First Snow...

Welcome to sunny Northern California! First snow of the season last night, and it is very cold. This taken out the window of my office room today- shot one, the view during a break in the storm, and shot 2 is the second wave lurking on the mountain tops waiting to come in. *sigh*.

A Brand New Adventure

I have been busy- very busy. Was working a regular job to pay bills until I ran outta there screaming. yuch. So now I am on an art break of sorts, because I am somewhat blocked on large paintings. I have about 40 paintings piled up that are about two-thirds finished, and I can't seem to finish them.
SO, I am making jewelry again, and it has been a while. I am currently making pendants and other jewelry- alot of it. Will be listing them on Etsy before the weekend. I am loving it! So easy to finish, so easy to know when I am done. I will put up a widget for my Etsy store when I get these things listed for anyone who wants to check it out. I promise to try to post here at least once a week- I have more time now!

Photos above show: Top photo- variety of pendants finished, have not attached bails yet. All hand painted or stamped or even collaged.
Second photo- 2 more of the same.
Third photo- works in progress- the circle is about 1&1/2 inches- little squares are scrabble tile size at less than an inch. Chunky square in photo 2 is 1 inch square and will have dangle beads when done.
Photo 4- finished pendant in black and white.

Please forgive the blurry no-detail having scans- I am still having a horrible time figuring out how to get good close ups with dig cam.

Whats new?

I have to pass on to you Jane Devin's blog, Which includes a little item called WTF Fridays. Way to go Jane! I love it. Also, I have encouraged you all to check out Linda Woods page before, and I'm doing it again. These 2 Arty Bloggers are the greatest- You will laugh your ass off. GO THERE NOW! I am putting permanent links to both in the link hall of fame- right column.

UPDATE: Sadly, for whatever strange reason god only knows, the woman has deleted her archives and wtf fridays do not really exist anymore. I hate it when ppl do that. Stop deleting people!

Almost lost my way...

And while he was talking, I was thinking- "if you are looking for steady, predictable, perfect, submissive, you are shopping in the wrong store baby. This is the hot, smart, fascinating and incredibly amazing risk-taking woman store." JEEEEEEZZZZZ. Life is way too short not to live loud, spending all your time trying to avoid danger and risk. Screw that. Never surrender.

I'm a lurker...

I am still here, just dealing with a bunch of drama and illness. I am takin a little break- be back soon with a ton more art and crazy stuff...very unhappy with the photos of my paintings, gotta get that figured out soon!Finally got letters from Wes- I can't stand how much I miss him. He took my smile with him I think. That's him on the right.
