Mary Starts a Newsletter!Remember FIZZ? That was the paid subscription newsletter I once snail-mailed to many of you. This website followed, then my Etsy store, and a page on facebook. It’s getting too much for me to maintain all that while trying to write books and make art. So instead, I am making most of my work available on Etsy, and offering a free, “mostly monthly” newsletter. So check out my new comic strip newsletter for November. Please fill out the Opt In Form—I'm not allowed to just send it to everyone on my email list—so I can keep you up on my latest work.

Art Therapy
It was a day of bead-making that lead--by mistake, really--to yesterday's polymer fish.
Polymer Beads 1
Nothing gets me side-tracked faster than a really good sale on art materials. A few days ago I happened on a sale of polymer clay for 87˘ a block instead of the usual two or three bucks. Wow. My supply was low, I had hardly any homemade beads left, so I went bananas.
The next day I found a dozen good quality frames--from quite large to very small--across the street at a garage sale I didn't know about until I saw the crowd waiting outside at 8 a.m., not a usual sight around here. Oh bliss--what could bring more happiness than an art supply bonanza!
So here I am, passionately painting and modeling. Pretty soon I'll have so many beads that I'll be able to enjoy another activity I do to relieve stress: sorting.
