Checking in, but not quite finished…

Yesterday and today, I’ve gotten no art done, but I’m feeling quite accomplished, as I focus on organizing my space. I was very clear about what needed to go and didn’t need to go. Yesterday, after I reorganized and prioritized where things go on the shelves, I took some time to finally put up some [...]

Some cards and ATCs

I found my muse. I think she’s been stuck under the stickers I’m trying to sort through… No matter, I dug her out of the rubble…
This weekend I played with Color Mists from Outside The Margins. I received them from a friend in a secret sister swap. (Thanks Christy!) I think they were just what [...]

Time flies - update; Manic Monday reminder;

Well, my apologies to everyone for not getting back to you with scans of the collages my friends have done with my collage sheets. Things have been a bit nutty in our house. We had guests this weekend until to Tuesday. And I had a dental cleaning Tuesday that took a lot longer than I [...]

Laptop protection; collage sheets; Manic Monday announcement!

Hi there!

Oh, I’m a Klutz

Yes, I really am. And I cannot believe that this has not happened before. What is “this”? Well, it’s spilling the water canister where my brushes soak after I use them. I spilled blue/green water all over the floor and carpet in the studio. And yet, I just had to laugh. It is not going [...]

Best Laid Plans… And The Tag

Happy New Year! And Art Goals!

It’s 2007. I’m amazed at how quickly time passes when you don’t have to produce an entire magazine each month. I have been allowing myself to become completely consumed by my health, my art, and in finding out what is important to me. For me, that means that 2006 was a good year. Yes, this [...]

Better day, Studio Friday and Sneak Peek!

Today I woke up with energy and I felt much better. Thanks to all of you who sent me well-wishes. It means a lot!
Studio Friday’s topic is Comfort and so I thought that with all the health stuff going on this week, I should share my “comfy chair” (left). It’s a chair I [...]
