Posted on April 11, 2018 by D. Katie Powell

Posted on April 9, 2018 by D. Katie Powell

Connection

Posted on March 29, 2018 by D. Katie Powell

I’m journalling daily in my Nostalgie with images almost every page… Too personal to publish, as family is still alive. This images was swirling around in my head for days in deep blue. It has something to do with what … Continue reading →

Difficult Mom

Posted on March 12, 2018 by D. Katie Powell

Squirrelly Savitri

Posted on February 23, 2018 by D. Katie Powell

She gets into goofy moods and has her way with my Uggs. When she has had her head in my boots for awhile she looks a bit like she is on drugs… same as with my out-of-the-box wool slippers! Wool … Continue reading →

Posted on February 13, 2018 by D. Katie Powell

My favorite thing to do with the Hahnemuhle’s YouTangleart Tiles it to make notes to leave for Mitchell to find: in his calendar, on his computer, on his toothbrush! They are not built for watercolor, but if I clip the … Continue reading →
