  • Fishy Fishy In The Brook

    The beginning of a nursery rhyme was stuck in my head “Fishy fishy in the brook” when I started sketching. I had to actually google the rest of it so I could get it out of my head. My husband likes to say this one whenever we eat fish or sushi. Here is the…

  • Reason, Season or Lifetime

    Last night I was idly sketching, thinking about friendships past and present. How some people quickly cross paths and some for longer journeys. There was a certain poem I was looking as I thought about all those relationships and how some had faded away or even cut away. I came across the following poem…

  • Come To The Edge

    I love this poem by Christopher Logue. When I first started this piece, I was thinking of lettering in the saying “Fly Free” but then I remembered “Come To The Edge” and thought it most appropriate. Come To The Edge Come to the edge. We might fall. Come to the edge. It’s too high!…

  • Reusing An Old Book

    I have been creating and posting away for over a month now – the only problem, it’s all been shared on Facebook! My poor blog. Let me start off by sharing two sketches I did on book pages. Now I am a book lover. And when this old paperback book of mine from high…
