i’m working on FIVE sketchbooks here in vermont. one of them is writing one of my favorite quotes with something that i have found in nature, and then doing a watercolor sketch of said object. this is bringing me such joy. you can see more of the entries here.

there is nothing better than dining al fresco on a lake with a forest behind you.
flying over beautiful lake ninevah en route to VERMONT !

wilma had her birthday party on lake ninevah with a few of her local friends.
the beaches in cape cod are spectacular.
you can’t go to cape cod and not eat LOBSTER rolls !
when the lobster starts blinking . . . your rolls are READY !
i’m fascinated with skate egg cases.
they were all over the beaches and i had to take four of them for inspiration.
surf’s UP !
our annual month in new england has begun !

i LOVE boro textiles. there was such an abundance of them in tokyo. turns out, the next best thing to buying boro fabrics is SKETCHING them ! so satisfying.

two of my favorite things rolled into one: notebooks + shibori. i found these amazing shibori notebooks at the beautiful shop in tokyo called POSTALCO. we spent a long time there drooling over the goods and i left with many treasures.
i bought these items in japan SIMPLY for the packaging.
they will never be opened.
amazing smelling soap + a bag of rice.

i bought these very large sumi brushes at the oedo flea market in tokyo. i’ve been painting with them and can not believe how much INK they hold. painting with them is such a treat.
