Mid August already?
As cliche as it sounds, I am going to say it anyway ~ where the heck has this year gone? It will be Halloween before we know it!
Just back from a 4-day weekend cruise aboard the good ship Adios. We did another run to St. Augustine for a little break. Always love that place. For now, here are a couple snaps until I can get an album link up with all my usual artsy-fartsy inspirational pics. I can always find something new to photograph in this charming town, no matter how often I visit.
Here I am spending part of an afternoon playing with my new Tombow Markers. These are the coolest blendable markers and I can’t wait to do more with them when I catch my breath.
There’s a large flag store right in front of the old fort downtown and of course I had to go in to see if any of my flags were there. And viola! my shell flag by Toland!
I also finished All About LuLu by Jonathan Evison. Great book! The writing was just marvelous and I will look forward to his next offering.
Why is it when we are the busiest we suddenly become more inspired to do other things? At least it works that way for me. I’ve got studio work lined up like planes coming into Hartsfield (and keeping them straight seems like just as hard a task sometimes!), yet, I keep coming up with new ideas & avenues I wish to pursue ~ both artistically as well as domestically. I feel a home improvement project coming on… (Captain Hubby is likely reading this and heaving a great put-upon sigh :-)
I have also signed up to attend a 1-day workshop in November with Claudine Hellmuth who is teaching beeswax collage. I have no idea what that is, but I wanna learn!
And I am greatly anticipating my upcoming mid-September three-day art workshop at Squam in New Hampshire. I’ve never done anything quite like this and am vibrating with nervous anticipation & excitement. I never did get to go to camp as a kid….
And I’ve got some other news, but not the time to pull together that post…tomorrow or Thursday ~ I promise!
