Blue Connection Residency

I have been so busy this week getting ready for my event at the Blue Connection. Today is the day! Thought I’d share the event poster with you guys.

summer excitement

Hello friends! I don’t do this often, but I figured I’d share a little about myself and some things I am very excited about, I just can’t contain myself. First off the above picture is just one I took of a Pyrex dish I own and love and have meaning to post for a while. Cute eh? I love the retro Americana imagery.

So anyway, today Brian and I got keys to the house we are going to be renting. This summer we will be slowly transferring from our apartment to a cute, older historic home close to Millikin with lots and lots of space and character. We can’t wait to get settled in and  start decorating!

And finally, the thing I am most excited about, today Brian and I are doing a 16 hour road trip (round-trip) to Michigan to pick up a letterpress. I’ve heard people say that when the time is right a press will find you. Suddenly, out of nowhere we stumbled across our perfect match, sooner than we ever expected. We plan to transform the basement of our new house into a silk-screen/letterpress studio and will hopefully be starting a little business. I am so happy that summer has finally arrived and I will actually have a little time to devote to my personal handmade dreams.

And… last weekend I went back to my home home to see my family. Got this cute romper and my sister Grace and I had a fun little photo-shoot! Ahh summer….

printmaking

Figured I’d share what I’d been up to in printmaking class this semester. These are two prints gone mixed media pieces that I was really happy with.

a crystal by me

I drew this for fun a while ago. If crystals grew on circus tents, this is what they would look like.

happy friday

Happy Friday! Here’s a fun bitty drawing I did the other day. The bite mark on top is from my bunny Rothko, who apparently isn’t a fan of kitty drawings. Have  a great weekend everyone!

I’m finally getting around to uploading all the work from my show. Definitely look out for prints coming to my Etsy shop soon!
