First, I gotta say, please come out to the Hand-to-Hand Market at and ABOVE the Green Bean in the heart of downtown Greensboro on South Elm St. It runs from 3-10 p.m. and my work is for sale upstairs on the shelves. There will be live music, demos, and TED-like talks on food and sustainability.…

Okay, I’m not a great photographer these days. Guess you’ll just have to come see for yourself! Mica dragonfly book with handmade Spanish moss paper by Susanne Martin, my handpainted papers, old print of dragonflies, mica layers. Wee journals for the small customers.

I am on my second little pot of coffee. I feel the need for extra caffeine today – my energy level has been low all week. The Back Forty has been calling me and I have done as much as I can, which isn’t much. The weather is beautiful this weekend. I pulled up English…
