New Art for You to See!






Finally!!! I have been successful and Blogger has let me download some images of my recent work!!! I'm sosososo excited.

At Artfest I took a class from Traci Bautista. It was wonderful. It was fun watching one of my favorite artist in action. Since Artfest I've been tweeking with the techniques that she taught us and these are some of my finished pieces! I love the colors and textures. Of course I have deemed myself the Doodle Queen and I love that part too! Let me know what you think.

I am working on many things right now....including more of these collages, some jewelry, various fabric projects and a whole series of embellishment making. Also, at this time, I am teaching a Level 2 journaling class. This group of women are really charming. I so enjoy standing beside them as they learn more about their creative voices. I love to teach!!! I will be doing a demo at Stampadoodle this week on embellishments. I can't wait! I feel "busy" in my artist's world and I love that.

Personally there are always things happening...ebbing and flowing.....changes being made, adjustments in how I do things, who I do things with, how much energy I have, where I want to spend my time, etc. I certainly feel like a moving target sometimes.....not very stable....ever changing. It is at these moments that I feel very "onely" and solitary. I've learned that it is OK and that I don't need to be afraid. Often....this is when my most momentus decisions get made and when I make, what I see, as my most moving art. Times of change shouldn't be frightening. It's exciting.

I have so many things to be thankful for. These things are all part of the beautiful quilt of my life. I do revel in my abundance!!!

dearest sherri... we have missed you...

as of late...i too seemed to be caught in the ebb and flow of rapidly changing life.

feeling a bit timid but knowing... deep down inside that i will find my way... trying to understand everything that is happening and being brave to reach out to embrace these changes.

i am thinking about you and sending warm thoughts your way!
