I've always enjoyed seeing kids marvel at the use of a letterpress. Even my little one, at three years of age, is interested in how "mommy makes prints". So today I'm happy to be offering, for the first time, a workshop for kids between the ages 8 and 12 that not only introduces them to the basic of printmaking with a press, but with a fun twist!

A few weeks ago I was able to get my hands on one of those crazy big erasers "For Big Mistakes" and got to do some carving! It wasn't exactly type high so I just placed a piece of cardboard that was about 3mm thick and that did the trick. The eraser is just big (and small) enough that it's not daunting to work with and gives you plenty of room to ink something up that feels substantial.t a n y ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905061254028253270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281131423272998903.post-32972401192844760452014-09-02T11:59:00.001-04:002014-09-02T11:59:43.040-04:00september workshops

I loved working on this first communion invitation for a little girl named Luna Fragolina. How wonderful is her name? Luna's mother requested a simple design printed in a strawberry red colour. I adore the large script cap and the tiny srawberry amidst the copy. This design is light, playful and sweet!

While looking for crochet projects, I've realised that I like to work
big! That is, with a big hook and big yarn. I find it easier to use than
small hooks and thin yarn. That and the piece works up really quickly
with a big hook. So, I thought I'd try making a crochet rug and my first
one turned out well, so I went ahead and made another. I love the feel of these rugs.

For a little over a month now, I've been hooked on crocheting.
It started with the desire to make myself a cowl. On the spur of the moment, while visiting my mom, I asked her to teach me how to crochet. She did, and the next thing I knew I was crocheting cowls for two straight weeks, probably one a day.
I'm delighted to say that I love doing it. I especially like using soft, wool-blendt a n y ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905061254028253270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281131423272998903.post-91666715947636677692014-03-18T10:30:00.001-04:002014-03-18T10:30:18.049-04:00

These latest cards were inspired by my little guy, who's now almost 26 months old. I think these thoughts of him when I see his sweet little face, or when he makes me laugh and every time he says, "Hi, Mommy!". The list of things he does and says that make my heart full is endless. He is my rock and he hangs the moon.
