Projects and Updates
It's time for a summer recipe on the blog, so this month features an easy peasy avocado and chickpea sandwich. You can get it here (and you can get the mug - designed by me! - here).I thought it might be fun to show the different stages of a piece, so here is the sketch, the prep for the final, and the finished work of the Mouse Enjoying the Rain, featured above:
And, finally, a few nature photos from a my recent walks in the neighborhood:

Personal Tidbit
I have had a life-long interest in Ancient Egypt. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to see various exhibits, both permanent and traveling. The most impressive display was the traveling King Tut exhibit that came to our area in the fall of 2018. It featured over 500 new artifacts, in addtion to the pieces that had been part of the original collection. My husband and I went for my birthday that year, and I will never forget it.
