whales and sharks in the window



I do the window displays at my bookshop. For the summer I picked an ocean theme with one half filled with a variety of sea animals and one side all about whales. One of our product shipments came with aqua blue paper used in as cushion in the boxes, so I saved it up. I thought it would be perfect for a marine window. It has been a big hit for the past week, kids especially love it, I think they like how shimmery the blue is reflecting off the glass.







A novel I especially recommend is "The Highest Tide" by Jim Lynch. It is written by a local author and is set in Olympia. The main character is a 13 year old budding biologist who finds strange and wonderful creatures in the Puget Sound. I love the writing and it made me look differently at the water I have lived by all my life.

little landscapes







These are the newest in my mixed media book collage series. They are tiny at 3.5" by 4." I am really enjoying experimenting with my vintage book pieces. I try and use all fragments of the books that are used for my coasters. I love to meditate and concentrate on shapes and lines. I did these in just a couple of hours. Am getting a variety of works to choose from for my upcoming show at Nancy.
