…painting for friday #10…
Friday, November 11th, 2005
Here is my newest painting for friday. I can’t believe that I have done 10 already.
(Although this is painted over #8). I will definitely revisit the wings.
I need a name again (mav) and any feedback it totally welcomed and loved.
I am treating you all like my informal crit group until I form one myself. (hope you don’t mind)
…tricks?…
Thursday, November 10th, 2005
What do you do when you know you should be doing something? Something that you like, something that helps your brain, but you don't do it? Are there tricks to tell your mind? Tricks to convince yourself to make it happen? I love to swim and I just joined the pool near me at work, but dragging myself there is getting hard as it is getting colder and I hate myself when I don't go. But that is really just an excuse. My brain needs the swimming even more than my body. The energy I have is unfathomable. But then when I don't I start to slip into my world of honey. Where my world is a little cloudy and I move slowly. It is comfortable to be in the honey. I sort of hate myself for liking the honey. On a good note I went to the post office and mailed tons of packages. Dad (my dad is reading this!) I finally, finally sent you that logo that you have been asking about for at least a year. I also got out my little guys to Plush Rush and a couple of people are getting the fabric I have listed on flickr!. Remember people it is free. I will send it to you and all you have to do is email me the piece (or pieces) you would like!! Isn't that photo amazing, it is from the wedding I went to in October for my favoritest couple in the city of angels.
…self-portrait tuesday - identity #2…

I had elaborate hair and make-up for this one - with fake eyelashes and thick liner. Blown out lighting and a cute black dress, but I think just the eyes translated how I felt.

Stephen was built to work at the nature preserve and help study the pelicans. All his friends call him steve-o. (he doesn’t always like that)

They heard about the nyc marathon and felt like they should get some fluids into their bodies before headed of to Ohio for Plush Rush. They are a little nervous because they haven’t traveled outside the city, so the tea is also calming them down.
Also if you need any fabric to make stuff, or decorative pillowcases check out some stuff on flickr and I will send you your choices. It is free!
…up for grabs…
Saturday, November 5th, 2005
Every once in awhile we do a painting job for a company that does home furnishings and they clean out shop for each season. That leaves us with bags of pillowcases and other home stuff.
I figured there would be lot of you crafty ladies who could use the stuff I have either as it was made or purely as free fabric. Yes you read it right. This little group is up for grabs. Jus email me what you are interested in and I will mail it off to you. First come first serve. There are about 15 different pieces and I will try and take down the items as they are claimed. Enjoy! The photos are on flickr!
I was wondering around the city today and saw this hotel sign and wondered really who would want to stay there or even better really is that the subliminal way of advertising? (maybe not so subliminal)
…painting for friday #9…
Friday, November 4th, 2005
So I feel like I am turning a corner in my painting. I think this one is a bit too rough, but definitely on the way to what I felt was missing. I can’t believe I didn’t think of using the little sculptures before. I am going to do a sculpture of last weeks painting, so I can work it out and try again.
I would love to get feedback. Thanks.
…bring your pet to blog #6…
Thursday, November 3rd, 2005Trixie was very interested in what was happening in HER bathroom, when I did my spt. But she was respectful of the space until I was done. Then she wanted to see what the hell was going on. I mean there were bubbles to be had. Bubbles and water. Love them together. So here is a post spt, which the Boy took. Right before she leaps up towards me and makes me flinch. Silly girl. Isn't Trixie so pretty though? Look at the great marking on her back and it includes her tail. I love that.
Bring your pet to blog was started by those lovely ladies over at p2p. I think that Johanna should do it. Tell us some stories of the beautiful and very very bad grandpa!
…a pink girl…
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005I was productive over the weekend. I made this new face and realized that I can use the face to help my paintings. I am so excited. (sometimes I surpise myself and not in a good way) I have a 3-d image of my girl. I can work out different positions and placement! I know that isn't terribly exciting but I am rather excited.
I am having a bit of trouble with the last bird bot, but I think I worked it out last night (it better start to behave). I was just too tired and frustrated to finish it up. I should be able to finish it this evening. I have to finish it this evening, what am I talking about. I need to get those little guys in the mail! Then I am going to try and do a bot a week. That should get me caught up with my list and then maybe I'll start selling them? Thank you - thank you for that great response for my spt. Even, the Boy who reads this blog (but doesn't like to comment) made a comment. A comment that our fight was about who was cooler Lindsey Lohan or Hillary Duff! He had me laughing so hard I almost couldn't breathe. The Boy is always making me laugh - his goal is at least once a day - and he does! Thank you - thank you.
