Becoming Spring
Announcement! Announcement!
I am excited. Everyday Mermaid, our poetry art book, is now available online.
The digital landscape brings both a magical luminesce and a closer look at the tactile cut, layered, and stitched fabric art cradling the poems. The book is now available online and as a digital download through a thousand flowers®. The synergy of these different viewing options creates a new exploratory artwork.
This is our way of celebrating April’s National Poetry Month.
