Gold Foil Embellished QWN Bees

If you’ve seen us at a show anytime in the last yearish, you may have caught a glimpse of one of our striking special edition silver and gold foil embellished QWN Bees in a fancy antique frame (unless it’d already sold, she sells almost every time and we only bring one) but I’ve finally convinced Mike that we should sell limited edition silver and gold foil embellished PRINTS of her. We’re asked at every show.

Ocho Años y Cinco de Mayo

We got married cinco de mayo at the Denver courthouse (no witnesses needed); a very impromptu decision after discovering the week before that my health insurance at my new job would charge me extra to add him as a “domestic partner” instead of a spouse. (Super romantic!)I couldn’t tell you everything I was feeling in the moments proceeding the birth of my daughter because there were so many: love, awe, fear, humility, joy…

Guillotines

What radicalized me? My father’s last request of me before taking his own life in 1998 and the 16 years before that I spent as his daughter. Sorry I haven’t made this happen, dad.

Thank you

We didn’t want this year to slip by without taking a minute to let you all know how incredibly grateful we are for our family, friends and supporters who have all helped to sustain us throughout this year, our first year as fully self-employed artists and business owners, which has been anything but easy.

The Parisian and tattoos

I don’t think I waited long past my 18th birthday when I got my first tattoo. And I was so eager I didn’t even care what it was. I remember going to the shop and picking something off their wall. And it was a small mediocre fairy I got on my lower stomach.

The human + animal bond

The day after Christmas of 2017 I had to put my kitty, Blue to sleep. He was in kidney failure and had gone downhill fast the week prior. A quick trip to my vet confirmed he was nearing the end and it was time. So I scheduled a vet to come to my place the day after Christmas the following week so he could pass in the comfort of his own home. I couldn’t get through that call without bawling.

Basic human decency stuff

I’m grateful these are the only two real tasteless interactions we’ve had with customers in the last 3+ years since starting this business. And I don’t prefer to perpetuate or amplify such ridiculous negativity, but I am just so amused by these two experiences and am reminded that humans never fail to surprise the hell out of me with their award-winning audacity.

Femina Luna

About a month ago my daughter was painting with watercolors and painted a moon with flowers growing out of it (with a little help from me on the moon). When I saw it, one of my first thoughts was, ohh, I wanna create my own version of this.

Divorce and Break-Ups

10.5 years ago I ended a 7 year marriage/14 year relationship. It was one of the hardest and scariest things I have ever done and even though deep down in my soul I knew it was something I had to do, I still doubted myself every step of the way and it completely ripped me apart. I cried many tears and my heart broke for both of us. I think this is one of those things that you assume is very black and white until you’re in it. This shit is really hard and is accompanied by a very specific kind of grief.
