I’m excited to exhibit my watercolor and ink Sumi-e (Japanese Brushwork) paintings and scrolls in The Clubhouse at Willow Valley Communities.

Pull up a chair and join me in the garden.
The “Native Plants in the Landscape” conference at Millersville University offered a workshop taught by Landscape architect David Hughes. He taught us how to create miniature chairs made with invasive trees and plants gathered from the woods.
I wasn’t speedy enough to complete my chair during the workshop, so I took it home in pieces to finish.

I split long, leathery yucca leaves into long strips and wove them to create the seat. The yucca leaves are flexible and strong.

And now they will have a chair to sit upon. 🙂

One of my wild giant twig bird’s nest purchased by Lulubelle Photography. Here are a few of her VERY special photographs!
I was excited when several years ago, a woman I didn’t know, contacted me about including one of my sketches, Autumn Tree, in a book she was writing. Priscilla Vernier is her name and her book, Notes ‘n Quotes, has just been published.
Congratulations Priscilla!
This awesome book can be read up, down, across, forward and backward!
Priscilla writes:
“Discover The Playful Art…of word symmetry.
Allow….your imagination to freely travel.
Read…. between the lines bouncing across the page.
As Well As….down each page occasionally arriving with more than one message.”
It’s a wonderfully unique book and makes a thoughtful gift.
If you’d like to purchase a book, please contact Priscilla by email at <priscillaverner@comcast.net> or on her Facebook page.

I recently visited the beautiful Detroit Garden Works. A garden shop of distinction, with beautiful sculpture, wonderful plant combinations and tons of amazing treats for a passionate gardner to drool over.
Here are a few photos from my visit:
These large concrete fruits greet you as you pass through the gate. They would look so cool in my garden!
Below is Deborah’s dog, Milo. Read a post from Deborah’s blog about him here.

So many beautiful antique urns to choose from. Some are French antiques.
Strawberries and grapes – growing together in the same pot.
Me and Milo
I brought one of these cool garden stakes home with me!
Milo again – he’s quite the personality.
I’ll take one of each please

I love how the plants complement each other in this planter.
I even had the opportunity to meet the owner Deborah Silver. The shop lives up to its tagline: Where Passionate Gardeners come to shop!
