    Success in a big book of fail

    journalI was about to chuck this book in the trash. Every time I made a journal page in this book, it was simply awful. It seemed as if the book was stealing my mojo.

    This was a last ditch effort for the book. If I wasn’t happy today…it was going away in a really permanent fashion.

    I think I’ll keep it around, at least for the time being.

    Mixed media canvas peek

    canvas peek1

    I don’t know if I’m at liberty to show the poem on the canvas yet….hence the partial photo with words blurred.

    My friend Sandy entered a poetry contest and won! Her poem is going to be published. She asked me if I’d do an art piece with her words.

    The funny thing is that I had started this canvas became “stuck” at a certain point. I felt that it needed words.

    Low and behold…the words fell into my lap.  After the words, I added a couple of collage pieces from an old children’s book I saved from the trash heap.

    I hope she loves it as much as I do…

    UPDATE:  She does love it!

    Here’s a photo of the whole canvas

    Crazy Spring

    Saturday, we had sleet…briefly…but sleet, none the less.

    Yesterday, I had my plants sunning on the deck in 50°F temps.20130512_1970

    Just take a peek at the forecast for today and tomorrow!

    I had the furnace on yesterday…looks like the A/C will be running tomorrow.

    Never know what you’re going to get here in good old MN.
