Painting on Linen
I'm painting directly on heavyweight 100% linen with fabric paints to make a few pillow covers for our home and some as gifts. I will spend my day sewing which is a nice break from all the drawing I've been doing lately.

Altered Photos
Last year when I visited my sweet friend Margie in Toronto she took Sonia & me treasure hunting at the St. Lawrence Flea Market and I bought this little bundle of photos of Ottawa. I love the aqua color of the packaging and had to add it to my vintage ephemera collection. I finally had the chance to do something with them! I'll be altering one photo every day for the next nine days. I'm painting directly on the 3.5 x 2.5 black & white photos with FW Acrylic inks and my usual size 0 liner brush.
***I'm so excited to be going back to visit Margie in a few weeks!
I will be doing a one day stamp carving workshop at our friend Arounna's shop Boohkou.
There are still a couple of spaces available in case you want to join us.
I'd love to meet you if you're in the neighborhood!

Tianguis de Ocoyoacac
This where you'll find me & Manolo early Wednesday mornings.
No better place to buy freshly made blue corn tortillas,
fresh fruits, veggies, herbs and wild mushrooms.
I love the colors, the smells, the sounds, tasted
and the super friendly vendors at this weekly market.

Arrows
I took a break from drawing this afternoon and painted myself a bowlful of arrows with my trusty acrylic inks on smooth river stones. I used gold acrylic paint for the arrowheads.
