A Little Mixed Media For Ya

Happy Sunday,
Did you spring forward? Oh the things we could have created in that one hour.

I drew this little lady yesterdays with pens/prisma pencils and added the water soluable oil pastels around the background and just rubbed them in. I added the question mark with a paint marker and digitally added the words on picnik.com. I love quotes like this. I discovered this quote at a car wash place on a sign. Had to use it!

We got to talk to Cody for a long time yesterday. He is a little entrepreneur. Not only is he doing his job in AF....he has been building fences part time for extra money. Anyway, he was in good spirits and it was just so nice and uplifiting to hear from him.

I finished up a lot more clay heart pins and bird pins and I need to package them for the Funky Finds in April. I feel like doing some fabric art or maybe drawing some more today. I'm burned out on clay for the moment. Hope everyone is well and I hope spring is knocking on your door. We all need to go outside and play!

Love your little admiration Queen, Lesley ! I was feeling so springy yesterday when we had a lovely weekend in the 50's here in NH, but this morning we got zapped with 6 inches of that white stuff again !!!! Still, I refuse to head back into hibernation mode - Springing forward in my parka and boots !
Happy Monday !
Love Kim

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. ...
