Buttons, Buttons, and More Buttons

I have a huge collection of buttons! I’ll be showing it and making custom buttons at an antique fair on June 1 in Cottage Grove. Stay tuned for more info.

Drip Drop Little Queso Fresco

It may look a bit weird, but this photo is my little bag of pressed curds, hanging there dripping off their last little bit of whey.

Poinsettia

Fancy Poinsettia

This poinsettia, in particular, looks as though it’s been painted already!

Beeswax candle painting

Beeswax Candle Painting

Vineyard Cat

The Regal Vineyard Cat

What a dashing fellow, and possibly a good subject for a future painting. 🙂

Cat tails

Cat Tails

A natural fence of cat tails dividing fields… could be a good inspiration for a painting.

Dehydrator full of basil

Dehydrating Basil

Basil is a prolific herb and also a very preservable one! How to dry it for later use…

Garlic Whistles

Garlic Whistles

What the heck are these weird looking things? Garlic whistles, of course! But what are they good for?

Chocolate covered pretzels

Kitty Crosses sketches

Elekitty, Piggitty, Spidtty

Love Is All

Love is All

If Oregon is known for anything, it’s the towering fir and hemlock trees that cover the mountains and valleys with a shady blanket of forest. If this doesn’t say “state in the Pacific Northwest” then I don’t know what does. 🙂 Free Graphic: shape of Oregon (with trees)

State of Oregon with Beaver icon

Oregon

Someone asked for an outline of the state of Oregon with the blue and gold of the state flag and the beaver icon, the state animal. Here it is, enjoy! Free Graphic: shape of Oregon
