Musings...

Have to add that I'm noticing that my "art" is exploring new edges. I tend to like formulaic items and symmetry in my own art but admire "pushing the boundaries" in others. I'm looking at the mixed media techniques as my opportunity to think outside the box. Some outcomes will be "less than desirable" but no less a success than the inspired pieces.

New adventures await...

In August, the CREATE Retreat by Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine will take place in the Chicagoland area. Check out the website www.clothpaperscissors.com and click on CREATE Retreat. Yes we're already registered.

Challenge 1 - Status

Progress is...slow. Both Sue and I were distracted by our day jobs and other life occurances and slowed us down. This weekend (4th of July holiday in the USA) is our deadline. I've taken two weeks off the "day job" to regroup, rest, tinker, sleep, cook (made biscuits from scratch this morning -- hadn't done that before), journal, sew, gather things for good will, clean our storage unit, create, garden, and general catch up with my friends. Not in that order, of course.

Lunch has been scheduled with several of them and my massage today was an excellent start to it all. (Pedicure is later this week).

I'll write more later....
