Just thought I’d give a sneak peek at what I’m working on.
I haven’t done any painting for quite some time.
There are lots of layers on this canvas…I just keep painting over the old with gesso and starting over. Talk about getting my money’s worth out of this canvas!
I was cleaning off my craft area this morning and found this page I had completed last week. I never took a picture because the glue was drying then I forgot all about it.
I used all my scraps and abandoned ideas from our family Christmas letter. The star on the left is one of my digital kaleidoscopes that I had printed then very carefully cut out.
This second page I whipped together and it kind of shows…
It was just scraps I had laying around. I wanted to make something just to prove to myself that I hadn’t completely lost it. Not a fantastic piece but this is just my “playtime” altered book anyway.
I’ve been in a major art slump. I decorated the house with seasonal decor but that’s as close to artsy as I’ve gotten these days.
I’ve got a lot on my plate…medical issues with both my son and my father. This is just a really crappy time of year for this sort of thing to happen. Not that anytime of year is good but it’s hard to be excited and happy when everything around you seems to be going down hill.
I’m playing around with different backgrounds for my blog as well as colors. So if you come by and it is completely whacked…I’m likely working on it. Try back later and
I’m doing my best to create a custom background in Adobe Photoshop. With no training whatsoever it’s a challenge.
I am thankful for:
I haven’t been able to be creative since we did some rearranging of furniture through the house. We call it the grand rotation of the crap. We never seem to get rid of any, it just moves to another room of the house.
I had to clean off the desk that went to the family room for the kids to work at…hence, the big pile on my workstation and chair and floor….
The light colored piece in the lower right is an old TV stand that was in DH office for lack of a better place. It should provide me more storage in the long run as soon as I figure out how to utilize it.
Hopefully I can get everything sorted out over the long holiday weekend so I can get back to being creative.
Here’s how it looked the last time I organized.
My friend Elizabeth tagged me yesterday.
I’m supposed to share 6 quirky things about myself, then tag five other friends.
