This & That

  • The Creative Process

    What an eventful weekend for me. Friday evening and Saturday were filled with errands to one art supply store after another. No, there is nothing wrong with that but I was going to support a friend on her new art endeavor. I was just going along for the ride. Let me tell you, I wasn't even looking at the holiday supplies which were 80% off(you know me, I'm a sucker for Christmas) well at least at the first store. After that well I went crazy. I still haven't found room for all the new stuff in the studio. But I will.

    I started working on my Mother's Day origami star heart class along with figuring out what to do with all the spare glass from said friend above. No clue yet! I had an idea for the clear round ornaments I picked up. I usually teach a pour paint class with them, which I'll be doing July 6th but I have something else in mind and can't wait to see if it will work. 

    Besides all the art I've been working on I cooked for over 5 hours on Sunday. It's another one of my creative outlets. I made some yummy food that will tide us over for a bit and I made it from all the food i had on hand. Crazy, I know. 

    So that was my weekend. How was yours?

    I was inspired today by and essay I was listening to in the car from David Sedaries from his book ‘Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls’. Inspired to what you may ask, to notice my everyday surroundings and jot down things during my day and flush them out in a blog post the next morning.

    Fingers crossed, I will be moving into my new studio space in a month or so.
  • Best Valentine's Ever

    We wanted to make sure they all knew someone was thinking about them. The card making was a blast but hand delivering has touched my soul in a way I never imagined.

    What a great feeling to have a client tell you they want to schedule you to teach a class. It’s even cooler when you set a date. The mind blowing part is when you ask which class they want you to teach and their response is, “I don’t know, but we’ll come up with something.”
