A little something for my friend Cari.  She wanted some seven pointed star fabric, so here we are!  About to order some more Spoonflower samples.

Fabric Palooza!

So, I've been making a ton of fabric!  Check out my lovely Spoonflower shop to peruse!

I am ordering proofs of my newest set, so soon everything should be purchasable.

In progress, more deer, of course.  Hoofprints and more on the way.

Artist Statement

“Never use a Ouija board!” people would warn, always citing some dramatic tale of possession or poltergeist. Growing up, I heard those words more than once from adults or fellow kids. Almost everyone had the standard Hasbro Ouija Board tucked away in an attic, ready to be used at sleepovers or Halloween.

My best friend and I used a Ouija board during our college years, always ending up with stories forged by ghostly letters. We were fueled by curiosity and what would happen next. It didn’t matter if we were subconsciously pushing the planchette or being visited by otherworldly entities. A good time was had by all ? at least, those among the living. The spirits never seemed to complain.

As a tribute to the small adventures carried out in basements and dorm rooms, I made this spirit board. I find deer to be haunting on their own. Historically, they’ve been the messengers of the spirit world, the mounts of the fae, and animals of high significance, so it seemed appropriate to blend the two traditions of the otherworld together.

More Durrs!

Here are some deer for my next fabric!  I think I'll actually drop the background colors and keep it more subtle.

Hoot Hoot!

Burrowing owl, quick colored ACEO.

Prints and other reproductions available on my Society6.

Yote Progress

If you were wondering where those coyotes were going... it's here!

Here's the rough layout.  I need to do a little more work to define the animals.
