After an almost 4-month hiatus, I have finally gotten back to making art. And though it has taken me a week or two to get up the nerve to sit down at my desk and make something for the love of God!, I’m pretty pleased with my first attempt.
Presenting… the Cahaba lily. Blurry photos courtesy […]

There is no correlation between daffodils, long* hair, happiness and 1:00 a.m. except the evidence of all four in the following photos.
I think the dark circles under my eyes are especially telling. Still smiling, though.
Despite what the clock says, that’s almost always what I look/feel like after working on cut paper flowers. And that makes […]

…for an update.
We have successfully moved into the house referenced in the previous post (written nearly 2 months ago…Holy Moses!) And though we have a few remaining items in the old rental house, we are considering ourselves “officially moved.”
We made the move a mere 6 days before Christmas, which is sheer madness, by the way. […]

At long last, I’ve finally posted some new art on Lillybeth!
I know you’ve been waiting with baited breath. (heavy sarcasm)
I have actually had these two completed for quite some time now, but blog-posting (as you may have noticed) gets harder and harder the more I get into actually making art.
Between that, being a SAHM, and […]

The “Monkey” from my “Jungle Faces” series just sold yesterday at Bellini. Here’s a (terrible) photo of it:

After a solid week with no posts, some of you have begun to email/call me with concerns.
Which is completely understandable since prior to about January, I was the Blogging Queen.
Alas, between Walgreens and Lillybeth and family life, I have very little left in me to blog.
Not to say that there haven’t been blog-worthy things […]

Here is a little photo I took of some of my artwork all nicely lined up on the windowsill. When I got the photo CD (no, Nancy, I still don’t use a digital camera!), I noticed that it looked like a little garden.
A paper flower garden.
No water needed, thankfully, or they’d be long dead by […]

No, not the house.
My very first piece(s) of art. I guess that makes me a for-real artist, if only on a limited and self-taught basis. (grin.)
Many thanks to Erin Roney for her believing in me enough to do 4 cut paper flowers for her breakfast nook/kitchen. The impact of her financial support by commissioning my […]

To try and get better pictures for lillybeth.com.
This is one of the better ones, so far.
Hopefully back to blogging tomorrow (which I enjoy), instead of photographing more artwork (which is a labor of love.)

Except it’s different this time.
I’m haven’t been pregnant, at least not with a physical baby.
I’ve been pregnant with art ideas.
Yesterday, those ideas (and the art that expresses them) were birthed into a website and company that together we named “Lillybeth.”
……………………………………………………
Lillybeth is my first creative baby, and I have to say that thus far, it’s been […]
