Hope everybody had a happy and creepy holloween!!!

I was wishing to go trick or treating with my nieces but I had to work and couldn't call off. Bummer, gees. But I did manage to go to Columbus and go to the "Big Boo" which is always fun. At least to check out everybodies costumes.
I went as a gyspy since well I had all the clothes as is mighty as well play it out.

Ok, so I am having diffuculties uploading anymore photos on blogger. I will post later my personal favorite costume. It was a couple's outfit. And also I'll share who won the costume contest who are now a thousand dollars richer. Yeah, thousdand dollars winning a costume contest. No jokes here!

Well I hope everyone stayed save and had a lot of fun. While our bathroom waste cans are stuff with ol' rags with our howlish or cute masks on them.

I've been looking at Amelia's Magazine for awhile thinking "Now there's a magazine!" (I have developed a big magazine fetish thanks to my mother.) Ever since Fly had mentioned it a while back, I've been keeping my eyes open. And of course there has been such luck in finding it. So I think I'll give in a buy one online. On their web site you can buy the magazine plus this really great tote with a design from Portuguese illustrator Rui Tenreiro;which I would love to see on my shoulder. The proceeds from sales go to The Tree Councils Green Monuments campaign, they protect historical or ecological important trees. Which I find great!

Check it out maybe it will strike your fancy too! Goodnight!

A Child Of My Own

So I saved a poor child by the name of Lucy from the orphanage. We have been inseparable since then.

He he, I’m very pleased with buying my first car all on my own. She’s a 2000 Saturn and really a lot of fun to drive. I’ve actually been very dorkishly happy with my car. Like the excitement with my first car payment and oil change…I don’t think I will always feel that way. But I do know I will always love the independent/freedom feeling that Lucy gives me. I must say I didn’t do too badly.

Me being the baby family there a lot of worries that I’m finally out on the road. So I have a car champion. Mr. Squishy is his name. Yes a jellyfish; its soo me I couldn’t resist on hanging him on my mirror. Thanks for Lacie (http://callmelacie.blogspot.com/) knowing me too well bought Mr. Squishy on vacation. Now the jellyfish and I plan on many trips together; I can't wait!

I keep wondering off. I'll try harder to stay on track.

Let freedom ring!

oh jellies jellies jellies how do I love jellies

I have decided take a swim with these buddies this week by painting several of them.

This one I call freedom as she swims off...

Her measures 6x9 but she'll come matted and ready to fit a 8x10 frame.

Have a beautiful day of swimming my fellow sea serpents

Good afternoon everybody!

Yesterday and today I went to the Ohio Arts panel meetings for their most recent grant giveaway. We are very lucky that there is state funding for artist in Ohio; there are many states that stop doing so. There were different categories 3d, 2d, craft, chorography, music composition, performing arts. We mostly stayed around in the 2d and craft rooms since they related more to us as artist. It’s open to anyone in Ohio excluding students. Almost every type of artist applied, some amazingly talented ones to those that look like they just pulled something together in hopes to win 5,000 to 10,000. The Ohio Arts Council doesn’t give you any restrictions on what to do with you money. So next year around I do believe I’ll apply…why not? It would very helpful whether it is getting the grant or receive some great criticism from some well known artists.
I know the friends that I was with were very thrilled about seeing their teacher (Kelly Malec Kosak) be one of the chosen ones. Although none of the winners are completely official. All of us are excited to see her work thrive, and recognized. I have not taken any jewelry classes while I was attend so I myself never had her as a professor. But I hear many many wonderful things about her. She must made quite a mark on the panel with her pacifiers such as this one

Alright, 5th time around...Or some number like that

So, I really do love this whole blog idea. Problem with me, I just haven't stuck with one. Exploring the blogs of all these wonderfully talented and experienced ladies sorta give me a scare. I find many of them so inspirational and motivating. Plus I'm not as computer suave as most people of my generation. But I'm going to do! Feel free to giggle with me as I experiment what I can do with this blog, and what I can do as a artist still trying to figure myself out. Everything always feel better with laughter.
I have been working on portraits and figure drawings for my Etsy shop. Which isn't actually open but that will change hopefully by next week. I'll post more later to show you my progress.
