bookplates!

My plate for the Paso Robles Library Foundation BookPlates! fundraiser has been fired! Here's a look. I'm pretty happy with the way the solid colors came out. It doesn't look like the colors bled, which was a tiny problem with my plate last year. To get your tickets to the event on November 22 and bid on my plate go to their website!

let's get figgy!

"Let's Get Figgy" is a new book from They Draw and Cook! It's a collection of illustrated fig recipes, including one from me that shows you how to make delicious stuffed figs! I got my copy, did you get yours?

I've had an extra set of paws in my studio this past week! This is Lexus, my mom's teacup Pomeranian. She's staying with us while my mom is in Prague.
