After having so much fun at Pastels on the Plaza in Arcata last year, I decided it’d be fun to make a tradition of it.
Trevor Shirk was my artist again this year and came up with an excellent theme of a koi pond with a water lily.
Our friend Leah Vaughn did the Holly Yashi Jewelry square and Trevor and Leah decided to both do a water theme so our borders could blend and look harmonious. I think that kind of collaboration is so fun!
Here’s my artist, Trevor, and my letterer, Meadow Bell, working on my square:
Leah, seen to the right in the photo above, did a yogi theme with lotus flowers and a purple orangutan doing a yoga pose on a lilypad, for Holly Yashi. Isn’t the blended border cool?
And our finished square, which I’m making into a postcard to send out as a reminder to turn off irrigation as the rains begin…
