New things at etsy

It’s Friday and I’m so excited to let you all know that i have listed some more of my art in my Etsy Shop. Here’s what you’ll find: This is a mixed media collage using laser copies of hand-decorated papers and various acrylic media on canvas. It is 5″ x 5″ on gallery wrapped canvas. [...]

quick update

I’m still rather weak, but I’m starting to come back to life here. I was actually able to sit in the studio for a few hours this morning and I did some journaling until the exhaustion hit again… I had this picture in my head of a line drawing with text around it. I started [...]

Thursday was a fun day; Friday was recovery, tea-time and art

On Thursday, after I posted, I left to meet Angie for a day of fun. We started off our morning at Starbucks (as usual) and then went to Hancock Fabrics, which was going out of business. Bad news for them. Good news for us! We cleaned out the Sulky threads and found some cool fabric [...]

Journaling in the face of tragedy

Yesterday I was avoiding the television. Once the tragedy started at Virginia Tech, I had to turn it off. I could feel myself falling into deep grief and I have been so good about being positive. I’m not ignoring the tragedy. I feel it deeply. So deeply that I had dreams about it last night. [...]

Lots going on

Tonight is the first night of Passover. We’re not having a Seder tonight, but we are tomorrow, and I’m hosting it and cooking for it. That means lots of cooking, lots of good smells in the house. I just, at 11:30 am started my brisket, which I usually like to start at around 8 am [...]

Bird Fat Book Pages

I have finally finished the pages for the fat book I signed up for late last fall. It is due next week. Nothing like waiting until the last minute for actually putting it together. You may recall that back in this post I had tried to figure out the basic design of the front. Well, [...]

Sharing some photos

I love my MacBook! It has a built in camera and a program called, “Photo Booth” in which I can take photos of myself. Well, I don’t tend to take many photos of myself, but I did get my hair cut yesterday, so I thought I’d take a few shots of my new haircut. I [...]

Inchies not for me and sharing some more art

I made some inchies today. They came out fine, but I found the size too restricting for me. It’s not my style. But here’s what I did with them. I put them in Kathy’s journal, which I have for the Calendar Round Robin I’m doing. I don’t foresee myself doing more inchies – unless they’re [...]

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 [...]

Some works in progress

On some of the blogs I frequent, Wednesday is Works in Progress Wednesday, or WIP Wednesday. So, I’m going to post some of my WIPs today! But, before I do that, I want to thank NancyB, who I traded some collage sheets with this week. She had a one on one swap going so she [...]
