The garden is shifting, and the garden light is following suit. Fall is around the corner. My garden is an extension of my studio and is always my teacher. Here are the flowers in this post: Trollius chinensis, lady’s mantle or Alchemilla mollis, Achillea millefolium 'Paprika', and an anonymous rose that was given to me by a friend (ids welcome.)⁠

Fini. I dropped in the final details, and my first large scale bird flight painting of the black-chinned hummingbird is off to the @tonyamerica and then to the framer. This is the time of year that the hummingbirds are in a feeding frenzy for the long haul to South America. And their flight patterns reflect that end of the summer adrenalin rush. Top Gun move over.

Stay tuned. The studio has an exciting new collaboration in the works, so I am creating a color palette for new designs. And a garden stroll yielded the inspiration I needed.⁠

When you start a business you are in a constant state of learning. About yourself. About other people. About manufacturing. About the importance of details like presentation and packaging. Until I met our COO Jennifer Roberts, I had no clue what a telescoping box was. Now I am a convert.
Read about how to make a telescoping box from our in-house paper expert Jennifer:
Via Jennifer’s blog post: A telescoping box is simply a two-piece box-- there is a compartment to place your items and a separate lid. It's that simple. And, sure, you can place your gift inside, close the lid and wrap it up. But where's the fun, or the challenge in that? So, this is a tutorial on how to wrap a telescoping box as two separate pieces.
