10.4.11

I've just come off a very long 6 month contract that kept me in front a computer screen for what seemed like a million hours a day. Chances are another "job" will take me away again before the month is over. We also moved, so my shop has been totally out of commission for a while. The hot summer weather seems to have finally given way to some thing sort of like autumn and even more miraculously, I have a few days off with childcare. I'm hoping to be ready for a little sale near San Jose in November so I'm practically sequestering myself with the hope and dream that my little fingers and even littler brain can come up with enough stuff to fill a table.

I printed these illustrations with Spoonflower ages ago and have finally seen one to completion. I'm not sure about the crazy asymmetry but it is nice and squishy!

I may have been a little overzealous with the thick yarn french knots but hey art is about taking risks, right? I also feel like I finally got the French Knot to look right and I didn't want to stop.

Tomorrow I hope to be working on a similar large print of Dia de Los Muertos illustration - fingers crossed.
