'Thriving Artist' cups back for a limited time
Due to multiple requests to bring these back after seeing the photo of them in the book, and the fact that I still love this design, I’m taking special orders for you to have one! now through June 8. In fact I think I will be making myself one too.
We also created some pretty summer bundles for you in the shop.
hope you are enjoying your long holiday weekend!

As you know from my work, I love animals. Always have from the time I was little. In fact, I used to keep a growing collection of stuffed animals.What am I saying 'used to'? Plush animals, particularly handmade, still have an appeal as is evidenced by the fact that I {still} have a collection in my studio right now :-)
Growing up as only child, I definitely felt a special connection with the animal world. To this day they provide a sense of calm, peace and groundedness.
One of the things I’ve learned in this life of mine, it is essential to have symbols of hope and reassurance surrounding us every day and especially during times of challenge or great uncertainty.
For all of these reasons, I have become increasingly curious lately, about the symbolism of animals, their meaning, why we are drawn to certain ones and why they appear in our lives when they do. Why they have appeared in my work in the way they do, and so often in white?! So I have decided to create my own interpretation of spirit animal totems. I have started with 3 so far and this {white} rabbit is the first.
I am including qualities and insight known to be associated with each animal in their descriptions. I hope you will enjoy them and be open to the message they are bringing to you at this time; whether it be one of strength, clarity, abundance, focus, truth, possibility or comfort.
