Maria went into her studio this morning with a twinkle in her eye, and she came out a few hours later with her first drawing for a pretty wonderful new potholder series, it is called the “I love My Belly” Potholder and she is selling them for $25 plus shipping, details on her blog.

They are not yet for sale, but she usually takes pre-orders ([email protected]).
They clearly were inspired by her belly dancing class, which has inspired a transformation in the way Maria thinks of her body.

The belly dancers will be performing on at our Open House at 1 p.m., Saturday, October 7.

They’ll do three ten-minute sets with a short break in between each set. I suspect this potholder series will be a big hit.
