Funky fabric jewelry - Samara


I really enjoy working with fabric and textiles :)


And beads.




And whatever else I can find.


 Here I've used a bracelet remnant
and an old drop pendant stone.
They're both about 20 years old.

I've yet to give this piece a chain to 
complete it as a necklace.

Or it could be used as a brooch.

Some day I'll post some jewelry pics...


Late spring in Southern Ontario = very nice.
All I want to do is sit outdoors in the cool breeze.
But actually, I'm not really.  Well, not that much.
But there is so much other outdoor stuff going on, 
especially with the NanoBot
(since we're not in the school system)
that it evens out anyways.

But...I do have illustration deadlines.
And I AM trying to work on them.

And I have TONS of pictures that I need to upload,
only not the time to go through them all
and make them web-ready.

Some of them being pics of my fabric jewelry
(made ages ago but still trapped in my camera).

One day soon... :)

Meanwhile, here's a painting (also made a while back).

I call it Rain and the Beachmat.



The NanoBot thinks I made beans falling out of the sky.
Maybe I did?

Upon a Beam of Moonlight

Thank you!!!



My latest venture was with first-time author, Lisa Torres.

"Lisa Torres is a Heilkunst practitioner who specializes in holistic family care,
abuse recovery and travel health. Her international practice based in Ottawa,
Canada, serves women and mothers in English, French, and Spanish.
Her journey thus far has led her around the world and back and from
sickness and despair to health and love. While she previously lived by default
she now lives by inspired design with her beloved husband
and two phenomenal children." 


Simply put - just a story about a girl and a box.

As it says on the book blurb:

A daddy has a little girl.
He also has a box.
He loves his little girl,
and he loves his box.
Can he get the girl
to love the box too?
What if she can’t?
Can they ever be happy?


Behind the quirky illustrations
is a tale of love and acceptance.


I like the universal message of the book.
And that it's for everyone, young and old.

Lisa is working on French and Spanish editions as well.

The book is available here as pdf or hard copy,
or you can download it to your iPad right here.
