$$$$ vs. Art

In San Diego I found myself at Borders. Yes I did look at both Fiber Arts Mag and Quilting Arts.
--But only for a moment-- My usual excitement just wasn't there. I did say I'd go back in the next week to look some more. I spent the next hour and a half w/my head buried in personal finance books. It's where I am at the moment. However, I have been dreaming of my next piece. All it takes is a small piece of fabric, a brush and some paint. Having neither of those on hand, I'm going to bed. I'll pick this up on the morrow.

Walk the Walk

I made 2 stops on SONYA's annual studio walk. The first was Sankofa Ceramics Collective. Enjoyed their work and the growth of the collective. The second was Deborah Singletary, an artist who makes wonderful assemblages, dolls and.....Love her work. I even bought a piece. Interesting since I left my checkbook home for the simple reason I wasn't going to spend any $.

Nevertheless, the afternoon was great for me. Just needed to be in an art environment. Mmm...Delicious.
Later y'all

Post like Crazy

The challenge is to post everyday for month. Now I came into the game late, but I took it on simply because I want to challenge myself. So here goes: I have been totally defunct in terms of my work. The deal: I have a deadline coming up and I know writing about it engages my mind and my fingers.
