Went out 4 Indian a bit ago in celebration of new beginnings. [ finished packing & out of my studio!] Noticed the beautiful colors + patterns on my plate. Inspires me to experiment with colored oils & water........
Beautiful and abstract. The control you would have 2 have with the oil in order 2 make some amazing pieces is the true art//skill
Still packing up my shit. NOFUN. but I've been making the most of it. Just finished putting all of our [Ben + I] African masks away, and had this sudden urge to sell // donate all my belongings & travel again..............but where? My friend Kristen & I had been discussing classes in Costa Rica. It's a month long program where you learn how to teach children in other countries how to speak English.......? It's a thought. I think it would be a great experience + a good opportunity to gain another skill. I've been thinking about my future more lately, and out of all the careers I've contemplated, I seem to keep coming back to teaching art. I've had more than one person tell me that teaching would be something I would be great at + art is my life. Why not go 4 it? I got nothing 2 lose.
I'm in love with designer Unearthen's crystal bullet necklaces! Each unique piece is beautifully handcrafted work that is hanged//displayed in a wooden box with elements of nature + includes a booklet outlining the properties of the crystal.................VRY C00L
So still no word from MMMF.......I was supposed to get my schedule emailed 2 me a week ago. It's a shame because I had wanted to see Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, but no worries! There's always something to do. My friend Bobby has a few shows coming up near the end of the month.
should it stay? or should it go?
Had been working on this painting a while back & never got back 2 it.......packing up my shizz right now & can't decide if I should just throw it out! NE suggestions?????
I recently had fixed my iPod after months of horrible silence! A bit of an exaggeration, but it feels so good to be able to listen to ALL of my beautiful music wherever I go now! // feeling like a kid at Christmas......
Changed the wardrobe of my iPod as well........it appears brand new, but I looked at my memory left [ 75% full ] I really don't know I how I managed to almost fill up my 80GB with music!

Packing. gnikcaP. Pack//king. While packing 4 the move, I'm doing a bit of Spring cleaning. I ended up with 2 full garbage bags of clothes 2 bring back to Goodwill. (along with other kick-knacks). I wish Goodwill would create a borrowing system where the less fortunate just took what they needed, & when it's time to move on you return them back 2 the same place.............creating this cycle of coming and going materials {FREE STORE}. Ideally, Goodwill wouldn't be losing any $$$$ // & neither would I.
Not really feeling my best today. From all the house shopping//appointment making//phone calls// emails//packing// & balancing work + play + sleep, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed.........so I bought myself some new perfume oil 2 calm the nerves.
It has an interesting//unique aroma........I like it! With a balance of mediation//deep breathing & yoga I'll be back to normal in no time!
Been missing//thinking about my sister lately...................................I'm terrible when it comes 2 making phone calls + catching up with friends & family. I'd much rather send letters//postcards 2 ppl because 2 much time on the cellphone causes anxiety & radiation. Truthfully, I would rather not have either one in my life. Unfortunately, it's inevitable.........I think I'll call her this weekend.
Last weekend was the Flag's Art Walk......... so I went to the Beaver Street Gallery.
There I had met artist Al Hinton. Not only is he a long time professor of art at the University of Michigan, he's also a widely recognized mixed-media artist. He uses modern materials such as industrial polymers, plastics, silica, and metal, to create abstract collages. His work often explores ancient symbols & mythology 2 find new meaning & spiritual significance.We talked 4 a while about his work + I fell in love with his deep adoration 4 nature, his interest in shadowing within 3D objects on a 2D plane, and his generosity towards his community + others less fortunate to art education.
He gave me his contact info & invited me 2 a possible showing at his studio in May......... I hope it works out, I would love 2 see his studio + more of his work!
Got a little worried about how delicate these earrings were..........so I tested them out! Some of the jewelry I make can appear to be "too fragile" to wear, so I end up trying them out to determine whether they are wearable or not. I have had some pieces break on me. Either at the bar or a coffee shop, sometimes pieces die before you expect them to. It's beautiful in a way to witness a piece on the brink of collapse, because I'm always learning more about nature and the process of transformation........but I try hard to make each object live a long happy life.
