The Delicious Dish

After what has probably been months of procrastination I have finally added more items to my Etsy shop. Its not that I don’t like selling work, its finding the time to photograph the work and all that it entails. If you have never heard of it before, Etsy is an online shop for all things handmade. It’s very easy to get lost looking at some of the beautiful things people make.

In other studio news I am back in the studio after a break and playing catch up and getting ready for my next show at the end of September in New Jersey. I will tell you more as things get closer. Yes, I am finally doing sales out of state.                                                     

 I just had to share this photo of the tomato part of my share last week. I made 4 quarts of sauce. I am making more this weekend and tomatillo salsa.

Design Boards and sketch books I love them. I find it fascinating to see how the creative mind works and to see an idea go from inspiration to fruition.  Visiting an artist’s studio and seeing what hangs on the walls. Or sometimes I take a gander at design blogs like the lovely Decor8 just to see how a decorator layers pattern, shape and color together to create a specific mood. I may have this obsession with inspiration boards as I currently do not have any real wall space in my studio so instead I have photographs, postcards and things I have picked up from various sources stuffed in folders and sketchbooks.  Someday I will be able to find them a spot to hang and it will be a map of how my work is slowly evolving. Today with this in mind I wanted to share with you only some of what inspires me.
