Jewelry notes from Jen: “I love jewelry, and it always makes me happy when I wear it! However, to extend the life of any jewelry, I recommend removing it before you go to bed. In your sleep, you could unknowingly put tension on a chain or strand, weakening or even breaking it.”

“IMAGINE” original art by Jen

January 2nd, 2007 by monkeyshinesbeadery

I’ve added “IMAGINE” to my Cafe Press store. I drew it back in 1995 (using pen and colored pencil), but recently reworked it digitally using the Linux GIMP application. Inspired by John Lennon’s song “Imagine,” it reminds me of those colorful tie-dyes of the ’60s… Available on shirts, cards, mugs and more at Cafe Press. The little icon above is only a small portion of the entire image, which includes a fairy, dragon, potion, stars, trees and more. The tote bag is perfect for library books!
