Art and other sparkly things.

Happy Little Feet

Eight weeks ago last Saturday, I had a baby boy. Here are his footprints!
This was his (but let’s be real, *our*) Father’s Day gift to his outstanding dad. It’s mixed media on wood, 8 inches x 8 inches.
Printing the painted feet of an 8-week old (even this good natured one) is messy business. [...]

Merry, YAY! and Happy

How is it already January 11?
And how have I not done a post here for so many weeks?
Christmas Eve seems like it was just last Thursday.  I spent all day at work and then high-tailed it to pick-up Marc’s Christmas present.  I pushed my last-minute shopping luck, and I very nearly didn’t get to pick [...]

Paper Flower

The piece I started last week is coming along. Here are a few photos:
I’m going for the impression that the flower, made of of curled and twisted newsprint, is emerging from the disorganized shreds of paper that surround it.
Once it’s dry and there’s more light, I’ll be able to get some better [...]

Me, Looking at You.

A few months ago, I mentioned we’d be replacing the photos under the “About” tab on my website with some new and improved ones that were a little bit friendlier (and a whole lot better lit).
Marc delved back into the photos while I was painting yesterday. I’m pleased to announce that the [...]

Boo!

Last weekend, I turned another year older. Yay! for birthday celebrations; boo! for another year under the belt. (*sigh*) Family and friends helped distract me from the getting older part and I had a fantastic birthday.  I enjoyed several awesome birthday song renditions, including the musical stylings of dezervision live on my telephone while [...]

Vacation!

I love Spain.
We were there on vacation for ten days! Ten days! You might think that would be long enough, but you would be wrong.
We flew to Madrid, drove to Segovia for two days, then Toledo for two more, and then back to Madrid for the rest of the time. We saw [...]

Crackle Paste and Pleather Scraps

Last Friday, I went to Britex with two of my lovelies. I was in search of some inspiration. I ended up raiding the pleather scrap box. Here’s most of what I bought:

And here are two works I’ve had in progress since last weekend. In the one on the left, I tried [...]

Getting Back To It

“Don’t call it a comeback. I been here for years.” – Mama Said Knock You Out (LL Cool J)
It has been almost a month since the Tiburon Art Festival.  And what do I have to show for it?  Not much, unless you count the November half-marathon I signed up for and the additional [...]

WTF.ORG?

So the “Not So Sparkly” blog entry from Friday, the one where I vowed to write more about everything, including the eponymous not-so-sparkly-stuff, and explained how bummed I was about the Art in Storefronts project … all that … GONE!
I didn’t delete the post, but it is gone. Gone, gone, gone! Where did [...]

Thank You Notes

I went to write thank you notes to the people who bought my paintings this weekend, but my tasteful taupe cards suddenly looked WAY too boring.  So I decided to make each note more interesting by doing a little work on the back.
