We're deep in the very final stretch of proofreading for our first Taproot issue of 2019, Issue 31::REVIVE! Today, I'm holed up with the laptop, some tea, a pile of cough drops and a tissue box beside me. Achoo! It seems I've caught the funk that's been making its way through the family. But never mind that (I tell myself), because I'm distracted by all the fun and goodness inside the pages.....AND on the cover of the pages! I love that we work with a different cover artist each year - it's been such a pleasure for the past seven years to do that, getting to know each one well and working together through the seasons of a year. I'm always so tickled and surprised when the artist I admire and reach out to says "Yes!" and this year was no exception. We're so happy to be working with Jenny Kiker for our six issues in 2019! You can find more of her beautiful work on Instagram as Living Pattern. Her botanical paintings have stolen my heart and each time I look at that cover, I feel such peace! Do you know the plant? It's a Calathea, often called a Prayer Plant, and look what it does in the evening! How cool is nature?
Alright, back to it. The clock is ticking on this issue! If you'd like to start your subscription with this issue, tonight at midnight is the deadline for making that happen! Bonus! We are giving a complementary calendar to all subscriptions that are made until February 1st! Find all of that info on the Taproot website.
Have a lovely day!
