Haiku
Crys (@bigbrightbulb from bigbrightbulb.com) ordered my Time Flies journal from my shop last week. She said she wanted a place to write her haikus. And this is the first one she wrote:
O Alexia! Bless your busy mind & hand You make Happy, too
Thanks Crys for the lovely haiku! It made me happy.

The Tree Fiasco
oops.
I swear I have a good excuse.
You see, this Tree – a red oak – was uprooted during a horrible storm with winds reaching 75mph last Monday April 13th (tree with a capital T since it’s 100 year life-span and 15-ton weight sort of make it a Tree). It fell in the direction of our [...]
New journal.
New journal. Original painting on cover

1001 Journals
1001 Journals picked up where 1000 Journals left off. This is a wildly successful mail-art project that I tried to participate in, but all the journals were closed when I got word of it. So now I’m sifting through the current open journals to see which one I want to do.
I’ve also ordered the [...]
It’s almost here!
About a year ago I submitted some journal pages for a book called “1000 Artist Journal Pages.” Today I got a glimpse of the cover, and realized it’ll be out in July! There are so many fantastic journal artists and I just can’t wait to get a copy. Go pre-order it from Amazon!.

Crowned… another new journal for sale.
Aaaand… yet another journal added to the shop. This one was very fun to make. It’s another painted cover journal, I used red as a base and some watered-down white to make some neat splashy effects. I’ll definitely use those techniques again.
New journal in the shop!
Added another small journal to the shop. This one’s called “July!” – the colors remind me of bright summer days. It’s about 2.75″ x 4.5″ with a spine just over 1″ wide, filled with a good heavyweight printmaking paper & held closed by an elastic.
More coming soon!
