I’ve been steaming leaves in handmade paper signatures for a book I’m making. They make the best prints in combination with metal.
Outside of Deep Roots Market. Guess which one is mine.

Went to the Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market for the first time in weeks, bought salad greens from Pat and Brian Bush at Handance Farms.
This is pretty much a constant at our house these days. A paper bag is a popular cat toy.

Stitching on my animal scroll for the farm vessel project during lunch.

What I do to pay the bills. I love my job. I hope that our current legislature won’t take it away from me.
On campus.

Picked up some quinces from my long absent next-door neighbor’s yard today.
I’ve been collecting leaves just about every day, focusing on different varieties of oak leaves. Today I found some nice speckled sweet gum leaves outside the vet’s office. Leaf printing is on the schedule for the end of the week.

Another favorite maple tree on my walk to work – it will turn a brilliant red before it drops its leaves, and they are great for printing on cloth.
So nice to relax and hang out with the boys, who are blissfully unaware of their appointment to be “snipped” tomorrow.

Japanese maple leaves on the wet sidewalk outside my building at work.
Winding down my ceramics glazing with lots of buttons.

Augghhhh! Proofread your posters before printing!
I had lots of time to stitch on my animal scroll on the train ride home because of several long delays.

Sandy’s 61st birthday.
Yes, we got photos of the giant panda, but this old orangutan cuddling up to the window captured my heart. I liked that the orangutans could travel high above the crowds from one building to another. See my Flickr page for more zoo photos.
A detail from a huge Fleming tapestry at the National Gallery of Art. “The Procession to Calvary,” 1530/1550. Too bad the weavers never got credit for these incredible works of art.
