This is a collection of short art-pieces I did using fortune cookie messages and used stamps. I created one page every morning before going to work.

The book itself was a useful way of learning a better way to assemble future books. Most important lesson – keep everything in chapters for as long as possible. Don’t work with it as one big document.

4 x 6 index card art, December 2015

It is customary that the woman of the house not work for the time while the candles are burning at Chanukah. I decided to make art during this time. I’ve enjoyed these little quick art projects in the past but have not made time for them since I was working on editing and formatting my third book. I’m glad I made time to do these during this time. It forced me to sit still and play.
