Saturday, June 25th, join me...

...HERE! i've been, ever so kindly, asked to participate in NativeLA's art-fashion-handmade-flea market this Saturday, June 25th, taking place in lovely Downtown Los Angeles. linocut reduction prints, letterpressed cards & cheeky statements, food trucks, wine, cupcakes, and ... ME! so come on over and say hello.

to Japan, with love...

hello, darling... fancy script, printed with the softest pink.


double hearts to demonstrate solidarity.


hand wrapped with beautiful images from catalougues which otherwise would have been thrown away.

we are all connected, so let's DO SOMETHING!!
5-hand-set, hand-pulled letterpress "Hello, darling..." cards, printed on luxurious Fabriano Mediovalis stationary. cutest hand-set hearts on the accompanying envelopes. i will be donating 25% from the sale of these cards to the Red Cross in order to help aid the relief efforts in Japan. i will do the same for my hand-carved, hand-pulled "feather" print. my etsy shop will be updated with the news, tonight.

sunday's sour cream pancakes = greatest breakfast of all time

this weekend, we were expecting epic amounts of rainfall from what was touted as the "storm of the year." in preparation for staying in for hours on end, i meal planned accordingly, paying special attention to sunday's breakfast. nick & i love eggs of all kinds: poached, scrambled with loads of veggies, fried in bacon grease (okay, i know that one sounds awful, but we only indulge once in a while, and we're sure to drain the excess dripping fat prior to consuming.), but i wanted to make something relatively egg free, new to us & delicious. enter: sour cream pancakes & sour cream maple sauce. you can find the recipe here. they couldn't have been easier to whip up. light & fluffy due to the sour cream, and with only 1 Tbsp. sugar in the entire batch, not at all sweet. i added approximately 1 tsp. of almond extract to the batter for an extra special kick. also pictured: homemade brown sugar & loads of cracked pepper bacon. easy, too! sprinkle with both just prior to placing in the oven. voila!


i'm proclaming this the "greatest breakfast of all time."

...SNEEK PEEK... new 3 block reduction print...

my dears, this is a little glimpse of my new reduction print. IT'S FINISHED! phew, i've been working on it for 10 months. more details, soon...

tea towels

the towels were tightly packaged & secured with rough twine.


individual wrappers identifying each towel, along with the artists name. genius!


"triangles" limited edition


"outer space" limited edition

yesterday i received a little package from one of my favorite etsy shops. inside were two gorgeous tea towels, made from fair trade, 100% organic cotton, holding the printed images of two different illustrations by artist Leah Duncan. because i am so picky, i have been looking for new kitchen towels forever ((i know, christina, they're TOWELS)), and i must say, i am beyond thrilled with these. if you haven't checked out her shop before, please do. so many lovely things -- i want them all!
