It’s gonna be the best year ever! New on Etsy: Fancy-Tailed Goldfish and Umbrellas - 2010 Desk or Wall Calendar - just $9 (and FREE shipping!)

Here’s a peek at some of the art I have up at Inman Perk Coffee until the end of January 2010! They have a lot of brightly colored wall space which I think looks great with my designs! I hope you’re able to stop by in January to check out the show. Inman Perk Coffee is located at 240 North Highland Ave. Ste. H in Atlanta and they are open daily from 7am to 11pm.

So excited about this…I recently received a custom order for a full deck of Flower Cards, which is the Korean/Japanese card game i re-designed this last year. The original intent of my re-design was to print out playable cards, but I never got around to that part!

Since I had already done the designs for my woodblock prints, I just had to re-size and adjust some of them to fit into the 1.75” x 1.75” format. There are 48 different cards in the deck! I think they turned out beautifully, and I had them professionally printed (full color, offset) on 130# cover weight paper that is 100% recycled.

When I was a little girl, my Korean grandmother taught me how to play this game, and I had always admired the cards. In Korea the game is called “Hwa-tu” or “Go Stop” (in Japan, it is called “Hanafuda”).

New artwork for sale! This one is a small version of my 4 Seasons / Seasonal Kimono. It is called “Winter (Frost)” and features a lovely peacock print kimono against a soft ricepaper background, embedded with gold thread. On SALE for just $40 (with free U.S. shipping!)

Hi Friends!

I just wanted to share with you that I will be the featured artist at Inman Perk Coffee (the Inman Park / Intown location) starting on December 15th through the end of January 2010. If you are interested in seeing my work on display, please swing by and check it out! Just around the corner from Little 5 Points, Inman Perk Coffee is located at 240 North Highland Ave. Ste. H in Atlanta and they are open daily from 7am to 11pm.

Inman Perk Coffee is one of my favorite Atlanta coffeeshops where I often bring my laptop to do work. They have free wi-fi and tasty espresso drinks & drip coffee. Sometimes I sit in there for hours. I have always admired their selection of artists, so I was flattered that they chose me for this holiday showing.

I’ll be showcasing some of my larger pieces - some that you may have seen before, as well as a few new pieces!

Thanks so much for your friendship & support. Merry Christmas!
