through a glass brightly

i am remiss for not posting these great photos that hannah took at John and Elizabeth's wedding party. we made some honey almond goatsmilk soaps for their favors, and i got to do some invitation labeling. they very nicely envited me along too. it was a beautiful ceremony, fantastic local food, beautiful hammered dulcimer music in the background... just great!

these photos are of jasper looking very pimp-ish in a snazzy herringbone jacket, Neko (pj's son) one of hannah and pj (looking unusually earnest) and one of yours truly!

new product???

check out these new awesome little ipod/digital camera holders i made!! the eiffel tower one was made entirely out of thrift shop sweaters that i felted up and cut up. the other one features some great thread from a wonderful trip to Napa CA with my good buddy Ariel and some cool buttons from the habitat store. i'm very pleased with them!

mom and the christmas rat

my mom with the christmas tree

my mom got a tree for her birthday this year! had such a great time helping decorate it. do note the "comet" of the red star and swirly cluster of bright lights coming down from the top. too cool! i'll be posting some photos of my phantasmagoricaly bright tree soon!

blowing leaves

today is a wonderful blustery day! leaves are racing down the main street in front of my shop. you can really hear them because there are so few cars parked on the street :) actually, i've had some very nice customers today and i've managed to get so many things done! lots of bird prints framed and loose ends tied up. here is a new card i've been making that goes with the day, i think!

Scarborough Fair

this is a new platter continuing my Flora Series. the name comes from the Simon and Garfunkel song with the chorus "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" all of which are still growing out in the garden now. i also made a larger version that would perfect for serving a thanksgiving turkey on!

New Silver Earrings

this is a prototype of something i'd love to keep making, and making it better. my jewelry teacher encouraged me to make this a signature thing..... we shall see!!
