1. I made this enormous (about 12 feet long) garland -paper flower and hands, ribbons, tiny bells and acorns- for a beloved friend and mentor that I will forever miss. It was draped in front of her urn. She would call many of her students and colleagues "Beauty." A beauty like none other she was.
2. To be an artist is to believe in life. -Henry Moore
3. Honey pie with peaches, and ricotta cheese from Magpie. The leftovers made a decadent breakfast.
5. Farm flowers
6. Lookie! An advance copy of Unbored arrived from the publisher! I did many, many drawings for this beautiful, rich, fun book! How lucky I am to have worked on such an incredible project with such a talented team of people (some of which are good, old pals from my Boston days). The official release date is October 16th and it is now available for pre-order! So very happy-exciting-proud!
7. In honor of what would have been Grampa's 86th birthday and the 64th wedding anniversary of his marriage to our late Grannie Annie, we attended Mass at St. Bridget's Church in Framingham (where they were married). As I sat in the pew, I could imagine witnessing them standing before us. Above are my sister and nephew in front of the beautiful doors of St. Bridget's.
