Tokens of Kindness!

I found the coooooolest thing today! Maybe you have already seen this wonderful idea? I found these at a little shop in Midland, Texas. It is a coin like token that you can pass on to someone else with an act of kindness. The other side has a tracking number so you can track where it goes. ..assuming the person you give it to will also log it in and pass it on and so forth.

It says "follow it's trail" on the back with that number. Mine is AAL449. Then you go to the Kindness Project web site and keep track of where your token ends up. It is just a good cause and I love it.

Read about how this all began in Austin, Texas. You can also buy these tokens on that site. WOW!!! Mine is burning a hole in my pocket. I can't wait to give it away.

Lesley, What a great idea! I'll have to check that out...I love stuff like that. I'm sure already know about this but at Anita Goudeau's store in Midland she has the little silver tokens in the little blue drawstring bags...she has many (crosses, hearts and all with different meanings to pass it along.) They are very affordable...$5.00 I think and make great gifts. Thanks for letting us know about these tokens as well! Hugs, Michelle

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.

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. ...
