardens . . .

Last bit of August glows (ready to go out). Some time is still left for the real gardens, but soon the indoor gardens, the inside gardens and the vector gardens will carry the cheery torch.

Pretty Little Circus . . .

I've been asked several times to make a circus print with a horse.
Ta da! I guess the time has come:).

P&P kids . . .

Got my copy of the PRINT & PATTERN kids book!

rainbow under microscope . . .

Time to share some new characters with you. This is what you see if you put the rainbow under the microscope.

teNeues . . .

It never gets old... seeing the finished product... smelling the freshly printed notecards:). 
I was thrilled to get these boxed cards samples from teNeues. They turned out Great! I love the packaging and the colours came out just right.

Folk Therapy

summer roots . . .

What could be better than barbecued root vegetables... 
This delicious pattern has been brought to you by my love of summer (and eating) and my girls love of 'Master Chef' (which is their favourite show... and yes, I was surprised myself).

watercoloring . . .

I've been watercoloring. Whenever I get a free minute. It's my other yoga.
