When I begin a painting, I work with no preconceived idea. I start to lay in color on my paper or canvas. As paint and color build the work takes on a life of its own. It is finished only when it ‘feels’ right to me. It is an emotional rather than intellectual process. I prefer intimate size paper/canvas. It gives me the spontaneity to express how I feel in the moment. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have taught at NYU, School of Professional Studies since 1995 as an adjunct associate professor of arts in the Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been obsessed with Irish Moss this summer because of it's tiny daisy like blooms. My mom bought me a pot of it last month at a lovely greenhouse near my parents' home in Lancaster, PA, and I’ve been dying to do something cute with it!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My little one Leon has been getting more into miniatures (no doubt because I show them to him daily ;)), so this was an easy way to enterain him this week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All you need is a pot filled with moss, or any other ‘container friendly’ groundcover. Stick some sweet miniatures on top such as mushrooms or woodland animals. Fairies need a place to rest, so don’t forget a chair or bed for your tiny garden!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don’t forget to mist or water your moss often, and place a glass dome on top of it if you see it needs more moisture in order to thrive.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">This month has been the strangest April in probably all of our lives. There’s a repetition to the days and an underlying sense of fear that makes us all kind of feel blah. On Saturday I walked to the waterfront with my husband and little Moose and was really thrilled and tickled by a lovely tulip surprise.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A lot has happened since I posted our last craft on the Linzer Lane Blog! All of us are now in our homes living a different reality than we ever dreamed possible... my way of dealing with things is to continue to make art daily, and craft with Leon whenever possible.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">If your child is very young, have them use fingers to make tiny ‘confetti’ dots all over the card. If they are a little older use Q-tips or a small paint brush. My mom bought me a colorful acrylic set that worked perfectly, but any non-toxic paint will do.</span></span></div>

I got a precious few hours to craft alone this week, so I made a little something for our door. To make your own Valentines Day Wreath, use the inside of a wooden embroidery hoop as the form. Loop a piece of nice ribbon to the top for hanging. Cut hearts out of felt and hot glue them to the hoop, being sure to alternate colors as you go... Add some extra sparkle with liquid glitter (mine is from OOLY).</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 14px;">**Hi All! Just wanted to share with you all my current plan to re-brand my online shop - with the name of this blog! Stay tuned for the new website coming soon**</span></div>

I've decided, after much thought and soul searching, that going forward the name of my online shop and kids art brand will (soon be!) Linzer Lane. I began Baby Lucas a little over a year ago, while pregnant with our son Leon. The goal was twofold - to offer adorable baby gifts and artwork to families, while working at home so I could care for our new little one full time. This past year I have used every single nap and hour of spare time to create, print, ship and market Baby Lucas. It has been a wonderful experience that has allowed me to continue my career as an artist, all while being assisted daily by my mini co-worker. My initial vision for Baby Lucas was to offer a wide array of gifts for baby (clothing, plush toys, books), but slowly I started in realize that you were mostly looking for something quite simple - darling art prints for your child's space. Not only that, but out of all the many things I was creating, you were most taken with the world of my of my Linzer Lane animal characters. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>

During that time I was enchanted with the lovely way of life there. The beautiful storefronts, immaculate cafes, alpine animals, and ornate holiday rituals. We lived on a street called 'die Linzergasse' - and I started to create characters that lived in an imaginary world inspired by our neighborhood. Ever since we moved back to the US in 2016, I have held and nurtured that experience within my artwork. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 14px;">I have grown to really love this little cast of animals, each with their own unique personality and story, and I hope their adventures will entertain and delight you throughout the year.</span></div>

A few months ago I started to imagine how cute it would be to organize all the 'Linzer Lane' characters I've drawn over the last few years from A - Z. I also thought it might be great timing to release a line of ABC products to coincide with back to school season!</div>

Even though Leon is only 9 months old, his presence daily inspired me greatly as I embarked on this new range of products perfect for moms and teachers alike.</div>

I couldn't wait for Leon to try finger painting out for the first time this summer, so I looked up some ideas online before we dove into the messiness of painting with little hands. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily a brilliant solution popped up on many mom blogs - putting a piece of paper in a ziplock bag, and then sealing it with the paint already inside!<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a genius way to introduce little ones to painting - they get the feel and concept of it, before trying out the 'real' thing.</div>

Ever since our son Leon was born last October, I've been so excited to share my love of crafting and art with him. Since birth he's been interested in books and looking at artwork, but I've been dying for us to do something creative together!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In honor of his grandfather's birthday, I thought it would be sweet for us to make something for him out of salt dough. Leon is 8 months old now, so I thought it would be the perfect time to try a simple project at home...</div>

Once the dough is completely dry, decorate it with acrylic paints to seal the surface.</div>

I gifted these little imprints as they are, but you could also add a hole at the top of each one using a pencil before they dry to make cute ornaments.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">Now that I'm officially a mom, I want to make this holiday season extra magical for Leon - our newborn son. I know he can't exactly take part in the festivities, or he may not even remember this year, but hopefully it will lay the foundation for him to love and enjoy the magic of Christmas.</span></div>

I really wanted to make a gingerbread house for him, but knew that it would have to be super simple, since I'm so short on time between all the feedings and the burpings!. While shopping at Flying Tiger this week, I noticed a gingerbread kit for $5, so I quickly added to my basket. I didn't realize until after I was home, that the kit is only gingerbread, and doesn't come with icing or candy.</div>

Last year I did a little 'hack' and used hot glue instead of royal icing, so I thought - why not do the same this year? All you need to make a quick, whimsical gingerbread house are some bottles of puff paint, hot glue, and old candy from the pantry. It's easy! Here's how I made this one:</div>

Assemble some puff paints (I love these from <a href="https://express.google.com/u/0/product/18053475714449975513_15795184309802342664_7116375" target="_blank">OOLY</a>), a hot glue gun, and some leftover candy or craft accents that you have laying around.

Pipe the puff paint like icing around the windows, doors and roof. Allow all the sides of the gingerbread to dry while lying flat. Hot glue any candy on during this stage as well.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many people have commented over the years that they enjoy my receiving mail from me, because I usually add some sort of 'surprise' confetti inside of the note cards I send.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To make your own, all you need are some small paper punches, and paper. That’s it! Multi colored card stock works best, and making confetti is a great way to use up uneven pieces of scrap paper. </span></div>

Small children might need a little help with the punching part, and you might want to try out paper punches prior to buying them at the craft store to make sure they aren’t too difficult to use. </div>

I haven't posted on this blog for a very long time - for a very good reason! My husband and I have been busy getting ready for the arrival of our first child this November. It's going to be a little boy, and we are so excited!</div>

For almost a decade I've been creating art projects and craft ideas for moms and children. Now my life is about to change in a major way - and I'll be the mom seeking cute and fun activities to entertain my little one. </div>

This September I'll be launching a new online store filled with adorable baby and kids goods called 'Baby Lucas'. I was looking for a way to continue working from home, so that I can spend as much time as possible with my little bunny after he arrives... and the online store seemed like the logical choice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As part of the new website, I'll be posting weekly craft and DIY ideas right here especially for families that have wee ones. So please continue to follow along as I continue to share <b>how to live a cuter life</b>!</div>
