The View ....

from my studio table. Lots of projects in going on over here!

Plastered!

I took Stephanie Lee and Judy Wise's awesome on-line class on plaster. They are coming out with an e-book on the subject if youre sorry you missed the class. (It was truly fabulous).

iCAD: Index Card A Day

I have been following Daisy Yellows iCAD - index card a day summer fun. Her idea is to draw, paint, collage and/or write on one index card every day during the summer. I dont think I have done one everyday since June 15, but I have been doing it. It gets me doing some piece of art frequently... which is the whole point.

I drew this piece with my left hand (and painted it in with my right). There's something very freeing with drawing with your non-dominant hand because you dont expect it to be fabulous!

Bookmaking

I love to make books. I recently found this blog where she is making a book a day. That is way too ambitious for me, but I will try to make one a week. Here are a couple of quick mini ones that I made and will give away as part of my trades at ArtFiberFest next week.

Can Art Change The World?

I LOVE Ted Talks, but this one is utterly amazing!

Play Date

I spent my afternoon playing with paste paper paint (and eating Indian food and drinking tea) with my sweet friend Laura. A really good time was had by all!

An Artful Journey

I just returned from an amazing three day art retreat in Los Gatos.

Happy Valentine's Day!

My mom is an amazing life and art coach! For my birthday she gave me four free coaching sessions. Part of my "homework" is to start blogging again.

I bought this sweet cookie from an adorable young guy (maybe 7 yrs old) who was selling them by our local Trader Joe's. I just couldn't resist.

Have a wonderful, loving day.
