Greenward Turn: A Faerie Romp

It's published! And it's available for purchase right here on the website, amongst other places.

Greenward Turn combines text and photo-illustration to create a magical modern-day faerie tale. A collaboration between Mary Lounsbury and Blaize D’Angio, the photos were made in Riverside Cemetery in Montford, with the kind participation of the Gnarlicorn faeries, many of whom are local to Asheville. A limited edition artist’s book and a commercially printed paperback version have been created from the work, as well as a variety of prints, notecards and even rubber stamps! Visit the store.

To see some images from the work, visit the Greenward Turn gallery page. You can also view some beautiful black & white images of the faeries at mlounsbury.com

2010 Leaf & Lizard Almanac

The second annual edition of the Leaf and Lizard Almanac is available for purchase. What's it about? It's a journal that tracks the new and full moons and gives you a place to write your intentions in sync with the Moon.

Do you ever get so crazy that you're not sure what day, week or even what season it is? The new and full moons happen about every 2 weeks; and, at the risk of stating the obvious, the moon's real! You can look up in the sky and see that it's there, or not there. So this is an ancient practice of marking time, which truly helps you to stay in tune with the rhythms of nature. The astrological sign and degree of each lunation is included, along with keywords and suggestions based on the signs. Printed on thick felt paper stock that feels good to write on: Add your thoughts, plans, drawings, dreams.... Remember, you can do anything you set your mind to!

Designed and fully illustrated by Mary Lounsbury, the Almanac was printed locally in Asheville by the great folks at On Demand Printing and Design. Purchase it here.
