Wonderfully-dampish Monday!
mood: 
cheerful
cheerfulI have a nice cup of brown with cinnamon- so things are good.
I have been keeping busy as best as I can with making things in the studio.
It is so very hard to get back into the swing of things when returning from teaching and travel.
It is as if I have a slow leak in my energy level.
I have a self imposed deadline fast approaching and I begin to create some things for that this week- however I did treat myself (If you will call it that) to making some delicious bezels- last night. Take a peek:
Next I need to think about what I want to add to these- I have an idea...
but it is a secret! I will share more with you soon.
I also made this odd necklace on Saturday night. I created this necklace using old estate-sale necklaces which I took apart and reused. I then hung this lovely deep brass Cicada from the bottom.
I suppose I shall list this on ETSY... It has been a while since I have listed things there...
Finally and most of all- I have to thank Tejae Floyde http://www.tejaesart.blogspot.com/ for our art exchange that we did back in July-
Here is what she made for me:
Look at THAT patina!!! I must say- this was so delightful and SO very Me- right down to that beautiful verdigris!
It is one of those pieces of art that helps me meditate on my purpose in life- when things get too hectic!
Perhaps that is why I needed to bring it to work and place it right below my computer monitor so that all I have to do is look down and smile.
Thank you ever some much Tejae for your talent...
Go see more of Tejae's work on her blog...
She is also teaching these-polymer clay encased heart techniques at Artists Nook in Ft. Collins, CO Saturday October 13, 2007.
A few final things before I return to my office world- post-lunch...
* I am SO surprised with the response I am getting from my heart necklace give away! I am truly flattered~ I had NO IDEA that there were so many of you out there reading!!! I love knowing that you are out there- it is SO nice... I have been reading your replies and I am LOVING your favorite supplies AND artists!!! It is a treat to receive such interesting answers!!! You still have plenty of time to comment too- I am thinking of a very nifty way to share with you the results- which may or may-not include a short video! If I can figure that part out...
* I talked to Terrie from Fleckenstein Gallery this weekend and she really wants me to show some work again. INDEED it has been a while since I have had work on the walls- so I am going to see what I can assemble and bring to her. *She is in the process of moving to Hampden soon! It is going to be a FANTASTIC space! I can't wait to see it~
*Speaking of galleries- ARTSTAR in Philly is such an amazing Gallery- I have had SUCH an overwhelming demand for my prints and drawings! I keep sending them and they keep selling out... I hope I will be able to one day- have a show there... it is such a brilliant space. (Now if I can get some new drawings created!!! Heee!)
* I will be Teaching and Vending my artsy things at Art & Soul just in case you are out there the first week in October.
Okay- I need to get moving... I will chat more with you later!
(thank you again...)
