I'm pleased that Comundo in Lucerne, Switzerland, is using my image to celebrate their anniversary. More about this wonderful organization: www.comundo.org.

A sign of the times....my last regular print client is folding. I'd been a contributor for almost 25 years. Celebration was a marvelous resource and I am sorry to see it go. The editors kindly invited me to choose a few of my favorite covers and write a reflection for the final issue. 

Making something beautiful from repurposed materials: deconstructed old sweaters, leftover bits of yarn. This one is for my daughter. Planning to do more and contemplating getting a loom of my own.

This quote from Dorothy Day, which builds on a line by Dostoyevsky, appears on this necklace by Contemplative Rebellion , along with charm featuring my scratchboard drawing of a woman kneading dough. Of course I had to order one for myself, and I wear it often. Since my daughter modeled for the illustration, it's particularly close to my heart--literally and figuratively! Proceeds benefit homeless women.

My design the 2017 Annual Report for the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association . What a satisfying project, working with Brett Baunton's gorgeous photography and contributing to the important environmental mission of this fine group. Entire publication here . Working with this group is helping me feel more grounded in my new surroundings in northwestern Washington State.

Thank you, David Haas, for your appreciation and support. I am honored to be in such fine company! Check it out here .
