this week





a mixed media collage and painting 

using one of my sketches










and another with my sketch...

or half a sketch :)








kitties painted on a post card







a friend snuck a photo

while i set up on the print press








printed grape leaves and curly ques 



i received these beautiful gifts 






a stunning atc from the so very

talented mixed media artist annie hamman







and this charming atc and lilting poem 










and my fellow corita kent enthusiast,

jacki long so generously gave me this 

bag with a corita quote 






and a booklet full of her postcards.

if you don't know of corita, which i have

learned, many do not,  she is a sours

of endless inspiration.
