Lost and Many Other Things Found

It all started when I couldn't find my French curve that I needed to complete a drawing.  Oh crap, that means I have to enter the black hole that is my office to look for it.  What a complete mess!  On the grand journey of finding the French curve, I had the fortunate experience of uncovering archaeological discoveries from my recent history.  Enjoy!

Visualingual's Seed Bombs are made by talented friends of ours and coincidentally purchased for me by another friend of mine.  We're so excited that these are available at Anthropologie and cutesy boutiques around the country!  Cool blog, too!

These mini florist buckets would be so springtime adorable with little tufts of green moss and an extra large pearl or two resting on top!  Scored these at the last White Elephant Sale.   

This was a wood burning test for a project I helped a friend out with.  More to come in the months ahead about this one...

Sorry to pop in and out, but I'm in hummingbird mode of late.  Which of course means that a flood of happy happy things are coming this way!

"Wraggle Taggle Gypsy" Wood Talismans

I picked up a darling little book at an estate sale last summer because of the motifs in its illustrations.  So the other day I brought out my wood burning tool and experimented with a few sketches that I borrowed from the Fireside Book of Folk Songs, drawn by Alice and Martin Probensen.  Since gypsy is the new woodland, I had to try drawing this little cart.  I love the stovepipe coming out of the top!

Stay tuned and sit tight- I'll have some new trellises to show in the coming days, especially if the rain continues!

Burnt to a Lovely Crisp

Well, I finally got around to buying a wood-burning tool and without managing to burn my fingers (hooray!) made a darn pretty sign for the front garden if I do say so myself. I'm still drooling over the logo, which was designed by my friends one of which can be found here.
