Belated Valentine

February 28, 2013 cynthia 1 Comment

This year, for the first time ever, I did not celebrate Valentine's Day.... so sad! Marc and I had caught the most horrible flu, it truly knocked us down for over a week. Neither of us had ever been so sick. Needless to say, Valentine's Day came and went. Now that we've recovered I wanted to do a little something fun to mark the holiday... always a good excuse! Yesterday we … [Read more...]

Black Pearl Sings!

May 3, 2012 cynthia 3 Comments

Today I'd like to share a really fun, and quite different, project. I was contacted by Michael Buchino, the graphic designer for Portland Center Stage, to create a poster design for their 2012 season. The play was Black Pearl Sings! A brief synopsis from Michael: In 1935 Texas, Susannah, an academic and song collector for the Library of Congress, visits a high-security prison … [Read more...]

Labor intensive, yes, but I … [Read more...]

Signs of Encouragement

November 16, 2011 cynthia Leave a Comment

It has been quite some time since my last post. It amazes me how quickly time moves on. My life has been busy with work, travel, more work, and the construction of my studio addition! In times like these I find it helpful to make myself "signs of encouragement".... little handmade signs to comfort and motivate me through the chaos. Just the process of sitting down and making … [Read more...]

Happy Bastille Day!

July 14, 2011 cynthia Leave a Comment

I've grown to love July 14th, Bastille Day, as it is such a magical night at Chez Panisse Restaurant. Over the years I have created many Bastille Day menus for Chez Panisse, the above 2002 menu was my first. At Chez Panisse, Bastille Day is also a celebration of the garlic harvest. The decorations that can be found all around the restaurant are breathtaking... beautiful garlic … [Read more...]
