Cure for Artist's Block

Play.......Play every day.......creative ideas are all connected......once you put action behind your ideas they begin to multiply like bunnies.....one idea, a bit of inspiration, leads to the next, then the next.....before you know it you will find yourself always with pen and paper in reach to keep track of your ideas....

Give thanks, and give it often, for the inspiration, creativity,the talents and gifts you have been given .....whether it be to God, the universe, or whatever name you give it.....give thanks.

T'Ao 22 as taken from the True Colors book

the woman of t'ao
------------------
holds oneness in her heart, ------
and her world is at peace.
------------
does not try to please, -------------
and therefore shines. ---------------
does not seek attention,--------------
and therefore excels. ------------
does not justify herself, -------------
and is therefore trusted. -----------
does not imitate others, ---------
and is therefore herself. -----------
does not compete, ----------------
and therefore-------------------------
no one in the world
can surpass her.

Bits and pieces of me

I am the mom of 3, wife of 1, keeper of the dust bunnies and I am a self taught multi media artist.

Everyday images in my life inspire the art I create, which include art jewelry, collage art, decorative paint, altered books, atc's, 4x4's, art dolls, the list goes on and on.

I love getting my hands messy and working with polymer clay, paint, dying papers, fabric and fibers. Beads are a constant source of inspiration, and just holding a few can inspire the creation of wearable art.

I suffer from a terminal case of 'junk gene syndrome' and I
love going for walks, estate and garage sale-ing and adopting
those bits and pieces that no one else has even seemed to notice or wants, or those things that have been thoughtlessly discarded. I have on several occasions yelled 'stop!" while my very supportive and very patient husband has been driving down the road to dumpster dive and retrieve a treasure that was thrown out with yesterday's news.

Found objects, anything vintage and time worn, or just down right old are works of art in themselves, adding these bits and pieces of history just make a piece of art that much more meaningful.

I am a hands on visual girl, I am happiest and at my best when I am learning by doing. I am always looking to work with new materials, ideas, and to learn new techniques.

My hearing impairment has been a blessing and a wonderful gift. I am able to hear enough, but the limitations on the volume anbd ability to understand words made me a keen and enthusiastic oberserver.

I hope you check back often to see what is going on in myh studio and life. Feel free to leave a comment, I would love to know that you were here!
