Big News!!!

With the completion of my first set of hand-finished textile prints, my new shop  is now O-P-E-N! 
 I will still maintain my Etsy shop, and my new shop will be dedicated to a set of unique, limited-run pieces on the theme of travel and adventure. I currently have five images available as 8.5" x 11" prints on 100% cotton rag watercolor paper. In addition I have The Longneck available as a 12.5" x 16.5" fabric print. These are professionally textile-printed with eco-friendly ink on a lightweight, unprimed linen/cotton canvas. Each print is then hand-cut, individually tea-stained, and the edges hand-frayed in my studio. This lengthy process lends a beautiful aged look and texture, and makes each print unique and one-of-a-kind. No two are alike, and each is signed and dated before shipping. This print makes a beautiful wall hanging on its own, or can be framed with the edges showing.
 Each run of products in my new shop will be created in very limited edition. There are only 6 fabric prints of The Longneck available in this run.
Welcome to the next phase of The Voyagers! 
Many exciting developments are on the way!

 Interesting things going on in my studio these days! I've been busy. 
This morning, we found ourselves in a very cool screenprinting shop that uses only water-based, environmentally-friendly inks. We had a tour of the whole facility, and had many an inspiring converstation.
 Later this afternoon, with a hot sun and a high wind on our back patio, I found myself bent over a bin of fabric soaking in black tea. I very much enjoy tea-dying, but this project is one that is especially dear to my heart.
Are you excited to see the finished product? 
I am!
We're almost there...
Coming soon!

 Apologies for a break in activity of late, but, in addition to a couple of lovely collaborations, I'm also working on a new project of my own in the studio this month.
 Still top-secret, but I'll give you a few glimpses into the goings-on in our neck of the woods!
Looking forward to revealing more soon!
