Groundwork: rooted in beauty

After seeing her gorgeous nature focused pieces, it's no surprise Danna Ray I grew up in a log cabin in the woods of rural South Carolina. As a child, surrounded by forest and lots of crayons, she enjoyed drawing tiny bugs, and tiny plants, and tiny kittens driving trucks . (Danna, you've come a long way from the kittens in the trucks!) Her current work is inspired by exploration, wildness, and the inherent connectedness of all things. These little pieces of imagination can be purchased at www.groundwork.etsy.com.

WARNING: Encroaching Holiday

Well, Christmas is now only 17 days away. Less than three weeks. We were not stressed at all until yesterday. After spending some time with good friends, we realized: holiday stress is contagious. Being the artistic type, we make most of our gifts. How many are already finished you ask? NONE.

And now, a question: Which version of our Christmas print "My Dear Tree" do you prefer, falling leaves or no falling leaves?
