We just spent a much needed break in the sunshine state.
A visit to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is always enchanting and
I had to share a few pictures with you. No doubt they will inspire some new work.
Anyhoo, I am back in the studio looking out on six more inches of snow!
Hoping spring will come sooner than later. Savoring the memories of the last few days.

If you have a moment,  hop on over to Storey Publishing's blog.
 They posted a little Q & A with me and are having a book + print giveaway!
Have a great week all!

Signs of Spring

A bunch of tulips
I'm banishing winter away with a bunch of tulips.
diversions
Yesterday was so promising with little signs of spring outside.
And then the snow started falling last night. One more storm. 
Twig typography
Looking ahead to warmer days, I'm finally getting to work on a little series 
that I've been thinking about for over a year. Twig typography!
I love, love, love type and fonts and hope you do too.
I'm nearly half way through the alphabet and 
I can't wait to see all of the letters assembled together!
