Early reader!

This may be my youngest fan! We haven't met, but I received this pic from her aunt who says her niece loves having this read to her multiple times a day.  The BUTTON board-book series was done so many years ago I can't even remember, probably in the mid-1980's.

So sweet!

And now my very newest book has arrived on my doorstep!

A happy poem for Storyworks magazine

Fun poster assignments

These large posters were for Heinemann Publishing

More surface treatment experiments

This is addictive. I love not knowing exactly how these will turn out except that they will be magic ~ beautifully intriguing ~ mysterious.

Experiments in color

Playing with surface treatments on my beads:

washes, drips, spatters, layers on layers of paints, inks, patinas, glazes, powders to create something new. Plus even more layers of polycrylic to give some of them a surface that's glass-like.

Totally gorgeous colors.

Paper, paper, paper

Lately I've been on a paper bead kick ~ using my stash of painted papers, and designs I have made just for bead making ~ and have made boxes full of pretty patterned beads all waiting to become  used in a piece of jewelry.

These are works in progress:
