Graphics and multi media are a part of our everyday life from packaging, television, advertisement, and products. I am constantly looking at packaging, taking it all in, driving my husband crazy by looking over all the new products. Let’s face it, some of the beauty products are packaged beautifully.
I love to make graphics, but you have gathered that if you are a follower. It can be anything from flowers, food, objects, people, animals, etc. Over the years, I have quite a large collection. Anything I don’t have, I make by painting, pen & ink, watercolor, or by camera. Then I scan, remove the background, and fix any errors that I see in the original art. Then the fun begins, layers upon layers can be built. Let’s not forget about the ephemera that is available in the public domain to use as a background. Looking for hours on end is my winter hobby. Some antique stores even carry it.
Soon, I will be adding some of these type of graphics and paper to LismorePaperCo I do offer custom orders.
I was asked for this recipe by a neighbor and thought it was the perfect opportunity to get a little creative. Watermelon Salad is one of my favorite summer salads. It’s so flavorful and delicious especially if you let it chill for an hour. Esme sits, waiting for bits of this salad, too! It’s that good 🙂

Hope you have a brilliant Sunday!
Just a reminder don’t miss our 5th Edition of When Fashion and Nature Collide. Mark your calendars, it’s on July 18th!

Oh… I have a watermelon monster in my household. Whenever I start cutting, rather right as I do, my youngest runs to my side to get that first juicy piece. It’s tradition now. She gets the very first bite. 😅😝🍉

I love watermelon and feta salad. Now, I have to give it a try with olive oil. This is such a good idea for a gift to give to a friend. Your recipe card and poster are just awesome, as usual. I wish my kitchen was bigger so I could have this one frame too. I already got four of your artworks in my home.
