Changing Room









Whether a 
~ Changing Room ~
is a dressing room in your home or
a fitting room in a boutique ...
there's something sort of intriguing
 about having a space
where we close the door and transform.


Most of you know that
this summer is sort of like a
"Changing Room"
for me, as I'll be moving in just a couple of weeks
to our new historic home.
The property there will afford plenty of
"Change" and "Room"
as the lot is much bigger and has
room for all kinds of play
(badminton, volleyball or croquet, anyone?)
(or maybe you would rather 

lie by the water and feel the breeze? ..)

The house itself has even stepped into its own
kind of "Changing Room,"
with the stripping away
of its old dress (i.e. wallpaper and flooring and more)
and preparation to bring in the pretty.


Even the website and blog
 will  be stepping into a
"Changing Room" this summer ...
with new changes to fit oh-so-perfectly
with my growing illustration career.
And then sometime in the fall,
the website and blog will step out of the
"Changing Room"
dressed in a new ballgown!

Yep, lots of "Changing" going on!

The other reason that I called this post
"Changing Room"
is because I have received several e-mails lately from
fans asking whether or not
the illustration that graces my website
is available as a print and mentioning.
 that they'd like one of their own
to hang in their dressing rooms.
Well, I've heard and the answer is now
YES, for a limited time it is now available!



This illustration entitled
 "Getting Ready" is available as a print.
 Paper Size: 10" x 12"
(the illustration itself is approximately 8" x 10.")
The print is signed and is unframed.
It is shipped flat between two boards for protection.
Price: $20 plus shipping/handling.
