Wow...been awhile
Wow it's been awhile since I signed in and added to my journal. I've been pretty busy. Took a little break from painting. Every so often you need to do that. Sometimes you can only spread yourself so thin and it's hard to put everything into your art when you have other things distracting you. Some artists can use their artwork as an escape. I can't seem to do that with painting. Probably the reason my paintings are always upbeat and happy, so everyone tells me. I paint when I am in the mood to express myself in a positive way. When I am not in my best frame of mind I find it better to express my art in other ways. Ways that don't quite consume me like a painting will. So for now, I have been keeping very busy, between my other committments expressing my artistic side in other mediums. I have tried paper mache, which I loved! It was so much fun to get all messy, reminded me of playing in the mud when we were kids. And for my first real piece of paper mache - it wasn't half bad! :) I'll show you here:
everyone thinks they look like Sonny and Cher :) - NOT!
They are far from perfect but I sure learned a lot about paper mache and know I can do better next time. I already have another one started.
I've also been busy sewing once again, making fabric purses. I am a self confessed purse freak so it sure if fun to design your own. I'll post them here when they are completed. Right now there are 3 on the go!!!
Okay I admit, when I am one of these moods I think I display ADD tendencies. My house has projects scattered from one room to another, all in various stages of completion.
I think I might add a section to my website to include some of my other artistic endeavours.
As for the website, I am still trying to get a proper one made. Geocities, just doesn't cut it :(
Okay, enough rambling...spotted a nice piece of fabric in my basket that I think might make a really neat duffel bag.....check back with you later!
