Dinorama!

I made this scene with the help of my grandmother when I was a very little girl. As I remember it she had gathered all her houseplants on the dining room table for watering and I swooped in with my dinos for some make believe. Nicely done little me! :)

Nature shrines.

I finished some new autumn light boxes at the tea shop. They're inspired by more of my childhood collecting; I loved to gather and stash rocks, twigs, shells, feathers, nuts, seed pods and anything else that caught my eye. (My bedroom and school desk were subject to occasional raids by my parents and teachers clearing out moldy, decaying refuse.) I found myself revisiting this old nature fetish and looked for a project to apply it to, the light boxes turned out to be a perfect fit!
