THE STUDIO OF NICOLE MERKENS

 I am so excited to announce that my Tarot Card Designs are available on Tee Public Link = https://www.teepublic.com/user/artgirl253?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SfAsRAUXsys  So while I continue to design my ultimate tarot deck - my designs live an alter ego life as T-shirts, totes, phone cases, stickers, pillows, tapestries, etc. It's so satisfying to see my work in a new format and I keep all the rights to my work. It's funny, this outlet reaches a new audience and is giving the work a rebirth.  Check it out.

These cold days have me wishing for sun and happier times. This colorful wreath is made from my kids old toys , some dollar store finds and hot pink silk flowers. It makes everyone who knocks on my door smile. Ive turned to making things that lift my spirits and hanging them up or wearing them around my home.  Lots of people are depressed and this is how I am keeping sane. Here's to warmer days when we can all hug!
