New Mini-Sachets



Worked hard and fast on these yesterday... and actually got 'em done! Woo-Hoo!! A few of these will go in the shop and the rest I'm saving for 2 upcoming gallery shows. (I got invited to have a solo show at a local gallery. It's a venue for artists who have smaller works and will be for June!)
Today, I'll be working on my Asian-inspired woodblocks and walk the dog... although we've had flurries and cold wind here. BRRRR. Not much else going on! Happy Sunday.

Lavender Buds and BooBoo

The big harvest. But, first, some news about our cat...
Stop all the clocks, we had to say goodbye to our beloved BooBoo Kitty. He became very ill with Lymphoma and only lasted a few weeks. He is the only pet our kids have ever known and really 'one of us.' Even though they said 'goodbye', they keep asking when we will pick him up from the vet...
BooBoo Kitty - November 1994-February 2, 2009. Sending you lots of catnip and a big loaf of bread!

Stripped lavender stems.... make great kindling
Yesterday I printed on linen... I'm trading a woodblock pillow for a print with a fabulous Seattle artist! (Hooray!!) So, naturally I printed some other things since the ink was mixed and ready to roll. It was then the idea came to me... lavender sachets. My mom has a small lavender farm and there is a lot of the stuff drying in our house. I finally got around to stripping the buds. It was a long process... my daughter helped and later, hubby came home and chipped in. The sachets will likely end up in the shop once the ink dries.
