I had the good fortune of being able to spend part of the holidays over on the Sunshine Coast visiting friends. It was a lovely, lazy time – strolling out to Roberts Creek Point with cups of flavoured steamed milk warming hands and bellies.
Andrew, ever more observant than I (so embarrassing as I am the so-called Visual Artist), spotted this en route:
New WIP’s for the Survival Games series:

I haven’t managed to get back on schedule with the Muse – that’s what happens when you shamelessly neglect your blog while on a road trip. In some small manner of appeasement I offer to you a glimpse of the recently rebooted Survival Games series.

I’m going to attempt to finish blogging on the remaining five sessions today. The key word being “attempt”. Why? Because tomorrow is departure day for the Massive Art Culture Road Trip 2009. Check back tomorrow for more about that.

Survived the marbling workshops – if I get to collect my demo’s next week, I’ll scan a few to share. There were a couple pulls that I was really pleased with.

I was never one for collecting stuffed animals when I was a wee girl. Oh, sure, I had a few, but not mountains of them like some of my friends did. Now that I am a “mommy”, and have a [hairy] child of my own, I spend quite a bit of time perusing the stuffie bin at our local Salvation Army Thrift Store. Every once in a while I will find something that is just too precious to hand over to Elvis.

I know, I know. Will these two pieces EVER be finished?!

|

|
| 3. | Aided in the 4th annual Hallowe’en Extravanganza. |
What is the Hallowe’en Extravaganza you ask? Well…
