Some things will never be

A finished spread in my visual journal

The day goes on when I close my eyes....

So I've not blogged a few days. I've been over with my folks, working on my crochet blanket (pictures to come) and hanging out here. I did sign up for an online class that I'm really excited about though! Here: http://suziblu.ning.com/ (I signed up for stylized portraits and petite dolls). I've been wanting to take this for a while! I ADORE Suzi's big eyed beautiful girls! I can't wait to begin!

Also I ordered a new book from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592535658/ref=oss_product

I can't wait for this either! I love the other book I got on collage, Collage Journey by Jane Davies! It's beautiful. I feel comfortable with Collage, it's art I feel free with, where drawing to me is awkward still and I'm never happy with the results. So, a good week with several treats for myself!

Because I needed a new project…

…like I need a hole in the head!

I’m starting a ripple blanket, crochet project! I’m amazed by how fast crochet goes for blankets and I want to be part of it! I FEEL THE NEED, THE NEED FOR SPEED!

Okay, enough of  that, here’s the yarn:

Completion #1

I signed up for this workshop: using recycled art with Pam Carriker at the free Strathmore altered art journal site. This is my finished page.

I like the way she came out, all in all.

On another topic, here’s what I had for supper last night:

Pan seared strip steak with mustard cream sauce. Ah…low carb!

Art in progress is messy

 

 

A day organizing my office/"art studio”/kitchen area

Oh..it’s also the laundry room! I’m not showing all of it yet, it’s not done yet!

The start of something big:

This is what I keep striving for. The start. The beginning. The edge....of change. I just need a change.
