Color of the Week

The color of Spring.

How can anything be wrong in the world when nature puts on this kind of show.

Thankful for...

Time to think about how blessed I am.
So I am thankful for TP,
                              The USPS, that is still operating,
                              and imaginative, talented, people who make wonderful things.

Quote of the Week

"Life's not safe. Your work isn't safe. When you leave the house, it isn't safe. That's why you have to enjoy the moment."  Unknown

National Quilting Day

Quilting is such a wonderful art form; I'm glad that it's recognized with its own day. This is one I found at a holiday house tour. What caught my eye was the great color & the interesting variation on the log cabin design.

Marker Mania

Do I have enough markers/pens?

Of course!

But between Tuesday Morning and the closeout section at Hobby Lobby I can easily be tempted to get more. 

Mixed Media

I worked in mixed media for so many years that is continues to lure me back.
This "Raggedy Journal" idea called to me. I'm always looking for ways to spice up my daily journal keeping. These covers involved tearing assorted papers, Mod Podge and a layer of tissue. Then I added some free motion stitching. A fun way to use the scrap paper that just seems to hang around the studio.

Taking Another Look

Last summer I attended an exhibit of art at the Oklahoma Museum of Art in Oklahoma City. I think it's visually interesting to watch the visitors as they move through the gallery viewing the artwork. I found myself snapping as many pics of people as of the art.

I love how I caught this trio of people intently studying the art. 

I purposely framed this shot to include the visitors in the background, and as an added bonus I got the interesting shadows that the sculptures cast on the floor.
