tiny floral and lace



A new organic cotton blouse I just added to my shop. One only for now, although I may soon get a little more of this fabric. The fabric is from Westfalenstoffe of Germany. It is quite different from most of the modern and bold type of designs that seem to be popular with organic cotton designers right now. I like those, too, but this is so sweet and soft.

a portrait begun


after the first sitting, composition laid down, figures blocked in. This is my first painting in 8 years (since before my son was born). What lovely muses they make. Funny how they push and pull you like that.

boho chic

a new dress for the shop, size 4T. Sewn from one of Harmony Art's organic cotton sateen fabrics called Eyes of the World. It seemed to be fitting with this peasant style dress. I've attached a handsewn fabric yoyo to add a little festive flare.

I had only enough fabric for the one dress and will be posting it as soon as I get a chance.
