Knitting Scraps!

What am I doing with these knitting scraps? Well...I am making little inspiration totem animal boxes and plushie monster dollies. I am still looking for people interested in trading me yarn scraps for tiny paintings. I would also love to trade with any quilters or fabric hounds for lovely scraps...particularly wool, flannel, and fleece. Any colors are wonderful but I am way into pink, orange, yellow and lime green. (I will also trade bigger or more minis for lovely bigger stashes) Contact me. :)

This is what I might make with your left overs:

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

I finished this "Okapi Moon Box" a couple of months ago and I just made a tiny okapi dollie (about the size of a quarter) to go inside the box. The box will be for sale at my show.

Healthy Blackberry Smoothie

1 or 2 cups of fresh or frozen blackberries
1 or 2 frozen bananas (frozen is best so the smoothie will be nice and cold)
1/2 package of soft silken tofu
1 or 2 teaspoons of honey (to taste)
Optional grape juice
I like mine without grape juice so it is thick like a milkshake but if you want yours runny add grape juice.

Corn Pones

Tonight it is baked acorn squash with brown sugar of course
Sauteed broccolarabi (however you spell it) with garlic and red pepper flakes
And corn pones! Mmm if you haven't had these before give em a try they are fab and easy:
1 cup corn meal
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teastpoon of baking powder
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup milk or soy milk
I like to add fresh rosemary and chives but you can leave these out or add your own herbs
Mix corn meal, salt, and baking powder. Stir in oil and milk/soy
Grease a large skillet, heat to medium or medium high, drop batter from a tablespoon, shape into 4 pones. Brown on both sides. Good with lots of fresh butter.

Calling all knitters

Hi knitters! Are you out there?

I am making some tiny totem animal boxes and have a need for knitting scraps. I am interested in great colors, soft fuzzies, strange fibers, -novelty- fibers and such. Not so interested in acrylic...So if you save little balls to small to knit with, and small snippets, but haven't known what to do with them-email me! I will trade tiny non-framed original paintings for spiffy tiny stashes.

Magic the Gathering Fan?

If your a fan of the old art of Magic the Gathering you might want to take a peek in my ebay shop. I have several artist proofs available from the game with drawings on the back.

This Argivian Archaeologist proof is at auction for a few more days. It features a drawing similar to the front of the card and a drawing similar to the one on Time Walk.

Limited edition~Giclee Prints

I will soon be offering limited edition Giclee prints of 17 of my most popular recent works of art! The edition is limited to only 25! If you are interested in one of these Giclees email me. The prints are the same size as the original painting so most of these are under 3 inches. Most of them would fit nicely in a 5x7 frame.

These are the 17 images I will soon have avialable.
