AUTHOR: Monica Lee TITLE: A New Nest DATE: 8:53 AM ----- BODY:

I added a new section to my website. It is a section called Licensing. This replaces the section that I had with just patterns. I have been spending the last couple weeks designing more of a "product look" to my work which has been great fun and it makes me think through what art I have created a bit more thoroughly. It also made me realize how much fun it would have been to have had a baby girl, ha! This is a stationery set that I created as part of the Neighborhood series.

It also makes me realize I am a homebody at heart. I think airline crew members all end up craving a "nest" after years of traveling. I think it was compounded in me because I was a military brat and we moved so much that I wanted to make a place of my own. In my immediate family we have noticed that we do get a bit restless after nesting in one spot too long. Then we start looking at changing things up a bit, furniture, decor even changing houses...and for my parents, changing cities!! It gets in your blood, ha! I will stick to my own neighborhood and just keep changing the curtains!
