dear #Vicky Hartzler

John wrote a letter to Vicky Hartzler, she didn't respond so he sent it to the local paper. Maybe she will read it here.

jean jacket refashion

Finally got back to my jacket today. I can see the passion coming out of that flower! 

magicals

I mixed up some of those magicals and I really like them! My friend had one of these fish and I got inspiration from the Met.

portal

Didn't get a very good shot of this portal in the sky tonight. I read about some some witchy energy just after dusk so I saged the house and touched my crystals. 

I was mad at myself for buying all those Magicals...I had no idea that they were metallic and irritated with the gal that sold them to me when I had passed on another set for just that reason. I explained to her that I was trying to get the perfect Mississippi green on my live oak print, so she knew why I wanted them. Yeah right throw some glitter into that spanish moss and it'll be  PERFECT! Whatever, she got me for 100 bucks and I don't even like shimmery paint...I don't even like shiny paint. I  can mix them with both alcohol and water. I'm staying away from that place for a while. Really wanted to let her know but maybe she will figure it out. I've walked out of that place twice now with stuff I didn't want or need.

spilled coke

I spilled my coke all over my water color practice sheet! Shit!

I had already started a new one so wasn't that upset. This looks more like  gouache than watercolor but I will keep practicing. 

Check out those COOL bamboo spoons! I didn't know until I got home but they are a measuring spoon on each end. I saw legs for a new art doll so that is why I bought two. So beautiful! Love the layers!

 Look at this beautiful book I found for 5 bucks! 

Lakota prayer

The future is clear

Or not.

 Packed up my old glass.

Playing around with watercolor in the meantime.

acrylic brush holders

I've been feeling cramped in my small studio so splurged on acrylic storage! These are marketed to organize makeup therefore perfect in the studio. I'm probably the last to figure it out.  Not cheap but I'm really happy with it. Love having everything so close and all the color!

Really can't wait to move so I can have all my supplies around me. And my art...the clowns are in the other room. So are my girls. I really am inspired by ALL those things and feel so frustrated not to have it around me.

I've envisioned the perfect house and studio and now that everything is organized I can just pack the Subaru and transfer it to the new space. I know you are supposed to downsize when organizing but I only threw away a couple of old pastel sticks. Ha. I need all this stuff and I want to be able to see it. Now that I have all my pencils in sight I can see that I no longer need to buy those!

Okay I'm a craft hoarder. So what. I buy cheap and don't just follow every trend. Abundance makes me happy.
