Today, I received my artist copy of Somerset Studio (May/June 2012) magazine. The editors at Stampington did a beautiful job with my article. It's a 4-page spread. I love the colors!
There are a lot of inspiring and informative articles in the magazine. You don't want to miss this issue.
Happy Memorial Day. I hope you are enjoying this beautiful holiday.
I created this mixed-media art piece today. It was done on an 8" x 10" canvas board with shadings of soft blue and cocoa brown inks.

Have you seen this board on Pinterest - Art Journal - Hand Lettering Ideas/Tutorials curated by Sierra Hennessy? Lots of good stuff here!
I love the (above) Hand Lettering created by Lori Vliegen, host of the Elvie Studio Blog. I found her on Pinterest.
Check out Lori's blog - and the Art Journals Board too. And if you find other Pinterest boards focusing on Art Journal or Hand Lettering, please share.
I recently won two Oak Library File Drawers, with brass pulls, on eBay and I already received them. I have special feelings for the Buffalo (NY) library of my youth, where I spent many hours, so I was happy to acquire some vintage Library Drawers.
I plan on using one of them to hold my collaged and watercolor post cards. I'll use the other one to hold containers in the bathroom.
I think I may polish them to bring out the wood grain.
My inspiration for this chair came from a furniture catalog. I used graphite pencils, watercolor paints and watercolor crayons on 140# watercolor paper. This is the kind of chair to snuggle into, on a rainy day, with a good book - or Nook - or Kindle?
And instead of a cup of tea, you might be sipping a Cafe Mocha or a Frappuccino - with your cell phone nearby.
