So, to give my artist brain a little out-breath (I do tend to hold my breath when I am working hard...anyone else do that?), I go to a friend's printmaking studio about three times a month, and make prints. It's a lovely place, and I'm telling you, there is some kind of magic in the air there--from the minute I arrive till the last smear of ink has been washed from my face, I am in full, giddy, delirious, (messy) creative mode. Maybe it's that it's not my own space. Maybe it's that all of the tools and supplies are available, functional, clean and well organized. Maybe it's that I have a very defined amount of time in which to make what I have to make. Whatever it is, I like it!
Anyway, I have been making small prints of nothing but pears and elephants lately. Hundreds of pears, and soon hundreds of elephants. And I thought I'd share some of each with you here. I think the elephant may have a tale to tell. And I think the pears are jaunty.

Yay for deadlines! :)
It's always so fun to check out your art. I think you're right: the elephant has a tale to tell.
Interesting about the magic in your friend's studio. Keep enjoying it!
whenever I look at your creations I get insanely jealous...of the process you are so patient with and your delicious products! Keep at it. maye the jealousy will turn into inspiration!
I love your work! Gorgeous boldness!
Thanks for visiting Dawn, Jenn, and Faith!
I'm so happy to have found your blog--I love these prints and love your post on my blog about the tiny things. Maybe you will post pics of them? I'm off now to your website. And Pippins in cooool.
