4 feet

mmmm, I seemed to have uploaded my feet twice in my last post. Slightly silly to post that picture once, but twice!!!!!!???????? Not good. I don't know how to void...so both pictures remain...here is the all done wall!!! Mmmmm, procrastination...if only one could make a living at it!!

Procrastination

Yup, I'm still here, on my computer, 2 cups of coffee later and some sever procrastination.....here are some more owl pictures.. they seem a touch grainy...I'll have to check the setting on my camera..yup more procrastination! The scene of framing frustration, my feet on the very high dining table (I don't typically stand on the table) And the "all done" wall..35 done...mmmmmm, I think perhaps another coffee and then time to hit the studio!

Dream Man

I have a dream. Of a man. Who will love me dearly. And make me frames............. I have wood glue under my finger nails.....making frames is not my love. What I do love is the finished product, looking at it and knowing that I did that...including those blasted frame..lol!! And although I know that it would be hard to reliquish my power....I would do it..in the name of love...(and frame building!) The big felt crisis has been averted for a moment....I found a meter of red felt..on sale..yahoo!!!! I bought it all, it wont last forever and then felt crisis will resume...will deal with that then (again!) The new crafting situation are fairy wings...fake flowers. Every old person (I am sure there are a few exceptions) have fake flower's in there homes..there are old people on the island, fake flowers in there living rooms...were did they buy them? The elderly are hording them...give them up people, I need wings!!!!

Felt

Good Morning Jodi, nope didn't think the first message creepy, although the second had a twinge of stalker to it!!!! Good Morning to everyone else! I haven't written about the felt crisis because frankly I thought someplace on this island I would be able to find cheep felt to back my art. Nope. I have found the scary synthetic felt at the dollar store, I have found expensive industerial grade black felt at the "everything" store. I have gone to the "craft" store....nope, nope and nope! If I had a mission statement for my art (I don't) it would state that I am recycling, using found objects, using items that would be deemed to small or irregular or not good enough to use. I am using these unwanted things to make something wonderful. Soooooooo, I am off to do just that.....I am making this art thing up as I go, nobody has told me I have to use felt to back my art, so why am I hung up on this detail? I am going to find something that isnt typically used for such a purpose..something cheep...I am putting on my think outside the box hat...here I go, off to downtown to solve my problem.

owls+2

Owls

5 little owl pictures....good morning!

Summer begins

May long weekend...it is important to note that I have included pictures of myself wearing a scarf, 2 pairs of socks beneath my winter boots, leg warmers and 2 sweaters. At some point summer will arrive...I hope!!! The family...have I explained this? My sister , her husband and son live on the Island..my parents are hear for the first part of the summer to look after my nephew...the whole family has desended on the island...we havent all lived in the same place for 16 years....We all went to the North end of the island for Harbor day celebrations. I have included pictures of the parade....funny and fantastic and a good reminder that the whole island has a population of 4500. A fisherman race in which dead fish were tossed into a bucket....I laughed a lot!!!!! And pictures of the harbor..wonderful! Also indroducing my sister, holding my coffee so I could take pictures,,,,,good woman!!! Happy Queen day everyone!!!!

Nature adventure

My day started without drama, normally, without anything dead, no voles or mice or birds.....I felted a lion, I saw a dear, took a picture, relished in the wonderfulness of nature....and then......the rat!!!! Dead... beside my bed..huge...I freaked out..fully drama queen freak out. I am now at my sister's. I showed up with my tooth brush, computer camera and Roxy. My bed is a peice of foam on the floor...I am on rat level........I am out!!! Tomorrow I am bording up the cat door..no more nature in the house....that is it....because I am absolutly not O.K. with rats....I got gross shivers all down my spine!!

Walk into town: Part one

O.K. people here is my walk into town. Next time I am there I will take photo's of that, thus the 'part one'. The pictures start with Roxy sticking her head out the cat door...poor darling can't quite make the journey, and I am not strong enough to carry her home! Then the dirt road leading up to the house, or down depending on what direction you are heading!!!! Then interesting things along the way, also alot of road pic's because, well, I'm walking down the road. Finally the town. Part two will be more town in depth....come walk with me people!!!

Food and Owls...

Here are the newest owls to join the "owl wall", The wall is filling..exciting! Groceries on Island are expensive, as one would expect being out in the middle of the ocean. What I did not realize was the insanity of those prices.....Today I spent $50 at the store, here is a picture of what I purchased. It makes me a bit sad that that money was spent on tuna and dried fruit, I think I would have felt better if I had come home with a wicked pair of pants.....
