EBSQ Live

I am so excited because I received an invitation to do a live on-line chat about the Frida Skirt from EBSQ. EBSQ is a great on-line gallery that many artists use to display their work. I just read the email last night and of course I responded right away. I love to teach others how to do different techniques! So, needless to say.....I am honored. Will keep you updated on the details. Meanwhile, here is a link to my on-line gallery at EBSQ.

This is my last weekend for Cody to be here before he is off to college. We are going to take him out to eat tonight for a special-family dinner. I don't know how I will cope with his absence but I imagine it will all work out. I just pray he will be safe and make good decisions and stick to his studies so he can accomplish his dreams. Lately, I have been worrying about how hubby and me are going to cope with so much time together! Last night we were talking about how we need a hobby both of us would enjoy together. Hmmmmm-like my sister and her husband both enjoy antique hunting and gathering. My husband is Mr Sports guy and the pond/landscape guru. Me, well it is all about art and crafts. We both enjoy traveling but that does take a certain amount of $ which we are not real endowed with at this time. So...think, think. Last night he suggested fishing. Hmmmmm-I like it ok but like I told him. We both have obsessive personalities, how can one obsess about fishing? I'm just brainstorming here. Maybe since we both dream of traveling, we could read up and learn and plan and save about our next trip? I think that is a good idea. I will throw that at him when he gets up. Have a happy Saturday!

Ok, Mr. and Mrs. Obsessive personality...how about plan a trip in 5 years to some foreign place and in the meantime study the language and culture. Love you!

Oh I can't wait to see what you end up figuring out together! I've got several more years, but it's seriously an issue isn't it? Right now, he teaches at a local college four evenings a week after work, so we have to keep connecting when we can! Great post, I'll add your Cody to my prayer list. xo

We are going to Seattle first! He said that would be great. So we are going to "obsess" about how we are going to pay for that, what we are going to do and when and all that. I went to Seattle once and so want to share that with him. I loved it!

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.

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.

Found Object Jewelry

First of all I have to say a big thanks to all of you who commented about Cody's departure. I feel like printing all that out and sending it in Cody's first letter. He knows how I am about my blog friends. You are all precious to me and you don't know how much it helps to hear your comforting words. I'm doing better. Just kinda antsy to get our first call. I have paper and pen ready by the phone so we can get his address. They are not allowed to give it until they get there. Enough about that! I have dove into my found object box and started making some found object jewelry. This weekend, I learned how to drill metal, hammer it out if needed and make it have a faux patina. I played for several hours with many pieces like washers, watch parts, and all kinds of things I have found on the ground. Well, most of it I found. My husband finds little treasures for me as do some of my friends. It's funny because when they give me some little metal object they picked up off ...
