These prints below were inspired by Gustav Stickley's wonderful Craftsman Magazine covers from the early 1900s.
They were usually nature studies, printed in two colors with black and always on brown craft paper.


August, 1912 edition of 50, 2006 - $45 image 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" on recycled, acid free, brown textured paper	September, 1915 edition of 50, 2006 - $45 image 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" on recycled, acid free, brown textured paper

These two prints were taken directly from Craftsman Magazine covers. They are so representative of Summer and Fall that I wanted to find a cover with a Winter scene to add to them.
When I couldn't find one that worked for me, I noticed my flowering crab apple laden with snow and made an original design. For Spring, the snowdrops are also from my original design.

This print of the log house at Craftsman Farms was made in 2000. Stickley Home Craftsman Farms The image was from 1991 when there was still a small roof over the kitchen door. I now live in Western New York but I have many ties to New Jersey. I was born and raised in Kearny and went to Craftsman Farms when it belonged to the Farneys. My uncle, Merrill Harvey was the artist whose image of the house is still on the letterhead and the newsletter of the Foundation. At one time he and my Aunt Dot rented one of the cottages that are near the house. I visited them there as a small child and I credit that for the special feeling that get whenever I go to an Arts and Crafts site. I'm sure that is why I was so drawn to the Roycroft after we moved to this area. The new print will be quite different. It will be an interior view - probably of the newly restored girl's girls bedroom. It will also feature flowers - probably some of Gus' Roses.
