these are all works in progress sitting on my studio tables right now...well, studio table/work table/dining table...! i get pretty tentative about gluing or taping anything down in my collages until i know they are just right. thus, they sit around for a while...i walk past, i tweak... i observe...i tinker...i switch things around... i fuss around some more... i look for the right image/object/thing to go into or on it... until i know it's right. sometimes that takes a while for me...
needs a little work; but my printer neighbor gave me some pointers, so i think i can improve these next time...
...we bought a 4 foot mural printer today off of craigslist. not that we need it for this tiny little collage - but the point is, we can print anything now! i'm excited to print some of my holga work from a while ago that never had any print love & i'm excited that the mister has a toy he's always wanted! :) yay craigslist!
which to eat first?! yum. per shash's game: what you don't see out of frame -- the crumpled up napkin that was not aesthetically pleasing, the pile of tax papers piled directly behind yummies, computer to the left, bank of windows to the right, fork & knife (i decided 1/2 of each was best!)...shoes piled together under yellow coffee table & me, with a big ole grin on my face ready to indulge!
needs a bit of a new do...but i can't take down those calendars yet, i love them so much!
no, the taxes have not been wrapped up yet. humph. i started organizing the studio instead; which is really a straight 2 week project, if i worked all day, every day...so instead of ignoring it, which i've been doing very effectively, the mister prodded...i resisted...i whined a little...but tackled it anyways...little chunks i guess...and now what am i avoiding? oh yes, said taxes...eep! they'll get done. pinky swear it.
more vintage goodness from thrifting...i love thrifting in virginia!
i think i'm going to start periodically show the thrifting scores i've acquired over the years, this is recent - picked her up out of a friend's garage for free! she needs a lid, but i can make one of those being ceramicist...or, i'll leave her hatless...maybe she needs to air out!
this blog has inspired my 2 morning photos -- however, this might just be an occasional weekend thing for me as my day doesn't really start until i get into school & make my tea there...
sneak peeks of some of the new necklaces that will be going up on the site in the next few weeks...
part of going through loads of paper ephemera...i found this photo. can you even believe at 32 years of age i seem to have the same hair do? now, lest you believe i've been stuck in rut since 5 years of age, i'll dig up some bleached out shortness for you soon! :)
my goofy shadow, barge in the bay, mt diablo, moon during the day, dixie loo, lovely sun set at heron's head point. we also came across this very cool piece of painted redwood that looks like a train crossing with numbers on it - of course we took it with us. a little bit of barnacle scrubbing & it's fit for our home! i'll shoot a pic of it in our place to share...
my hair is getting crazy long...what should i do with it?! cut it all off again and bleach it???! revert to an old 'do for a new '07??
