Back in November I offered to be the first artist to create a window display for our local consignment shop, the Plaid Peacock. I signed up for the month of February thinking that this would give me some time after the holidays to work on my idea. 5 x 11 mock up of my idea.

Observations about nature in the city, gardening, craft, and curiosities. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. A wild rose is a welcome volunteer in my garden. Last year, a mystery rose plant showed up in one of my gardens. As it turns out, my volunteer is a native wild rose, Rosa blanda,. Which may give you a sense of its hardiness. In fact, it is native to nearly all of northeastern North America.

The Number of the Rose. Collage, papers, stickers, acrylic printmaking, photograph. Collage with thread, acrylic printed paper and found photography. Composite with BlueGreen and Birch.
