I painted this for a friend yesterday….just as a reminder for her. She knows why…

Today’s version of T stands for Tuesday will be short and sweet…hopefully.
I’m continuing my effort to eat a good healthy breakfast in hopes of making better choices throughout the day. Especially now that I’m finally. *knock on wood* better…with the exception of a little cough.
I made a few more of my button pendants…
Now if I’d only get around to listing some in my etsy store. As much as I love creating, I hate the time and effort the listing process takes.
I’ve also been working on painting a set of tiles for Settlers of Catan. Here’s a sneak at the work in progress.
I’m trying really hard to remember to take photos as I go with my phone…there will definitely be more to come.
I haven’t forgotten about art journalling either…

That’s it for today! Time to go shovel. This time I’m determined not to fall. Yikes! My knee is still slightly off colored and that was 2 weeks ago. At least my brain didn’t get scrabbled as well…although I did see stars. ? ? ?
What are you doing today?

My focus as of late has shifted from art journals and papercraft to 3D items such as button stack pendants and of course, all the 3D printed goodies that just keep on coming. As much as this variety feeds my art ADD, I find myself missing paper and mixed-media. I start to second guess myself…will I still be able to create? What if I fall out of practice? Self doubt is an evil thing.
So a few weeks ago I dropped in at one of the bigger libraries in the system and got myself an armload of inspiration. Nope still didn’t do it for me. My altered books, journals and one off paper crafts sat idle. I even enlisted Mini-me to help clean and organize our art space. Notice I said our art space. She is taking 2 art classes this trimester. One required and one elective.
After finishing painting a couple 3D printed models, I had extra paint brown and gold on the palette. Not being wasteful I grabbed a journal and wiped it on to a random page. I guess that was all it took. The simple act of doing and not thinking to much about it.
The page quickly came together. As I went looking for words I found this series that really spoke to what I felt at that moment.
Do you hear or listen to that little voice inside? Is it the evil one or the one that lifts you up? Or do you just try to shut her up with cookies?
