I'm a mixed-media artist (with a soft spot for textiles) living by the ocean on the North Coast of California. Soup!...mmm...a warm, nourishing blend of a variety of ingredients.
Here's my collection of images and links that I find personally inspiring...awesome, beautiful, creativity- provoking....a melange of visual art and craft of all forms.
Occasionally I include my original artwork, but most posts are the work of others and I always do my best to give credit appropriately.
If anyone objects to a post contained in this blog, please contact me and I'll gladly remove it.
Thanks for visiting, and Enjoy!
Here you go: a double page spread of an exclusive Palin article in one of the many TV mags we have over in Blighty. Just click on the individual blocks to read. I had to split it into 4 cos you couldn’t see the text in its complete form.
It’s not available online btw, so I went and bought it so you don’t have to :)

Teresa Franco’s Tips for Shooting Macros on Your Phone
When Teresa’s not studying up for her nursing degree, she’s chasing grasshoppers and fungi to get the best macro photos ever.
We asked her what her favorite apps, lenses, and tips were for getting such great shots & she has so many good recs!
R.I.P Jack. The friendliest, most charming pooch in all of Mendocino.
Furry LOVE, miss him so.
Walking Meditation
Here’s a beautiful poem to set the tone for the labyrinth walk:
Walking Meditation
by Thich Nhat Hanh
Take my hand.
We will walk.
We will only walk.
We will enjoy our walk
without thinking of arriving anywhere.
Walk peacefully.
Walk happily.
Our walk is a peace walk.
Our walk is a happiness walk.
Then we learn
that there is no peace walk;
that peace is the walk;
that there is no happiness walk;
that happiness is the walk.
We walk for ourselves.
We walk for everyone
always hand in hand.
Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom under our feet.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Print on Earth your love and happiness.
Earth will be safe
when we feel in us enough safety.
