I am almost done with painting my livingroom. I think I have to go buy more paint! I had to put away all my supplies while this was going on since I normally have my area spread out in my livingroom. So, I haven't worked on anything in almost a week! I got rid of my table that I worked on...so this should be interesting when I start up again. I've spent a little time drawing and sketching the past few days. Wow! Am I rusty! I hope to have some interesting pictures or illustrations to share with you in the near future!

PAINTING!

I'm sneaking in some time before I start painting again...I am painting my livingroom! I don't think I have ever painted any of the places that I have lived in before. I am going completely out on my box! RED! Yeah, I am painting it RED! Generally I want Pale Taupe, Pale Sage, Pale Yellow, variations of cream/white...LOL! I am excited! So, that's what will be keeping me busy for the next few days!

Supplies for sale

After taking to several people about all the supplies I had piling up in a box, I decided to put them up for sale on my Etsy site. I figured someone else is sure to make beautiful things with them! Plus, it's just a shame for the supplies to just sit there...lol
Most of the supplies are still in the bags I purchased them in!

Work, work, work!

WOW!
Been really busy lately so I haven't made an entry in a while. Well, minus the worst food poisoning I have ever experienced LAST week! OH! Did I become very friendly with my bathroom floor! My doctor was going to send me to the hospital but I promised to drink fluids!
Ah, but back to the fun stuff.
Been working on Access Hollywood again. It's fun and Shaun is really beautiful so it makes my job easy! LOL!

More of my new Casual bracelets

Violet Passage

Bohemian Nights

Tropicana sets

Been busy working on some casual pieces of jewelry. I came across some beads that I have had for ever and never took the time to use! I figured that a lot of my jewelry is a little on the dressier side and I don't have very much that is more every day...so I created the Tropicana sets. I love the way they look like nuts or beans! LOL! I created a few others with millefiore beads and Swarovski crystal. Powercord is one of my FAVORITE things to string beads on to make casual style bracelets. It's incredibly durable and I like to not have to mess with a clasp. Plus, I am one of those multiple strand kind of gals and this is great for that! All I could think about was running around on some tropical island in a sarong!. Ah, if only...

Photocraft

As Always I love to share some of my FAVORITE ARTIST'S work.

OH!
And YOU MUST look at his "fold and send" items...they are sooo cool!
8"x10" (20.3cm x 25.5cm). Printed on Ultra Premium Presentation paper with a matte finish.

This was taken in south east Oregon on the high desert.

This was shot on black & white negative film. However it was processed using an unusual technique which turns a black and white negative into an entirely new film: MONOTONE-CHROMES (positives, like slides). The sepia color is a part of the development process. No digital color manipulation was used. If you would like more information on the development process go to dr5.com.

For top quality professional prints I use an Epson printer and Epson Ultra Chrome pigment inks. You can be assured that you will receive a beautiful, high quality, archival, professional print.

April Showers

Ah...it's the beginning of April.
Business is slow.
For Everyone!
I suppose it's the perfect time for using up some creative juices...yikes!
LOL!
Have you done your taxes?!
I think between rent and taxes...no one wants to spend any money right now.
It will pick up in time...it always does.
...thank goodness!
