Well I lost about a month of Wednesdays…but I’m back…yes…it’s Sunday but I started this art piece Wednesday…does that count? The month was filled with magic….teaching and hosting workshops and retreats. I was feeling really tender Wednesday when I started this piece. My mom took a fall and with her Alzheimer’s it makes everything a […]
The Opening of Tribe Wild Women Art Centre – Part 2
Saturday everyone busily worked on their Tribe Wild Women Memory Keepers. We weaved words into the Memory Keepers that reminded us of qualities we want to bring into our lives. We enjoyed lunch outside…the air was a bit crisp and the Gulf breezes and good company feed our souls!! We were suppose to go back […]
The Opening of Tribe Wild Women Art Centre – Part 1
The house is quiet today…the first day in weeks. Our home has been bustling with women…women weaving creativity, emotion, authenticity, friendship and boat loads of love into a newly formed Tribe. The Joy of Collage workshop was in the planning stages for months and Lynn Whipple and I envisioned a nourishing retreat for women to […]
Collage Life Lessons Wednesday – Week 7
Wow…where does the time go…it’s Saturday not Wednesday…oops. My lesson a couple of weeks ago was to finish art that I started years ago. I began CLLW working on just that…but then “art” had a mind of it’s own. I had orange paint left over and I didn’t want to waste paint. A couple of […]
Collage Life Lessons Wednesday – Week 6
Well last week my revelation was that I didn’t need to start new art…I needed to complete the work longing to be finished and given a new home…it deserves to come out of paper bags and drawers. My intention was to work on unfinished art this week but I am teaching a class in a […]
Collage Life Lesson’s Wednesday – Week 5
Life is full as always. Much of my life has been spent fixing up homes and galleries…painting, decorating and attempting to organize. And I feel like I’ve been attempting to organize much of my life. Before marriage and a child I lived rather sparely. As I look back at that time there was clearly one […]
Collage Life Lessons Wednesday – Week 4
Well it’s Friday…I had to travel and didn’t get back until Wednesday thus the delay…life happens…lol. First I played around with some Gelli prints…tried them on parchment paper and wasn’t wowed. I was tired and not feeling the creative juices flowing. I made five prints and was going into the house to play around with […]
Collage Life Lesson’s Wednesday – Week 3
Don’t they say if you do something for 3 weeks it’s a habit…does doing something once a week for three weeks constitute a habit…I sure hope so. What did I learn this week…well…I knew when I started this commitment I’d be leaving tomorrow for Tallahassee. I started projecting all the things I had to do […]
Collage Life Lesson’s Wednesday – Week 2
So it’s my second week of Collage Life Lesson’s Wednesday. As Wednesday approached I found myself excited that I was making art time…no matter what. I decided to play with my Gelli plate that has been in it’s original box since I purchased it months ago for a class with Dina Wakley. I started out […]
Off Sugar
It is so awesome to be off sugar for the first time in my life…I ate the “right” sugars…organic maple syrup…coconut vanilla creamer…and had rising cholesterol, osteoporosis and a little too high blood pressure…I say had because I’ve done the Whole30 for about 24 days now (baby cheat and started over…just sayin’)…and it’s amazing how […]
