FLYING WITH YOU, SISTER MINE...

 one day Carolyn and i spray painted canvas with wild abandon...

 

 

 

 

 the rest of the many family members present,

SMILED and LAUGHED, wondering, were we crazy?

 

 

 

 

 

 were we HAPPY...of course we were...

 

 

 

 that little sassy pants left me behind with her constant encouraging words, like...

FLY!!!

 

 

 

 

 SO ... i did today, i collaged over your spray paint.

but when i am done...your little parts will be peeking through...

making YOUR debut...

 

 

 

PROPERTIES ADDED TODAY:

my own handmade fabric paper, cloth with text, embroidered fabric, burlap, piece of an onion bag, various papers, eg. musical notes, tissue paper, tea bags, own hand embroidered piece, copies of my own art...

WOW, i realize at this moment...so much is going into this piece, it's my whole soul i say...

Wordless Monday...soon now...

CREATIVITY SPARKS

 From my previous post, it was covered up with this...

 

 

 

 

 this is how it reads...

 

 

 

 

 I am always enamored by oak galls and this one is quite a creation...

yesterday, I thought it was a giant snail crossing our patio table, hahha

 

 

 

...and yesterday, I started making a mobile...

JUST BECAUSE...

KISSES FOR YOU

Production Numbers

s0...while a tech guy was here one day...he had to be in my studio in order to work on our computer...so i decided to experiment, fiddling around because it was so boring and uncomfortable just hanging.

I painted a black background and then started a face...

then he asks "what are you doing"

AACK!

well today I finished her face part, the flowers are just placed there to glue and then i'll probably paint over them somewhat, or, i might paint some flowers instead, or i might glue dried flowers in place...can you tell that i just can't decide quite yet? ;)

 

 

 

 today while cleaning up on our back deck...just look at what i happened upon...

 

 

 

 

 i heard this little tapping/clicking noise and turned around to watch this darling, emerge out of it's shell!

 

 

 

 

and then i photoshopped a painting i am doing to make a card.

 

we even had company today for an early dinner, whew...such a long productive day!

 

i'll gratefully lay my head down to sleep tonight with a smile on my face,,,of which i hope something posted here will do for you!

VACATION is around the corner...

 such a HUGE part of my life...my afterschool kiddos...

 

 

 

 

 one more school year and then i'll retire, but keep my fingers in the pot...

 

 

 

 

 they bring such JOY into my life!

 

 

 

 

 unfinished business ;)

 

 

 

 

 the start of the outside of my new 2013 summer journal...

 

 

 

 

 gearing up with funny funny pages, like a cheez-it box...makes for good painterly pages...it's humid in panama...

 

 

 

 

 painted pages to be covered, all slicked up for anything surprising that comes my way...

 

 

 

 

 even a French bread wrapper to doodle or paint on...lots of inspiration, eh?

 

 

 

 

and thank you Ross Store for my inexpensive, cool hippie, breezy clothes!

 

 

HAPPY WEEK FRIENDO'S!!!

OXOXOX
