Solstice approaches. Light yo houses.

Repotting some of my poor neglected houseplants today. They don't get much attention in the summer but I'll certainly appreciate their greeness come January.

Prepping these prints to be stitched! After my residency @fredbotanicgarden this summer I have a great collection of designs to work with over the winter.

So happy this crow made its way to Fredericton. At the @beaverbrook_ag . . . #crowart #tiresculpture

Thanks to Ralph Simpson for handing-me-down this gorgeous, functional dip pen - much better than any ink pen I've used in the past. It's sure going to come in handy with the new ink-making obsession I can feel coming on... #ThankfulThursday

A little insect block print created during my residency. I think that when the group exhibition opens on September 19th, I'll print up a bunch of these to give out. Tried printing it with my handmade charcoal ink (last image). Not nearly as crisp but has its own charm. @fredbotanicgarden

Meanwhile, back at the homestead: Making chive blossom vinegar to add to salad dressing. Thanks for the idea Kings Landing! Look at that colour. #chives #edibleflowers #saladdressing #herbal #pink #curiouskeep

Very pleased with this piece created @fredbotanic garden residency. Handsome flies. Swipe to see the process and the outcome.

I already miss this being my studio. The experience inspires me to get outdoors with my work. Sometimes friendly visitors dropped by from the trees above. @fredbotanicgarden

Some of the many (many MANY) images I took of droplets one morning after a hard rain. These too will become repeat patterns. @fredbotanicgarden

This is my last residency day in the Fredericton Botanic Garden. While here I've had the opportunity to dig my roots down deep into my interests. I've planted seeds of so many ideas, and created with all my faculties. I can't ask for a lot more than that. I had considered doing an artist talk & artwork reveal today, but instead we're planning a group artist talk, likely in the fall, with all the resident artists from the garden. In the meantime, I'll be sharing the work that I've created on here, and you can still pop in to see the work in person for one more day! @fredbotanicgarden

Why doesn't my husband ever take me on flowertop dates? Looks dreamy. ;) I've caught so many insects in the act while I've been here at @fredbotanicgarden, and they all do it much more gracefully than us humans. These artfully patterned, miniature flies (hoverflies I think) are some of my fav new bug friends. Look really close, they are everywhere.

Went trucking around in the creek @fredbotanicgarden. Swipe to see my discoveries! #doratheexplorer ;)

More leaves in repeat. This one colourized. Swipe to see the leaf it was made from. I'm really excited to get these digitally printed on silk.
