I think it's really important to work on art that isn't work related-
It really frees up the mind and gets the creative juices flowing.

This altar is made of scraps of foam core that I can never bear to throw out. I cover them with paper mache (really strips of newspaper dipped in watered down glue) then I cover it with a coat of white paint then proceed to decorate with block prints and pencil and water color.
It's for my wonderful friend, El.

Well if you don't know already, I'm hosting, along with Jenn, a card crafting party- it's free and all of you are invited. We will be using all fun methods we can think of to create cards- glitter will be included, as will: block printing, nature printing, glue guns, screen printing, letterpress. So if you want to come- this Sunday at 1:00--simply e-mail me, and I'll give you directions! Snacks and drinks will be provided, and children are welcome.

Hey that's me!

Well, so here I am just "googling" myself and I come across this great blog that mentions me- as in Moontea Artwork! decor8 It's so nice to be mentioned in such a lovely blog- Thank you! I'm still working on licensing- what a lot of work! Making sure I have everything copywritten (writed?) Which images- out of thousands I have- to send out to represent my style... These are water colored drawings some of which got turned into block prints. Hmmmm- got my first rejection- but how do you know unless you try- right?

Lavender Fair!

Well, it's official! I will be participating in the Oregon Lavender Festival Artisan Fair coming up this weekend- so if you find yourself in the area come by and visit me at my booth. I will have all sorts of goodies: sachets, bags, pillows and cards. Make sure to introduce yourself if I don't already know you (mom)! The Fair is July 11-12 in the town of Yamhill (Oregon)- It's really fun and wonderfully scented.
