Inside my sketchbook

Trying new suggestions from the surface design class. Some are successful, some need extra work.
But that's what sketchbooks are for: learning from practice.

It's funny...

It's funny the things that remind you of people.

I am making a grilled cheese sandwich: jarlsburg cheese on artisan bread. It makes me think of my mom. She always had the best cheese & bread for grilled sandwiches.

She's at an art retreat for 2 weeks--no phone, no internet--and it's dificult because we are usually on the phone 3 times a week.

She'll be home on Sunday and I plan to talk her ear off on Monday. (Hope you got enough quiet, Ma! Love you!)

3 days of gifts!

A new take on witch bottles.
Originally meant to keep the evil eye away, witch bottles were full of broken glass, pins & needles and buried near the entrance to the house.
These witch bottles are full of things that sparkle and topped with witch hats. Made for some of my favorite witches.
