A, B, C and Beyond

A, B, C . . . This is a year-long project/challenge that I'm working on for a group called "Artistic Alphas" on Kim's Paper, Digital, Art and Images web forum http://artandimagesbykim.ning.com/ . Each piece is 6x6 inches and by the time I complete 26 of them for each letter of the alphabet, I'll need a box with wheels on it to store them in...or maybe I'll create some sort of wall art with them. I have lots of time to think about it...

"Recalculate!"

We are like GPS units. We plan our journeys to follow a designated route. Sometimes there are obstacles in our path. Sometimes we make a wrong turn and get a little lost. We don’t give up and stay lost. We just recalculate and get back on the right route again.

Christmas Row Houses 2011

I was creatively occupied by making these vintage-themed row houses before and after the holidays. I spent a relaxing two weeks in Florida with my son, Adam, and his fiance, Robyn. The day after Christmas they went on a 5-day cruise to Cozumel and the Cayman Islands while I doggy-sat their two beastie-babies. They entrusted me with their Garmin GPS unit and their cars and I had a great time shopping for after-Christmas sales at the local craft and hobby stores while they were cruising. I came home with a stash of new holiday stamps, embellishments and ideas to add to my row houses.
