Circle Journal is HERE!!!

I got my Circle Journey Book in last night. I savored the moment for this morning to open the package. I do that. I like to delay gratification sometimes on stuff like that. Anyway, I love it. The actual book is a little smaller than I anticipated, but the package is full of stickers and envelopes that you use to mail the book to people involved in the circle journey. I have to make an entry and then send it on.
Invitation to Join My Circle Journal-Circle Journey
I want to invite you to participate in my circle journal-journey. My only rules are that if you commit to participate, you will get it back to me or I will hunt you down like a dog! HEEHEE-No Really!!!! Just email me with your address lesleychandler@cox.net and I will consider. Your chances are better if I know you but I will strongly consider new people as well. I just need to have something to determine a trust level like your blog site, your art site, your response to my emails, your ebay rating, etc.

Now, that being said, I can show you my newest piece of art. This is a collage piece inspired by this old picture I have of these two lovely children. Don't they look like little gypsies? I have used these darlings several times and I think that I will retire them now. I feel like they finally have a proper home. This is a highly textured collage piece. Hope You Like!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Laughing Out Loud

I still have some work to do on these paper mache letters. I finally found something to do with all the bits and pieces of things that I keep because they will be perfect for some piece of art.....some day. Today is the day! I really love this piece/grouping. LOL .....a good message don't you think? Go ahead, Laugh Out Loud.....it is very healthy and therapeutic. Today, I bought the soundtrack to Mamamia and I have enjoyed the heck out of it. I really enjoyed that movie. I have discovered that people either love it or hate it. I just think that it is so cool that Meryl Streep totally stepped out of her norm and went for the musical. She did a great job and I can't wait to see it again. It is a great girlfriends and sisters movie. I highly recommend that you go and get it and go to your girlfriends house and watch it and....oh....I don't know......LAUGH OUT LOUD! Let me know if you do and how it goes.

VILLAGE CLAY WORKS Another Artist Interview

I ran across this wonderful and whimsical artist several weeks ago when her work was featured on Etsy. I have enjoyed looking at her work and I know you will too. Meet Catherine Reece from Northern California. She is a creative woman who has been working in clay for over thirteen years. She was kind enough to let me interview her for this blog. Please enjoy. Tell us about who you are, what do you want to say as a statement about you? My name is Catherine Reece and I live in Dublin, California (just east of Oakland). I am married and a mother of two kids. I have been professionally selling my pottery for 8 years. I was waiting for my husband to graduate from design school and find a job while i worked and played with clay. Over a few years I began to build a small business selling my pottery. MY husband didn't find the job of his dreams and so he joined my in the studio as my partner. Now we make our living as artists selling pottery.I think I am still trying to figure that out. ...
