My Book of Lists
2020
OHH… life use to be so much simpler, when I had to go to work and I had a routine…. I have so much to do, no time to be board or have anxiety. Make your own list and keep it going. I have often referred to Dr. Wayne Dyer quote “ If you change the way you look at things, the way you look at things will change “
As you can see I am not “ confined to my home” I now proclaim myself and “ Artist in Residence” take care of you and consider yourself a carrier to keep others safe.
New Alphabet book , watercolored, hand bound.
Read MoreIt’s a new year and what a better start that to resolve to add a few marks to some paper each day.
I have found that doing a journal page each day can be overwhelming and some days well just face it.. you don’t feel like even cracking your journal. I have found by just making some marks each day will spur you on to greater works. The next day you can add to it or not… its your choice , no pressure from me.
Great book to read: Mini Habits by Stephen Guise This book not only give you a insight to make your life a little better, maybe even replacing an old habit but makes it easy to do so. Wonderful read
There is one thing about cats and that they are very independent. When you don't want them someplace that is where they seem to want to be. Today my cat Porter was very much into my photo shoot, It was hard to say "scat" to him when he is so cute an loveable.
I would love to hear your adventures with animals and how they make your work, fun, tolerable or the "Bain of your existence".
Working on some of my old flower pictures... I thought that this was headed in the right direction but i ended up adding more flowers and painting out the background to a nice grey black.
I tried using some chalk and inks to paint in some detail.... I don't know.
Its time to hang it up and think on it.
How many times have you painted over a painting or just started again because it wasn't going anywhere?
I have been working on a fun Quilting card series. I am friends with many quilters and I have been known to sew a quilt or two in my day. The idea of having just fun designs for a specific group has made me energized. It might not sell but I want to do it because....well I want to do it. Taking these 2 designs out of the 9 I have, I thought I would show you my process. These were done with scraps of paper, ink , glue and a little paint. I want to find something creative to write on the front. So I googled " quilting terms". Do you know that quilters have the best terms? Meeting with my friend Rebecca at the local coffee shop we went over the terms and laughed and laughed at the made up stories we could tell from these terms.. take " jelly roll" and "fat quarters" sounds like someone hasn't been working out. " Long Arm". "Stacked", " Prairie points" and that isn't even counting the names quilters have used to identify some of the designs on quilts " Flying Geese " "Drunkards Path" " Log Cabin". I can tell right now I am in for a lot of fun coming up with something great to put on the fronts of these. But.... I might have to keep the smutty ones to myself.
