my leaf-of-the-day

found on the sidewalk

across from my home.

I want a dress made of fabric that looks just like this.

two colorful scenes 

from my garden… 

worth sharing.

2 small cuttings caught my eye
while on a walk in port townsend, washington
a few years ago.


i took them home and saved them
and scanned them


and they inspired my sprout and vine tea towels.

the march issue of
martha stewart living included sprout and vine
in their

50 garden-inspired finds for spring.

and give myself 15 minutes for each painting,
by the end of the year I hope to be a better artist."

it's intensely green in california right now.

so I did this little weaving:

"too greens"
