Love is in the air…

and I’m in the mood for… framing some art!

LetMeCountTheWays

After having the month of January off (just couldn’t pull my piece together in time due to those pesky holidays!), I’m showing again in February’s Second Saturday show at Vox! Me and an intimate group of 35 artists! And you guessed it – the theme is “love”. I have no idea what I’m going to show.

Love…  I’m so sure

Like,  gag me with a spoon!

The Right Shall Rise Again

No, this has nothing to do with the new senator in Massachusetts. I’m talking about my brain! The right hemisphere has taken over and I am creating like a demon!

Why I have headaches!

As I mentioned, I’m not taking a computer programming class this semester. And apparently dropping that Rails class threw a switch in my brain! Not only has the right hemisphere taken back control of my brain, it erected a wall one night while I was sleeping. The left hemisphere has been shut out. And is in black-out conditions. I can’t even think about programming and websites. Which is a shame because I do have some coding work to do. But everytime I think about it, things get kinda of fuzzy and I suddenly have an idea for an art project! Weird huh? I seem to to be functioning  in a very strict either/or mode. Long gone are the days of thinking in if/else statements. Now I ponder whether the highlights on that stamp should be silver or gold. I like it. And since the creative muse if often fleeting, I’m gonna ride this wave as long as it lasts.

Location, Location, Location

or in this case – context is everything.

These are the headings of an article I am currently reading on the Internet:

Set aside some naked time

Celebrate triumphs

If at first she doesn’t succeed, try, try again

Increase the fun factor

Move into night mode

I don’t think it is necessary that you know what the article is about. It’s better this way. Trust me.

You Gotta Have Art

miles and miles and miles of art…

or at least a couple 6×6 inch tiles!

Mary

I’ve broken out the Mod Podge, stamps, and tissue paper and have been creating. It feels good to get out from behind the camera for awhile and make something with my hands.   ”I cooking.”

Mmm, pudding…

or – Why I’m demanding a DNA test.

Ah yes, I was going to tell you my theory on why I believe Erin was switched with another baby at the hospital. But the proof is in the pudding and a picture is worth a thousand words. Behold:

Domestic Diva
Busy in the kitchen
More coffee Daddy?

She did NOT get that from me! She was all “I cooking” for hours Christmas morning with the sound of those “dancing shoes” clicking on the tiles. I swear I broke out in a rash just watching her!

But maybe these things skip a generation. Because later Christmas evening there was this:

Motherhood is hard

Oh yeah, that’s my girl.
