shelter, 8" x 8" abstract landscape, mixed media on panel

on the wire, 9" x 12" abstract landscape, mixed media on 140# hot press paper

these beautiful pieces are part of a new collection of work by laura terry, whom i was lucky enough to study under at the university of arkansas school of architecture. 

laura's stunning new work can all be found at her etsy shop. if i could choose a couple of pieces that i would love to have on my walls, it would be the two above... though i would be giddy to have any of them. the colors are so vibrant and the imagery just reminds me of home. not to mention that i have a serious 'thing' for imagery relating to telephone lines and hay fields. put simply, the pieces are all fantastic.

i am unbelievably tempted to give this as a gift to a certain brother of mine. ha. i would love to see the reaction this little ditty would garner. lovely.

happy turkey day!!!

Happy, happy, happy Thanksgiving! 

I wish everyone (even those who are not celebrating a holiday today) a most wonderful day full of things that you can be thankful for (good friends, great family, good food, good times).

i'm so cool, that...

i love me some typetees.

want, want, want, want, want, want, want.

two things... one: i am absolutely obsessed with maps and have been looking everywhere for a world map that i can hang on my wall. two: i am suffering from a serious condition where i want every beautiful poster i see. imagine my joy when i went to see swissmiss this morning and found this. i. want. it. i want it baaaaad. i really wanted this one, but it was a limited edition and they are all out (which actually kind of makes me want to cry a little on the inside).

sigh.

this absolutely adorable little bundle of joy is magalie - my colleague's niece... that hat on her head... that is one of mine! seriously though, check out those cheeks. this little girl is so precious i can hardly stand it.

when i found out that julia's (said colleague) sister had had her little girl, i got into knitty-mode and made this hat with this yarn (because it's my favorite and it so unbelievably soft... it is such a joy to knit with) for her. it is one of my favorite patterns and it's a one-night-movie-watching kind of project... just my style... and also, apparently, magalie's.

cheers.

yes we can! yes we will!!!
