Mural Update #3
Some more progress on the painting over the weekend:
(The middle panel is a little distorted because of the patching of 2 photos together.)

Mural 1 Update
Most of the additional work in the last few days has been in adding detail to the sky. Note the tissue box for scale - Each panel is 44 inches square. I've got a long way to go yet.

Illustration for Oregon League of Conservation Voters Event
Last month I did a bit of illustration work for the Oregon League of Conservation Voters (OLCV) - an organization based in Portland. The invitation design is finished now - and has been sent out, so I can share it! I provided my illustration
with some suggested colors (first pic), and then Kalen Garr from OLCV worked up the final card design/color scheme, etc. I'm very happy with how she incorporated my artwork. The owls will also be appearing in the event program.
The illustration & card are for the OLCV's annual Dinner for the Environment event on April 25th.
This and other illustrations are in the Design section of my website.

Beth Bee Books featured on DIYAlert
There's a blog all about Portland area crafts and crafters called DIY Alert. Diane, who is its creator, asked me to do an interview for it, and voila - here it is: http://www.diyalert.com/node/4455!
Also, the other day - lets see, actually, it was a week ago - a fellow illustrator and Etsyan, Marjorie (aka Marmee Craft) featured my blank recipe book on her blog @ marmeecraft.typepad.com, which was quite nice of her to do.

Mural 1 in progress
It has taken a while to get through the prep. work which included sanding, gesso, & under-drawing, but I have finally begun to make some progress with the Mural #1 (Lewisburg area, looking south). Here's a patched together photo. I can't stand far enough away from the panels to take one picture so I have to correct for some distortion, but this is at least something to look at. Each of the panels in the photo are 44 inches square with two 4 inch spaces separating them.

Blank Recipes Book v. 2.0 is here!
Yes, at long last, I have finally gotten all the pieces together including my fabulous new die-cut tabs. No more sticker sticking (except with the Address Books, that is)! Anyway, it is nice to see this project coming together at long last. The new version of this blank recipe organizer has the fancy tabbed dividers, two-color screen printed covers, and pre-cut everything so I don't have to slave with the box cutter anymore to trim the board. I've grown very tired of doing trim work I know a machine could do in seconds. Yay machines! This is still assembled and the covers printed by yours truly, plus insides printed locally with Portland print shops.

Beth Bee Books @ Crafty Wonderland Sunday, February 10th
I'll be at the February 10th Crafty Wonderland Craft Bazaar at the Doug Fir Lounge (in Portland) selling Beth Bee Books books sharing a table with my pal Meredith of NeverTwice. She'll be selling some felty sorts of things, I believe. Come out to say hello and browse or buy!
Mural Paintings Project
The details have been finalized, and I have begun assembling materials to start on a commission I have received by way of the ArtsCare program of the Corvallis Art Center (ArtCentric) for two large multi-panel paintings for Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. The paintings will be two panoramic landscape scenes - one from north of Corvallis and one from the Alpine area south of the city.
The project will be ongoing through 2008, and the paintings will eventually be hanging in the hospital's Conference Rooms A & B after remodeling/ construction is completed. I'll post updates and pictures occasionally through the year, so check back!
