Super Special Project in the Works

For a long time I have wanted to create a sculpture of a young ‘me’ and I’ve finally found the perfect reason to play with papier-mâché… I am bravely planning to submit this (and hopefully more) for an upcoming show in a local gallery this summer. This project is special because it’s a reflection on

I love my Maryland and I hate when we hurt… especially during our birthday week ⛵️🦀🥍🏕️⚾️🏈❤️‍🩹

I didn’t finish the details on this watercolor in time for the first “OH!” of the Orioles’ 2024 season, but I wanted to share my creation today… the composition of the Key Bridge, the Domino Sugars sign, and the skyline is inspired by the photography of Steven Madow, and we love ‘dem birds hon. #SimplyHandmadeInMaryland

Too Many Sad Days… Too Many Tuesday Mornings…

Too much sad on this Tuesday morning… One of the main bridges, on one of the busiest highways, that spans one of the busiest ports, is just gone, and regular people are now gone too. And so many lives will be affected by this truly shocking event. I love my Maryland and I hate when

Bringing a little beauty and words of wisdom to this confusing and divided world.

My heart is sad, and tired, and angry with those in power making all the wrong decisions, and vicious choices, that hurt others and not themselves… this little quote from @ThisThingTheyCallRecovery in a recent post is a helpful guide for me these days 💟 #ThisThingTheyCallRecovery #ConfusingAndDividedWorld #Ceasefire #WordsOfWisdom #MiMuLiLu

Playing hooky from life… For like, the last year.

I’ve never been consistent with posting and blogging, but this year I really lost the gumption… seems like I have been making very little and resting very much. I felt like getting a little messy with art, but since I’ve put off painting the final kitchen chair for a very long time, I think I’ll

Ruffle Strips

Leftover bits from larger projects are something I’m always trying to keep track of and use whenever possible so that nothing goes to waste, but also to play with new ideas. I’ve been wanting to collect old thread spools to make snippet rolls, but a stash of wine corks has filled in nicely. These fun

Indie Week 2022 ~ Day Five: Indie Friday

Colorful, thoughtful, and unique gifts are easier to find with independent creatives and small businesses… shopping local and through online platforms is a great way to support Indie Friday. All day I will be sharing items available to purchase in my Instagram Stories, so check there often or hop straight to the Etsy Shop! Thanks

Indie Week 2022 ~ Day Four: My Shop

Just as in my real life, MiMuLiLu is pretty low-key and definitely not pushy… I try my best to keep up with IG and FB and blog occasionally, but mostly I just like to play with art supplies in my messy workspace. MiMuLiLu sells on Etsy, but I am considering other platforms so I’ll keep
