Heading back for my last semester of school in a few weeks, I will be finishing up my graphic design associates. I am excited, and wanted to share with you the idea I had for an awesome messenger that will end up being my school bag for the semester. I have ordered the fabric from spoonflower.com, it should be here in about 10 days and I will be sure to post a pic once the whole thing is done, but here is the pattern that will be on the fabric, it is a mirror repeat of my painting “find me,” (the painting itself is posted on the Paintings – women page):  I love the eye shape (with my name in the center) and the other symmetrical shapes that are made by the mirroring of the image.  Here is the bag I will be sewing the fabric to the flap of: As I said I will post a pic of the finished bag in a few weeks.

Here it is, this years Alice in Wonderland Christmas Tree! My sister made me the characters out of paper clay a few years ago, as a birthday present. Earlier this year I made some mushrooms using the mokume gane technique with fimo. Complete with crystal blue drink-me bottles, cards, tiny tea cups, and a rainbow of christmas balls and glass teardrops, it is surrounded at its base by crackly glass balls, and topped off with a feathery mad hat.
