RAIN...RAIN...GO AWAY!

Christmas is over & the New Year is fast approaching...

I'm very busy with projects that need
to be done for the upcoming
Licensing Show in Las Vegas in June 2011.
I have a 10x10 booth...
that I have to create a whole look for...
so it means lots of creative jam sessions with myself...
Going thru lots of tracing paper, ideas & more ideas.
I'll share some with ya down the road.
The little striped birdie is one of the creatures going with me!

Out snapping pics today...

Looking at it reminds me to take...
RISKS,
ADVENTURES,
& try the untried in my creative work.
I am taking that advice...
my new creative is going to be all those things.
I'm so excited at the prospect of doing something...
NEW,
UNEXPECTED,
& maybe I might even use a paintbrush.

DAUNTLESS!

ps...this is what Captured Quotes look like...
a little piece of art between 2 pieces of plexi,
ribbons,
and charms..
this one is called...
SPUNK!

WORD FOR THE DAY!

Went over to a friends home this afternoon...
spent some time floating around in her pool...
talking about anything & everything~
she is truly one-of-a-kind...a very special woman...
...made me think of this little art piece I did a couple of years ago.
CHEERS to being YOURSELF!
BE ORIGINAL.
HUGS to JUDY!
ps...another little ditty I did...it's a 2"x2" wall hanging.
I call them Captured Quotes!

Is that FALL I hear?

I'm feeling like FALL is in the air...& I've got to say I am so very ready for that.

Today I was thinking of some sunflowers that we saw over the weekend...
& this piece of ART popped into my head.
Playing around with COREL DRAW again...
wish I was more skilled with it, but, alas I am but a NEWBIE with computer art...
but I'm having FUN & isn't that what it should be ALL about!
