Short Update on my Shop

Author: lilisokey
I just want to tell you about three new items in my Etsy shop that I just listed a few days ago.

Many of you probably remember the Great Horned Owls, and I also told you here that I created a photo book about this wonderful experience. Well, the photo book is now available in my shop.


But wait, there is more about those owls. I also made a wall calendar for 2012 with photos of the owls:


And for those who prefer the coast and photos of beautiful landscapes I made a 2012 wall calendar about the coastal Pacific Northwest: 


You can see all the pictures of the calendars and a peek in the book in my Etsy shop - where I also offer mixed media paintings, mini journals, photo greeting cards and handmade cards. I'd love to see you there and of course I always appreciate your feedback!

Dreaming of a Cottage on the Sunset Coast

Author: lilisokey
It's Friday and that mains Paint Party Friday! I haven't been there a lot recently, and only a week ago I came back from our trip up the Oregon and Washington coast. But now it definitely is time to join the party again.

I'm still full with all the images of our coastal trip. This was one of my most favorite trips ever and I deeply fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. No wonder that it is a topic in my creative work as well. Here is my newest art journal page, just finished this morning.


I used some patterned paper scraps, book page, cardstock, acrylic paints, two stamps and PITT pens.

I'm also linking this to Studio JRU for Sneak Peek Friday. Please come and visit the other artists as well.

Back from the Sunset Coast

Author: lilisokey

We just returned form our two weeks trip up North on Highway 101 along the Oregon and Washington coast. It was a very relaxing, quiet trip - we didn't have any special plans or destinations that we wanted to reach. When we liked a place we stayed there for a while. There was lots of time for reading, writing and even sketching and painting. It was one of the most beautiful trips I ever had.

We explored fisher ports like this one in Brookings,

saw many lighthouses - this one is Heceta Head,

watched seagulls eating their breakfast,

had super fresh seafood ourselves,

ran at the beach,

sat around the campfire,

explored tide pools and learned that this is an ochre sea star (pisaster ochraceus),

didn't mind the often misty weather of the Pacific Northwest,

visited the rainforest in Olympic National Park and got eaten alive by mosquitoes while camping there,

watched young elk,

got very muddy boots on our hikes and walks,

found treasures on the beach,

flew kites,

discovered the lost whale in the Klamath River on our way back home,

and fell deeply in love with the Pacific Northwest.

Did you go somewhere and fell in love with the place?
