CreativeTherapy and Trip Preparations

Yesterday the latest of the CreativeTherpy Catalysts was published. I participated, so stop over there to take a look at my response to this week’s catalyst, if you haven’t already! It felt so good to draw again and to pick up the watercolor pencils! I’m trying to work ahead on some other catalysts so I [...]

Every Day in May #8

Today I didn’t have much time for drawing. I went to meet Angie for coffee this morning. She’s getting ready to leave on vacation for a week and we were both in need of a visit! Then I had a meeting with a woman who was interested in seeing the Baha. We met at 10:30 [...]

Prescott, AZ Girls’ Weekend

Late yesterday I returned from a lovely trip with Angie. We went away for our first (of what we expect to be many!) girls’ weekend. Prescott is about 90 miles north of Phoenix. It’s a fairly easy drive and there’s some great views. Before we got on the road, I pulled a bag out of [...]

Health Update

Quick health update: I saw my doctor yesterday at 7 am (yes, that’s “7:00 in the blessed a.m.” as Colonel Potter used to say on M*A*S*H!). My hearing was tested and I was examined. Apparently, my hearing is at one of its best levels. And, well, there’s nothing that they can do for the hyperacusis [...]

Coming out of the fog

Well, dear readers, you have not heard hide nor hair of me for a week now. Why? Well, on Monday I ran several errands. And the problems started when I was getting ready to leave my favorite fabric spot, SAS Fabrics by the Pound for some trims and buttons, I started to have some issues [...]

Sometimes It’s All About Me

I read this quote yesterday in The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron: “Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen to them.” Shakti Gawain And it holds so true. Especially for someone like me, with a chronic illness. Despite the fact that my illness is mostly, thank the Universe, [...]

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. [...]

Procrastination or organization?

As I mentioned in my last post, I received quite a bit of fabric from Angie. As a result, I needed to find space for it in the studio. Since I have been using more fabric it makes sense to add a whole section for it. This, of course, required moving some things that were [...]

Art Every Day

Yesterday my friend Angie came over and we tried to get the soldering iron to work. It didn’t work. I’m going to re-tin the tip later today and if that doesn’t help, I’ll be heading back to the stained glass store tomorrow. I’m bummed, but it will all be OK! (edit: read more below!) So, [...]
