photo essay . Icy Puddles

14ice1

We’ve had a few milder Spring-like days this week — the typical January indecisiveness of Mississippi weather. It’s been fun to go out without coats, but we are anticipating the return of the cold tonight. Below-freezing temps had me thinking back to some icy walks we took during our Thanksgiving farm trip, and some photos I never shared. What began as an alert that “there’s GLASS on the road!!” ended with some chilly fun looking at the patterns water makes as it freezes. (And of course, the sound it makes as we break it!)  Winter has its own frosty beauty, even for those of us in the Deep South. Happy Wednesday!

The beginnings of a new illustration. Happy Monday!

Sticks and Bars

Well, 2014 is in full swing now, and I’m very excited about some of the things coming up for Small Pond Graphics. I have some client campaigns I’m working on this month that I’m looking forward to sharing. I’m working on some new block print cards and art prints for the re-imagined print shop. Plus, several Valentine-oriented stamps sets are being produced by Craffiti Direct. I’m excited to share those when they are available on the website!

In December, Craffiti Direct added several more of my illustrated designs to the Small Pond Graphics line of their clear cling stamps. I got my samples in last week, and I’m starting to experiment with projects to share! Today I’m particularly excited about THIS set… You may remember this sketch journal entry I shared back in March I dubbed the “sticks and bars” alphabet. In the Fall, I modified it (in “solid” form) to create a stamp set you can use to create and stamp your own words and messages. It’s been pretty cool to see one of my hand-drawn alphabets translated into a tangible product! Happy Weekend!
