Cozy
I made a quilted cozyfor Manolo's French press
using my little succulent stamps.
(When stamping on fabric always use ink pads
intended for that purpose)
I was inspired by this beautiful cozy.
That gorgeous white mug
made it all the way to Mexico from
the talented hands of Nancy Bauch of
White Forest Pottery
I've been making so many birdies latelythat I decided to challenge myself
to a month of bird-free art starting today,
let's see if I can make it ;)

From the heart
This little birdie might not be the best singer,but he sings from the heart.
Two new bird stamps I made this week.I had the honor of making the second one
for a very talented artist from Rhode Island:
D.S. Brennan.
