Twig and Leaf

Here's a quick glimpse at what I'm working on next! :)

Etsy Lush...Again!

I just went to Etsy Lush and saw my red bike on the first page of their "Best Of Etsy" :: yay! A sweet ending to a long and tiring day!

Ink Swirl

I stumbled upon this a few weeks ago and have watched the short video several times since. Watching the ink mix and swirl with the water is completely mesmerizing...
Hope you enjoy and are having a pleasant week!

Oh Happy Day

Ruth over at hello7arts wrote a super nice post after receiving my Vino print in the mail yesterday. What a nice surprise! Thanks again Ruth, I hope you're enjoying the print!

Inspirational Artists :: The Invisible Man

Chinese artist Liu Bolin takes photos of himself painted so that he blends into his surroundings :: talk about unique camouflage! It can take him up to ten hours for him to complete a single shot! No trick photography, no photoshop...he just paints himself!

Etsy Lush

My Vino print was featured on Etsy Lush! I went to their website this afternoon to just poke around...and there was my print...staring back at me! Anyway, thought I would share the exciting news. :)

Great Minnesota Get-Together

Today is the first day of the "great Minnesota get-together" :: the Minnesota State Fair, Yay! One of the things I love about the fair is all the creative and crazy foods it promises to dish out :: some newbies this year that I'd love to try...

Chocolate Covered Jalapeno Peppers

Sweet Corn Ice Cream

Breakfast Lollypop - a sausage patty on a stick with a side of maple syrup (yum!)

Anyway, this year's fair looks like it'll be a good one. Good food, excellent people watching... :)

Fresh Ink :: Roman Holiday

I'm really happy with how the vespa print turned out! I printed it on a 8 x 10" piece of Rives paper in a nice and bright kelly green ink :: photographing it proved to be a bit of a challenge, but the pic below is darn close to how the colors look when viewed in person...however, the green is still a bit brighter and the paper a bit whiter...ah well, I'll settle for close enough. :)

Drumroll Please...

Congratulations! Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to enter. It was so nice reading everyone's comments, thanks for all your kind words! I hope some of you new followers stick around because I'll definitely be doing other giveaways in the future!
