shadows from the end of summer.

zea mays

a few weeks ago i had the opportunity to teach a workshop in experimental screen printing at zea mays printmaking in florence, mass.  it was so great - its really a treat to share knowledge with people and watch them use that knowledge to create their own work.  i got connected with zea mays through kim rosen, an illustrator who wanted to learn screen printing.  thanks, kim!

one of my favorite screen prints. standard station by ed ruscha.

we've been making popsicles this summer. this one was horchata, with this recipe. i skipped the cheesecloth in the recipe so they were a little gritty. but i love the patterns in the ice.

i love these silk dot tees from rachel rose on etsy.

a heart shaped leaf. i had to share.

hi folks, it has been a while! i've been spending the last few months getting to know my baby daughter lena, who was born in early june. so far she's sweet sweet sweet and curious about the world. what an amazing thing, to watch a new person from day one. here she is on her first outing to the little beach at a lake near our house. we love introducing her to new things, though she didn't like having her toes in the cool lake water as much as we did!
