    A second look: pondering art journal

    February 2, 2019 - By 

    Today for Second on the 2nd I’d like to share an art journal page from 2015. I decided to re-share this page as the journaling I wrote I still think about to this day. Alternate time lines, time travel, all that mind twisting sci-fi sort of business. It really intrigues me.

    Take a look…

    I started this page at craft club next door. I wasn’t feeling like making cards this time. I prepped the pages with tape down the spine and a thin coat of gesso at home so I’d be ready to play. I brought my gelatos, some pens and baby wipes for my fingers. The baby wipes work really well for both clean up and to get a little moisture on your fingers so the gelato moves more freely.

    The next evening I sat watching TV with the unfinished page on my lap. Something came up about pondering and questioning…or perhaps something else triggered that in my mind. I just started free writing my thoughts. I have always been intrigued with the idea of time travel and parallel universe theories. What if there were an alternate timeline some how…some way?

    If you could take a peek at your life in that time line the branched from a choice you made…would you look? Or would you be afraid to look?

    Thanks for stopping by for Second on the 2nd.

    Not art but a call to action

    February 1, 2019 - By 

    I wouldn’t typically do this but desperate times call for desperate measures. Feel free to leave and come back another day when I will post more art. I completely understand.

    I have a dear friend who is struggling. A few of us got together and with her permission started a Go Fund Me campaign to help get them get back on their feet after one thing after another has seemingly worked again them.

    Thank you for your consideration and I promise next time I post it will be about art!!

    T Tuesday: cold collage edition

    January 28, 2019 - By 

    Hello and welcome to a snowy and cold edition of T stands for Tuesday. We were lucky enough to have a two hour late start for school Monday morning. It still remains to be seen what will happen later this week as the Polar Vortex invades Minnesota. We might end up with a “cold day” instead of a “snow day”….it’s happened before. If it does I’ll have plenty of time to continue making my mini collages. I can’t STOP!!!!

    I honestly can’t stop…I have a quart baggie filled with them already.

    It seems like the more frayed and full of strings the more I love them.

    These ones will work quite nicely for a Christmas theme.

    These are a bit more subdued in color scheme. So fun!!

    I began to write this post before work this morning since we had our two hour late start. Right at the end of the school day we got the news that we are off for at least the next two days!!! They are watching the temps for Thursday as well. I’m so happy!!! The thought of being out in that cold and trying to start my vehicle in -30°F (-34.4°C) temp after it has been sitting out in the -50°F (-45.5°C) wind chills (or lower) made me want to cry. Instead I’ll be home drinking lots of tea….
    while exercising my creativity. 🙂 And probably some Netflix. LOL
