Next Sunday I will be at Apple Day & market with a table full of wonderful things including three new seasonal cards. These ghost cards are also available as 5x7 prints. Sea Cider Farm September 28, 11-4

Orca Ornaments A closer look at some of the hand-painted ornaments I’ll be bringing along to my fall and winter markets. Each one is painted on a live-edge wood slice, about three inches across, making them a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves whales or the ocean.

Banana Slug Magnets With a handful of small wooden rounds and plenty of banana slugs to observe, I painted a collection of magnets. These magnets and more designs will be at markets this fall and winter. If you can't wait, send me a message and we can coordinate a pre-sale, local delivery/pick-up.

Oc-Tote Canvas Bags Measuring 14.5 inches wide by 15.5 inches tall with 8.25-inch straps. Catch them at: Apple Day September 28 | Sea Cider Farm @pcm_collective Crafted Farmhouse Market October 24-25 @craftedfarmhousemarket

The transition from summer to fall is in the air. If the warm weather is trying to fool us, the golden light and scattering of fallen leaves are speaking the truth. I'm admiring the forest mini card sets in shades of yellows and oranges. A perfect match for the months ahead.

Guided by the pull of the tides, jellyfish flow with rhythm and ease. This watercolour jellyfish painting grew from soft washes of ocean tones layered with fine lines. Available as prints, cards and stickers. Find them in the shop anytime. saylormade.etsy.com

With new garden beds, filling open spaces with flower seeds and letting lavender flower, I have a wide variety of pollinators in our yard. A good time to create a larger bee print on my collection of paper stock! If you’d like to shop before it arrives at a market, just send me a message. 🥰

That look. Knowing what’s unsaid. About to enter an epic adventure or cause a delicious raucous. Let’s do it. Building new ornaments from journal notes and sketchbook drawings. A sneak peek 👀 for now.

Intelligent, independent, and creative, octopuses find their way through the world with curiosity. They solve problems, slip through tight spaces, and adapt with ease, reminding us that there is more than one way to approach the challenges we meet. saylormade.etsy.com

Packaging a few sets of mini cards and admiring the prints in the ocean and forest sets. The up-cycled envelopes include maps and encyclopedia pages colour coordinated to suit the card stock. At 3.5 by 2.25 inches, they are just the right size for a short and sweet message.

A purple sea star made its way from watercolour to vinyl sticker. Layers of warm and cool purples, now ready to add west coast colour to your water bottle, laptop, or sketchbook. In stores soon and in the shop next week. Where would you stick yours?

When you find yourself at the ocean, do you pause and hope for a rare whale sighting? I know I do. Available as prints, cards and stickers for those who feel a connection to these gentle giants of our coastal waters. saylormade.etsy.com

Last call Circle stickers are for sale and on sale until the end of June. Grab them before they are no longer available. These laminated stickers are water resistant for use on water bottles and withstand wear and tear on phone cases, laptops, journals and more. saylormade.etsy.com

A cornucopia of slugs! Putting the finishing touches on new slug ornaments. Original artwork from sketchbook ➡️ computer ➡️ machine cutter ➡️ hand-painted in the studio. I love how the green looks and while painting them I had an idea to try some in a bold, bright pink. What do you think?

A happy harbour seal painting for a compilation piece. Safe and content in a banana pose. 🦭

Preparing rounds for scenic ocean and forest images. Wood slices range from one to three inches and will become ornaments, magnets and keychains. Time to get to work!

A couple of shell studies for a compilation piece. Layered watercolours. Warm and cool tones.

Hand-painted orca mother and calf ornaments are nearly ready. Inspired by my new whale painting, each one is lightweight with layered colour and texture. Lovely on their own or as a group. Coming to a market soon or message me to order.

A few new purple sea star paintings, one using masking fluid and the other with gouache. Part of a new project I’m working on. I’ve painted a small group (Called a galaxy. How perfect!) and might incorporate them into something more. Onward! #watercolor #painting #wip #seastar #saylormade

This original poppy watercolour painting was inspired by my deep admiration for the delicate petals of poppies. The loose application of pink and dark purple centre reminded me of the exquisite flowers swaying in the breeze. Available for a limited time. saylormade.etsy.com/listing/4304...

Do you feel happiest when you're near the ocean? Me too. That’s why so many of my art pieces are inspired by the coastlines of Vancouver Island. What’s your favourite beach here?

Staying active(ish) on so many social media platforms is feeling really difficult. I like to spend time making art, reading physical books and growing my garden. NTM, my family time! I get out of it what I put into it and I can see that has been sparse. Anyone else?

I love to garden but in the last few years it has felt more frustrating than rewarding. This year, there has been a physical and perhaps mental shift. A few new garden boxes, an opportunity to try new plants/flowers and a desire to be outside puttering, planting and planning. 💚

Two new cards have arrived! saylormade.etsy.com
