Handbag Contest

OK, I have a lot to say but I will try to be brief. I feel like I'm too wordy sometimes. Brief and to the point:
  1. First email this morning was from a lady that noticed my magazine handbag and she thought I might be interested in this Bags To Riches call for art. It is a purse designing contest that benefits a fundraiser for the homeless. I love fundraisers for great causes and I like to design purses. I'm already on it. Here is a link to that call for art. Hey, it's a prize for 1000.00 dollars for Grand Prize. Wouldn't that be great?
  2. I have a total of eight participants in the art supply swap. Thanks to everyone who participated. I'm looking forward to photos of the packages you receive. It would be awsome to share your photos with me so can post them on this blog. Remember that Feb 14th is the deadline to mail your packages. FUN!!! I'm trying to fru fru mine up a bit because I say Renea's package that is going to "Girl Gone Thread Wild". Mine needs some Fru Fru and that's all I'm saying.
  3. I got the Artful Blogging magazine today and I'm in heaven. Wow. It is so much eye candy and insightful words. You gotta get it.
  4. I received the best Valentine today from Renea. It is beautiful and I will pose it for a nice photo-perhaps tomorrow.

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.

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.

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. ...
