just do it,as they say.

i love this...while browsing the vast collection of letters at

rockpaperscissors,i noticed this subtle message on the shelf

above.a gentle reminder.a nudge.just do it.

oh and just do this....visit paperrocks.etsy.com ,it is the

new online shop for rockpaperscissors unique one of a kind,

lovingly handcrafted items like the popular "kiddybox"(below)

made by craftsman tom kiddy and dressed with delightful rps

paper scraps!

gifts from the earth

walnut ink & twinkling H2O's,most pleasurable art supplies!
these atcs will belong to my rockpaperscissors sisters after
tomorrow nights gathering.

way before & almost after

progress!
we are into our 5th week of the bathroom remodel.and still married.
wallpaper(and drywall in some areas)was somewhat successfully
removed,then damage control came in and patched the mess.
all of the tile finally arrived,new cabinet installed,i see light at the
end of the tunnel......or in the ceiling.
amen.

i've got it bad,and that is good!
you "make" stuff,cool stuff & there it sits.
enter etsy and a world clammoring for "stuff"
not mass produced but made by human hands.
my thanks to rob kalin & co and those who have
gone before me!
when the student is ready the teacher will appear..
i am ready!

teensy etsy...why not?

i have jumped on the etsy bandwagon.
gonna give it a try,see how it goes.
my first offerings are these needle felted flower brooches.
i am really enjoying the process of this technique,choosing
colors and adding embellishments from my vast notions supplies,
well anyway,stop on by,the shop is open 24/7....

"in the spring a youngish girl's fancy....

lightly turns to thoughts of decorating"...

the spring cleaning bug is knockin' at my

winter worn door,once i have been bitten

and polish my dining room sideboard,i

would love to place this beauty by john derian

atop....but alas,it is not in my budget.

say what you mean

sometimes there is just no nice way to say what you mean.
for over the past year i have been holding back the urge to
use fowl words and expressions in my art...what do you
suppose that means AND does anybody else out there feel
that longing? i find it somehow refreshing amidst all the "nice"
art these days.

these folks aren't afraid to let go:

the stanley family

hammerpress

16 sparrows

existence? well,it was...until well meaning
friends,pat,nancy & kay(aka mom) each
shared their simple tricks for this technique
with me. [forever grateful,girls!]
these fatty knots were started on
