New Art on Etsy

This is my newest piece! I named it "Herding Cats". I did this piece on a 9.5"X9.5" piece of wood. It is a mixed media creation. I placed it in my Etsy Shop today. It would make a bright and fun piece for any room!

OK, I woke up this morning sore as heck from yesterdays redecorating. My shoulder is very sore on the right side and I'm thinking I exercised that side really good so that my boob on that side is going to be a little bit perkier than the other. So I will have to use the other arm today as much as possible...heehee. My legs and butt are sore from getting up and down from the ladder and I'm tired! Wah Wah! Sob! Now, I can't decide if I've got it in me to get back to it or wait until next weekend and give myself the day off. Hmmmmmmm. We will see.

Meanwhile, the weather was very nice yesterday and it appears as though it will be nice again today. Spring is a time of renewal and refreshing. I have really caught the redecorating bug and I see that many of my personal friends and blog friends are in the same mode. My friend Renea at Pocket full of Prettys inspired me to love all things birdie this year. I created this little arrangement on an antique window turned mirror. I found out that Renea bought this same bird the same day I did. Great minds think alike! The little birdhouse was made by my sweet friend Marisa's husband. He stained it and added little shingles. It is lovely to me. I made the little wooden robins egg and the cup was a present from a couple of coworkers from several years back.

I love this colorful cat piece. Move easily and quietly, use the soreness as an excuse to have lots of "me" time. Hugs.

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. ...
