Three Wishes



This is a piece I created in my journal on the way to San Antonio the weekend we attended Cody's graduation. I finally scanned it and gave it a little frame (digitally). It is kind of a happy little piece. I did this with prisma color pencils and some inks. I may have to get some prints of this one. I feel like doing some more pics with the prisma colors soon. I have one in mind. I want to do another version of the "My Soul Glides on Wings". I just really like that one and love that it was inspired by Marc Chagall. So, hopefully I will create something of that nature soon.
Well, I hope everyone out there in blog land is doing great. Remember, conserve gas (prices going up up up) and for heavens sakes DON'T EAT TOMATOES UNLESS YOU GROW THEM YOURSELF!!!!! HEEHEE

What a wonderful journal page!
I love working with colored pencils.
Thanks for the reminder about the tomatoes!
I stupidly bought some "ripened on the vine tomatoes" yesterday at the supermarket and had to throw them out because I am so worried about the salmonella!
Have a great week!

Wonderful journal page! I wish I could draw while I'm in vehicle--even a plane. I get motion sick--isn't that horrible! Plus, I'm usually the one driving across country.

You MUST get prints of there is something special about this. The woman's face causes a real emotional reaction for me, especially knowing when and why it was created.

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. ...
