making stuff

I have been busy.

It is hard to post...for me...

without pictures. I don't have

much to say....

unless I have something to show.

Here is my, "LOVE" collection.

I think choosing one day out

of the year to show the people

that are important to us, that

we love them...seems wrong.

Vintage paper...

Umber and pale

Pinks and aquas...

love and handmade,

this collection is

a celebration of love

every day.

I used vintage, and or

hand painted the paper for

these paper garlands. Then

stamped dots on them, so

they remind me of mushrooms.

I then strung them with wire and

added beads.

They come in a box.

A hand painted top..tied

with dyed ribbon

and inside more umbered

vintage paper, and it is

nestled in painted striped

japanese silk paper.

I ventured out to the woods

and collected branches and moss.

Arranged in a paper covered clay

pot and wired flowers on.

These are just cute little round metal tags.

Some cute little original watercolor cards.

More mushrooms, with bugs.

A hand painted box ...

(The garland box is like this on the front.)

With a charm to hang.

little framed watercolors

tags...all original art.

Everything is drawn, painted,

coffee stained....

then painted and drawn again.

All can be found at

Hutch Studio

I have some at,

Faded Elegance also.
