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.

this bowl was at the SHOJI HAMADA MUSEUM in mashiko. the museum, which is also the former studio + residence of shoji hamamda, is an incredible experience. i highly recommend a visit if you are in tokyo.
this is my wall of bad glazes and misspelled words. i look at this wall every day when i play my piano and am reminded that some mistakes are not all that bad !
i leave behind a trail of words around the world wherever i go. this one was found at the lovely shop of studio patro.
i just used oils for the first time in my life and painted my first abstract painting ever. it was SO. MUCH. FUN ! i never knew what i was missing but i’m so glad i found it. i’ve been having fun in my studio doing what ever my heart desires . . . feeling very content.
there is quite a large selection of my work at this BEAUTIFUL new store called the found cottage. the lovely store is filled with antiques, vintage, handmade, unique finds, clothing, jewelry, and a lot more. my kind of store !
i’m back in my studio, all of my orders are done, and my inbox is EMPTY ! i am taking this time to reboot and to creatively explore, paint, sew, and just make what i want to make. i’ve been on such a working roller coaster for the past 20 years and i’m looking forward to taking a step back and just being creative rather than just creating. stay tuned to see what develops . . .
