Dance The Changes

Well life has changed a lot in the last few months - I had a baby in March, Daria is her name, and she is wonderful :)

Motherhood is so far the most challenging and most rewarding project I've ever undertaken - it is incredible to watch a human being come into being!

It's leaving me less time to work in the studio but filling me with new inspiration for projects to come - more on that soon.

studio doors finally finished!

Well it has only taken about a year - which is not too bad in terms of home projects - to get them up & built and I am as in love with them as one can be in love with doors.  Forgive the sub-par phone pics, I was excited to share them :-)

My husband made the metal hardware himself, and we built the doors together from cedar and pine, and then I added the paper panels, which include paper made from silk, cotton, kozo bark, pressed flowers, and abaca fibers.  Yay!  They still won't keep the cat out, he's small enough he can get underneath, but at least I have a door I can close now!
