Inspiration


I made this mosaic mirror a few years back. Recently I have been stressing over making my art perfect because for the first time in my life I am trying to actually sell it. I love this mirror and I remember being so proud of it when I first finished. It has become a sense of inspiration for me with my new printing projects. Reminding me that I can't over-think my designs and have to trust my artistic instincts, becuase it when you put yourself into something it shows and that's what makes art so great!

Pepper Proud!


I harvested my first peppers from my organic jalapeno plant!!! I am soo excited and proud of myself that I just had to share it with everyone. I went to the market and bought all the necessary ingredients to make salsa from scratch. Yummmm....
