Just a couple of quick updates.  First, you may remember the series of posts late last month about storytelling through paper crafts and collage.  Well I turned some of the artwork into postcards.  Printed on high quality paper, they are bright and beautiful and I hope images that will make people smile as they pull them out of their mailboxes.  If you’re interested in purchase, just send me a note and I’ll let you know how you can obtain them.

Second, you may remember previous posts about my continuing adventures with a very young friend about colors.  Our most recent discourse revolved around the color white.  She may just be four years old and I … considerably older … but she does gently nudge me to push at colorful boundaries in unexpected ways.  As I wrote about in this post, for her I’ve tried to pull together a sampling of my favorite “white” images.

I’m quite pleased with the result.  I hope she will be too.  If you have an interest in this little magazine, it is available here as a print copy or for download.  Ah, technology.  😉

Between 2006 and 2009, I had the pleasure of working in the vicinity of Edmands Park in Newton, MA.  As a writer (and a bit of a free spirit) I had a certain amount of leeway to get up from my desk to walk out into the nearby woods.  The jaunts were always short but long enough to clear my head and to focus my writing.  And sometimes I was able to carry along my camera and capture just a bit of the beauty that inspired me.  With the help of some friends, I have compiled the images into a lovely little book that I hope you will find enjoyable.  Available in softcover.

Pink has been on my mind of late.  It is not a color I normally wear or buy in any form.  But as I perused my photos as part of creating a new photo book, I noticed that in nature, I am drawn toward the color, from rosy clouds in the sky to pink petals, leaves and blossoms on earth.

Oddly enough, as I researched the color, I learned that Pantone has announced its 2011 Color of the Year as a Honeysuckle Pink.  My pink book is still very much a work in progress.  My goal:  to produce a quality product ready in time for spring open studios.  We’ll see!
