Hello! It's been a while! If you follow me on Twitter, you'd know that I've been without a laptop for a while... But I have it back now and so my whining is over! I really missed the internet and my to do list just kept growing and growing. Yesterday, my sis-in-law Amy and I went out to take some photos of my art and books in the city, in the most nature-full spots we could find (just for fun).
Here's a photo of the Oh Sweet Woods mini book in the industrial wilderness that is my parking lot. Still, I think it looks nice! An update on those, of the 5 special edition versions of the book (with all the nice little extras), 3 have been reserved and I am giving one away (read on for more details)! So there is one left, if you would like all the frills! If you want the no frills version (though I think it's still pretty frilly), I've put 5 up in my etsy shop right here.

(on a radiator in my building)
(key, padlock, get it?)
Oh and this! I've printed the collages from my Language of Flowers set in an accordian fold book, there are 8 colour illustrations in all. It's wrapped with a doily and watercolour tape, with a stamped title. I loved taking pictures of this sitting near/in/on/with flowers, it just seems natural—it being a flower-themed book!
Above is my lovely (and helpful) sister!
There are more and more of these...
I mentioned a giveaway—and it might be sneaky for me to put it all the way at the bottom of this post!
Leave a comment and I will randomly pick one winner on Monday, June 8th. (Make sure to leave your email address!)
Hope your summers are lovely so far!
I love all the creativity used and the detail in this book!

Yes please!
Oh wow! I especially love the "Language of Flowers" one!
They're truly stellar! "Oh Sweet Woods" depicts a really nice contrast with the metal background. Wow!
Keep up the good work!
