These are just some of the highlights of 10 days on the high seas.  Nice quiet trip.

We've got beads!

It is Mardi Gras time again.  Helped out at the museum today before the pet and children's parade.  I made ATC's with acrylic paint on black cardstock, cut them up then printed "Mardi Gras  2013" on the back.  Didn't have any problem printing 2.5" X 3.5" but had to add opaque white to the yellow already on the press to get the text to show up on the black.  It mixed pretty well considering... Love the playfulness of this Mardi Gras without the drama of too many drunk people!

Second finish, another collaboration

Second finish of the year.   Chase (#1 son) gave me two beautiful matched book covers for Christmas.  This set was combined with hand made paper from Asheville Bookworks and clock parts from Screen Door Store in Asheville.  Coptic stitch hold it all together.  

Finishes and catch up

First finish of the new year, a collaborative project

The handles; duffle is crafted by talented Andrew

Aside from being gone a great deal, I've shoveled out my studio so that I can work.   The missing stuff is in my garage, the car in the driveway.   The entire house has gone through cleaning and organizing in bits and drabs.  By the time I finish, it will be time to start at the beginning again!

Lovely morning

Wild and Crazy New Year

Received an offer I couldn't refuse, and find myself in Asheville! Took a photo this morning and played in photo apps. Bloggsy couldn't find it so copied and pasted. It isn't sized right, but interesting.
