Things I’m thinking about
Filed in Musings, March 10, 2008, 11:00 pmMy mind, not surprisingly, is rather full of squirly energy lately and there’s so much swimming around in there I thought I’d share with y’all (like that bit of Southern flavor?). What do you say? Are you up to it? Aww, come on; don’t be a chicken.
The house I was hoping wouldn’t rent before we [...]
My heart is broken
Filed in Musings, February 24, 2008, 9:12 pmPolaroid film is the newest casualty in the digital takeover and the news has made me sad. No more wonderfully skewed color or blurry, soft images to either transfer to watercolor paper or to cherish as is. Nothing, including any Photoshop manipulation, will ever replace or replicate the Polaroid flavor some of us have come [...]
Handy links Monday or Tuesday or whenever
Filed in Musings, October 29, 2007, 10:48 pmI don’t know if I’ll make this a regular thing but I come across items in my feed that while handy or interesting, don’t merit their own post. So, I’m going to try and make a list of this stuff and post them on Mondays. Or maybe Thursdays. Or maybe when I damn well please.
Now, [...]
Green or Earl Grey?
Filed in Musings, August 7, 2007, 6:58 amDrop a wet teabag on a piece of paper, remove, enjoy your tea and allow to dry. Dry now? Okay, now create a sketch! That simple. When you’re all done, scan and upload it the the Flickr Tea sketches pool and discuss. Don’t drink tea? Try something else. All you need is a stain or [...]
Polaroid goodness
Filed in Musings, August 4, 2007, 6:08 amWhenever I read my RSS feeds, it never fails that I find something new and inspiring.
Polaroids aren’t exactly new but I’m inspired to dust off my vintage Polaroid 600 in the basement and see what I can do after my online reading adventures today. There’s something about the atmosphere only a Polaroid can convey that [...]
Who needs Photoshop?
Filed in Musings, August 1, 2007, 8:07 amWell, I do but apparently Colorado Springs artist Jason Baalman does not. A quick Google search reveals that CNN and Letterman already know about him but if you’re like me and live under a rock, this is new.
If you know me at all you know how much I adore those who can create beauty with [...]
Jenny Bowers
Filed in Musings, July 31, 2007, 6:42 amIf you enjoy illustration and appreciate it in its freshest forms, check out Jenny Bowers. I’m fascinated by her telegraph poles set as well as her patterns.
From her about page:
Jenny’s work is mainly craft based and reflects her love of pattern, drawing, painting, cutting and sticking. She uses her own photographs, old textile designs and [...]
Nice few days
Filed in Musings, July 15, 2007, 11:40 pmEvery year I look forward to the art fair my city puts on downtown. We have a downtown that is a block away from the river and every year they close down about a mile or so (maybe less? I’m not good with distance) and fill it with artist booths, delicious fair food and musical [...]
Sweet silence
Filed in Musings, June 26, 2007, 9:03 pmThat is exactly what I am enjoying (and I do mean enjoying) at the moment. The only sounds I hear (okay, so it’s not entirely silent) are the whirring of the fan and the gentle taps on my keyboard. The television is off (blasphemy!), the kids have been in bed for about an hour and [...]
Filling the calendar
Filed in Musings, June 19, 2007, 10:59 pmBasically that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. All three are signed up for gymnastics for the summer. In addition, Gracie has summer Suzuki lessons, Iain has a week-long art camp and Iz has a three day gymnastics camp. I’ve tried finding activities to keep us all moving a bit even [...]
