Img_0581_resizeHi people in blog land - it's going to be a slim week, blogwise - my house is in chaos as DH's 'plastering adventures' have become 'space invaders' taking over the whole house!  I am sure my guests won't mind if everything they sit on, touch, look at is covered in plaster dust!!!  NOT!!! (and EVEN IF they were so polite!  I can't stand it!)  We are down to the wire now with only 10 days to go til the Artistic Journey Art Retreat.....and the butterflies are building......WOW......a house full of artists (I have 4 house guests staying) ONE WHOLE DAY with the fabulous MISTY MAWN and TWO whole days with the amazing NINA BAGLEY............in the middle of all of that, I am hosting a fabulous ART pARTy with a collection of artists going to the ART RETREAT.  I have been packing up lovely kits for the artists coming to my ART pARTy with all sorts of treats & trinkets that I have collected for them...........I am just not getting to too much art for myself just now........ here's a little 'birdy' pic from our renovating......I am making birdy things, but I wasn't thinking of them in terms of the mess they actually make, I just love their chirping & chortling noises......DH Img_0491_resizewas less than impressed. 

BY THE WAY - anyone living in the USA should be aware of a new peice of legislation currently under consideration that is known as 'the Orphan Legislation'.  If it is passed, it is something that would have a big impact on you as an artist......read the post by my art friend Kim Veldt

    GRAB YOURSELF A CUPPA... Coffee_cup

    & have a look around. BELOW is a list of catagories which house archives, each of my previous posts here. Each post is allocated to a catagory as I write it, only 7 remain on the main screen at a time, after that they archive into their assigned catagory as they drop off the main page. So that's the place to click if you'd like to see something in particular. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT EVERYTHING THAT I POST ON THIS SITE IS COPYWRITED. I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN BE INSPIRED BY EXPOSURE TO VARIOUS ARTISTS, BUT PLEASE DO NOT STEAL MY WORK.

    GROWING TOGETHER: I want to 'mentor' creativity in fellow artists, knowing full well that I will grow & evolve in the process, so early 2007 I commenced a new catagory called 'THOUGHTS TO PROVOKE CREATIVITY' I hope that you find this encouraging & I always appreciate your comments & feedback.

    A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I am an interior designer by day, & an artist by night, perpetually playing with paint, paper & interesting imagery. I enjoy lots of art - in various mediums & forms, & am happy to swap a needle for a glue brush at short notice. I am a disabled artist - as I don't draw or paint very well, so I rely a lot on ephemera, found imagery & rubber stamping. (my first love) I was a child bride & had 2 babies in 2 years & a 3rd followed a few years later, so I now find myself at the delicious age of mid 40's with my children grown up, my house to myself, (well, most of the time) & enough money to indulge my artistic passions......quite frankly some days when I am sitting in my art studio looking out the window, it just feels like a little slice of heaven! At the beginning of 2006 the last of our children moved out & DH & I have begun to talk about what 'our plans' might look like. We have extended our home & made lots of adult living space, but lo & behold, we were told by 2 of our 3 children that they were expecting. Well, our two little darlings have arrived......Eleanor Grace (aka Princess 'L') in July 06 & Toby Caleb in Dec 06. Being a 'Nonna' is SOOOO much fun....as someone once said....if I knew being a grandparent was going to be so much fun, I would have been nicer to my kids!!! LOL!! Interests These are a few of my favourite things: ALL THINGS COLOUR, Italy, Art & Architecture, Alice in Wonderland, Pears, GSP's, The West Wing, Hot Rods & I also love the movies....classic fav movie would be Gone with the Wind.....I love Scarlet, she is SUCH a villan.....Modern movies......The Bourne Identity/Supremacy,Swordfish, The Ya-Ya Sisterhood,Life is Beautiful, The Day After Tomorrow
