Wonky Circles #2

I'm almost finished with my 2nd wonky circles piece. I'm having fun with these, and it's getting me back into embroidering on my work which I haven't done much of in a while.

Hopefully I get to the last of the embroidery today. I've been feeling a bit under the weather this week but, so far, it feels like today will be different. Aside from not feeling well it's been a good news week. I got a part time job as an after school art teacher (which I'm very excited about), I received news that a bunch of pieces of my art are going to be published in a magazine- which is sooo thrilling, and I made another sale of note cards on Etsy! I am very grateful for all of these things. Very grateful.

New cards, a new painting, and a book

I started today by going to a diner to have breakfast with my brother and my 2 1/2 year old niece and I'll be ending the day by going to my 13 year old niece's play. In between I hope to have a bit of time to make art and also start on my thank you notes to all of the lovely and generous people who came to my shower last weekend.

Speaking of thank you notes! I turned several collages into thank you cards and I love how they look and I'm excited to say that they are up in my Etsy shop! You can take a look here. I also put some "yellow leaves" note cards and "love a lot" note cards in the shop.

I also finished the painting that I posted pictures of last week. It doesn't have a title yet. Here it is:

I thought about painting in the roofs of the houses a solid color but I didn't. I still might do that.

I also finally put together the book form that will hold all of the pictures I took during our month out at the cabin. I have lots of ideas for this book so I hope it comes together! I'm eager to see it in it's finished state but it's quite a big project so I need to take my time and enjoy the process. Here's a sneak peek:

Time to get started on my thank you notes!  xo

New note cards, wall hangings, and lots of bugs

It seems that today all of the spring bugs arrived. Yuck. I know they are part of nature but I just get really creeped out by little tiny things that crawl and buzz. Flies, beetles, worms, bees, spiders- they were all out in full force today. I'm sure they wanted to enjoy the warm weather just like us. It reached the mid 70s today and it was perfect!

A new shipment of note cards came in the other day and they look great! You can check them out over in my Etsy shop here and here. These are very different than the other cards that I've had printed, more abstract and no words. Both of the original collages have embroidery on them and it actually translates well onto the printed card. Also, I'm having a SALE  in my shop until May 24th. Use the coupon code CAMP15 to get 15% off of your purchase!!

 I've been working away in my camp studio and have been on a kick with these single panel wall hangings. Some of them are made on pine panels, others on claybord panels. Here are a bunch of pictures of the ones I've made over the last several days.

 I'm so glad that it's finally feeling like spring, and so grateful that I have some time off to enjoy it. I hope you all are feeling the creative energy of the spring as well!
