dream in color
Written on February 1, 2010
Today I am very happy to announce that my webpage has finally been updated!
It has been years! I am so relieved to have it done and it couldn’t have been done
without the help of my very best friend who helped build it and made it incredibly easy to update. So delays on future updates won’t be an issue. (♥ to you dear friend!)
There are some more sections coming (one will be devoted to my paper doll prints for instance) but for now everything is in it’s place.
To celebrate, I have decided to do something very, very rare… I am going to give away this small painting:
To Spangled Earth
gouache, 3×5 inches
To have your name included in the drawing, you must write a detail from a dream you’ve had (sentence or small paragraph) as a comment.
I will assign numbers (in order) to each entry and pick the winner with a random number generator this coming Friday (the 5th of Feb.)
***
Another announcement today is for my new shop.
There you will be able to find some of my original pieces & rare or limited edition prints & paper doll sets.
My etsy shop will continue to exist!

In my dream I was sipping tea out of china cups wearing a forties tea dress in a garden and then the very next instant I’m paddling a canoe trying to rescue and drowning cowboy. I was successful, of course!
had a pretty frantic dream about assigned papers, obama, and the proposed reuniting families act. Trying to get my southern hemisphere kiwi sugardish to america, and my own writing standing in the way. terrible terrible
Your website looks fabulous! I finally got around to updating my blog layout (but very minimally) the other day, too. Must be the season. The very first dream that I can remember, was a bunch of wild animals staring at me from a jungle. It was really scary!
When I was little I had a recurring dream that I was hovering above myself watching me sleep. I could control how high I floated with my breath. I loved that dream!
Love your website and your work.
I dreamed that I lived in an old victorian house with an army of rabbits guarding me in the moonlight.
your new website looks great! and super functional to boot.
i am very excited about this give away!
i very often have celebrity guest stars in my dreams, and they are almost always devoid of structure. i love it when i can remember little details about where they took place and the textures of the landscape (i have very vivid dreams at times… so real, that sometimes after waking, i have trouble deciphering if they actually happened or not. there’s always some tell tale detail that makes me realise it was only a dream). i have so many dream memories, it’s hard to pick just one!
this one is from about ten years ago, but i can still vividly remember it! i dreamt that i was flying over some rolling irish hillside, next to the ocean. i can remember exactly how the air felt slightly heavy with rain, and how the grass was so green it was almost fluorescent, and how the sky was the palest shade of grey like flying through a cloud. i flew over one hill and a flock of flamingos flew up into the air just beneath me and flew for a while until they turned away over another hill.
Oooo… let me give you my worst nightmare: I dreamed that I was back in my childhood home, wearing my footie pajamas and trying to hide a dead body. The body was an exact copy of myself (not really a copy, actually, it was me at the same time) and I was trying to shove it into a big basket in my closet…
When I was kid, I would have a reoccurring nightmare that I would get when I had a fever. It was very simple - I was looking into a mirror, that would suddenly shatter and the pieces would fly everywhere. I have no idea why, but it TERRIFIED me. I haven’t had this dream in probably fifteen years.
Fever dreams are the worst!
I really wanted to share a happy dream, but I couldn’t remember any. I think I had one recently about cupcakes though…
Beautiful new website! That’s something that I desperately need to get cracking on as well.
Lets see…when I was young, I used to have lots of reoccurring nightmares involving tornados. I would hear warning sirens and would run around to all my neighbors homes to try and save them from the inevitable doom looming nearby. Seeing the dark tornado coming closer and closer was always so terrifying! What’s really weird though, is that I’ve always lived in the Northwest…where tornados don’t really exist…at all. Ah, the psychology of dreams!
Love the new website! I dreamt I was at a long banquet table and was feasting on white chocolate covered apples. A penguin was sitting next to me and we were chatting about the ice dancers Torvill and Dean. I have absolutely no explanation for this dream.
I wrote down my dream and here is part of it:I have escaped the government building and am invisible and can fly. I am with a friend and when I grabbed her hand she became invisible too. We are flying over a new apartment complex that is almost finish being built.
i dreamed i was at a convention, and they were selling ‘lady’ hotdogs, but it was actually black pudding, and the hotdog seller didn’t know it was made of blood.
looks lovely!
a really weird dream i had the other night - i dreamt that my partner cheated on me with my mum, and that my partner was my auntie (my mum’s sister). it was so disturbing and i can’t stop thinking about it! also a few weeks ago i dreamt i was going around a museum that was just loads of my family’s possessions in nice glass display boxes. books, childhood toys, old furniture - all with annotated notes in nice fonts.
i love the new website! ♥
Lovely new website! I love your sketches they are very beautiful!
Errrrmmmm…dreams, hum…this is one I was mentioning in my blog the other day.
I was working in my studio and decided to take a break. Went unpstairs, boiled the kettle, put a bag of camomile tea in a spotty cath kidston mug, poured the boiling water in the mug. I went back downstairs with my mug of tea and just as I was about to take a sip I realized the tea bag had transformed into a freckled slimy jellyfish that was now happily bobbing up and down in my mug. Weird.
Congrats on the new site & shop!!!
Here’s my comment for the drawing: I’m pregnant right now, so I’ve been having some very vivid, bizarre dreams. Last night part of one of my dreams involved me explaining to my mom in detail how I saw a vampire get her throat slit and how there was so much blood everywhere. (This is the second vampire dream I’ve had… any guesses on what this means for my unborn child?
Congratulations! It looks great!
Once I dreamt I was meeting my grandfather (who’s been dead now for quite some time) as a little boy, and I asked him what my dad was like when he was little, and all he said was, “History is made of people.” It was somehow so moving I woke up crying. So weird!
Lovely!
I once dreamed I had a tripod for legs, like a large camera tripod. I walked by rocking backward and extending the two front legs forward, rocking ahead, and bringing the back one up toward them.
I lost my dad when I was 9.
Broke my heart. And more than 20 years after, it still hurts.
One night, I must have been 10 or so, I dreamt that he was back, that the whole thing was only a dream … That felt so true.
The worst awakening ever …
I am going to dream of me hanging this little painting of yours in my bedroom, tonight … This will be a very very pretty dream
Best from Paris,

Congrats for your web and your wonderful work. Finishing it is a great success, I understand you about the delay of years….. ;D
My dream: There was a very very little cat, of the size of a thimble, drowning in a pool of milk. I got an spoon and rescued him with it and put him over my hand. I remember the sensation with incredible vividness of having such an small and fragil thing breathing in my palm.
I think is an small detail of a bigger dream, but I think it impacted me more so I just remember this.
I have a recurring dream that i am climbing a staircase in a highrise building. As soon as i am nearing the top of the building the staircase turns into a slide. I slide all the way down the staircase at a high rate of speed and wake up before i reach the bottom.
I dream i have an artist compound next to a lake on top of a mountain with vast gardens, waterfalls, pools with artist creating all around me or just enjoying the nature and tranquity.
The Garden is flooded by colors and seductive scents from flowers & herbs perfuming the air.
The trees shimmer with glass wind chimes by the hundreds that chime in whispers.
Forest animals are not afraid and will play and cuddle with the artist.
Fruit Trees, Berries and Vegetables are everywhere to be enjoyed warmed by the sun.
Can’t you hear the birds and insects singing..
After I moved to my current apartment had a dream twice where I look out my bedroom window and see the small mountain a few miles away exploding and becoming a volcano. It’s funny because I later found out that the mountain actually is an extinct volcano.
Hope Im not too late…….dream detail……I dreamt last night that I was walking very quickly along the footpath, I was carrying my cat in my arms and had another one wrapped around the the bun in my hair.
my favourite dream: (is long…)
i think we were all archaeologists – and we were in a small cave underground. i can’t remember how we got in there because the only way out was a big square chimney high up in the roof and no way of getting up to it. we worked out that a priest and his followers used to conduct a ritual here in which the priest would make inscriptions in the wall, releasing a magic into the room which would cause the people to hallucinate. the priest would then rub gold grit/magic into the eyes of his followers and this would make them enter a deeper hallucinatory trance. this was all shown in grainy flashbacks, inter-cut with me and the others pretending to re-enact the ritual. in the middle of the room there was a stone pillar with a small stone circle at the top, like the eye of a needle. one after the other, we jumped up into the air in front of this ring and were sucked through it and transformed into energy and were sucked up the chimney to heaven… i was just turning to energy when the dream ended and i woke up.
i remember these things clearly! (plus i always write them down.)
and your new website is so so good
Hello!
I had a dream last night where I went to a carnival/ theme park/ zoo. I heard the roaring of wild cats, but when I looked it was a cage of performers wearing tiger, panther, and lion costumes. They were standing upright within this round old fashioned lion cage and they were all roaring.
It was a strange one…
