Growing out of a single sheet of junk mail, the promise of summer to come. ☘️🌸🌱🌼🌿🌷🌱🌻 The weather is awful but #seedyourdreams is indoors, at the old Como street car station! Come say “hi” and fold a dream seed!! There is also a plant swap as was well as seed exchange, Master gardeners to talk to, composters and much more.

I’m excited to mail these 4 “postcards” to @oxheartgallery today!! They all combine #printmaking work done during my first 3 months as a co-op member at @mnbookarts with playful #watercolor.

41 ounces. Roughly 1.2 kilogram. That’s the amount of junk mail that found its way to our mail box between 3/22 and 4/22. In an effort to publicize easy ways to reduce that monthly amount, I have been weighing our daily «junk mail delivery », documenting my efforts to opt out and folding everything that was foldable into giant flowers. Here is what it looks like. Beautiful AND appalling. Because #everydayisearthday I will go on opting out and documenting my efforts. Click on the link in my profile for a list of tips to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive. You can also DM me and I will send you a PDF document summing it all up. 🌱Opt out, make a difference!🌼 #environmentalism #art #origami #paper #earthday2019 #junkmail

Dakota. Hmong. Somali. Russian. Arabic. Spanish. English. May the languages spoken in southeastern Anoka county become a source of pride for those who speak them. May they flourish beyond the walls of this wooden box and beyond the walls of the public library where this piece will soon live. #publicart #mixedmedia #origami #recycledart #languages #languagediversity #paperart #minnesota #anokacounty @anokacolibrary

“Klein” blue x coral red x end of winter garden clippings. (Scroll for process!) Working on a whole series of monotype prints on long and skinny scraps of scavenged paper. Waiting for Spring to work its magic outside. I threw the clippings randomly on the ink, hoping to achieve a natural feel. Printed at the coop at @mnbookarts using water based @akuainks #printmaking #monotypeprint #stilllife #mygardeninmarch #seeds #etchingpress #printing

I finally designed and printed the custom origami paper that will be used to record the dreams of @como_community_seed_library gardeners, before being folded into... paper seeds. 🌱🌱🌱 Recycled paper from @frenchpaperco And water soluble @akuainks. Printed at the studios @mnbookarts Playing around formatting on the showcard press was so much fun!! #printmaking #letterpress #origamipaper #socialpractice #seedyourdreams
