Graffiti Love




Funky Art Queen got her groove back!~ I have arted all weekend. I have experienced a wonderfully creative weekend and it has been awsome. I have only finished this one thing but I have several pieces in progress. The title of this blog should be something along the lines of "Funky Art Queen's Multiple Unfinished Projects". Hee Hee but, that is what keeps me going. I love to have several projects. That way, if I get bored with one thing....I can move on to something else. ANYWAYS...
I want to share the lyrics to a song that I love. Rascal Flats....they are a wonderful country/blue grass sounding type group. This is from an older album (not their newest) but every time I hear this....it has a spiritually uplifting effect on me. Read the words and listen to this song if you get the chance.
Lyrics:

Rascal Flatts - Feels Like Today
Woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me that I can't explain
Like a weight that I've carried
Has been carried away, away
But I know something is coming
I don't know what it is But I know it's amazing,
you save me
My time is coming
And I'll find my way out of this longest drought
It feels like today I know it feels like today
I'm sure Its the one thing that's missin
'The one thing I'm wishin' Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today Feels like today
You treat life like a picture
But its not a moment frozen in time
It's not gonna wait Til you make up your mind,
at all So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel
Keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure,
that's my heartache
Soon this dam will break
And it feels like today
I know, it feels like today,
I'm sure its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
The last sacred blessin'
It feels like todayFeels like today
And it feels like todayI know,
it feels like today,
I'm sureIts the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
The last sacred blessin'
It feels like todayFeels like, feels like your life changes
Feels like feels like your life changes
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
The last sacred blessin'
Feels like today
Feels like Feels like your life changes
Feels like
Feels like your life changes
The words don't have as much of an impact if you do not hear the melody of this song. It gets me every time. It feels like today.. it makes me think that today is the day of spiritual awakening...a time of forgiving and forgeting and time to realize that we are so very fortunate!

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. ...
