Falling in love with being lost. Not knowing what is around the bend. So easy to be sustained with curiosity, discovery.
I want to go back. Again and again. I feel safe there. I feel at Peace there. Why don’t I when I’m home?
Hi, folks.
I’ve signed up for something really big. I have an account over on Patreon. Follow link to my page. A long time ago, wealthy individuals and families would support artists to paint, sculpt, and create works of them and for them. Patreon has brought that generosity into the 21st century. You, as a supporter, would give monthly to a creator of your choice and know that you are helping someone live their dream. That could be me. Hop on over there and check it out. It’s pretty cool!
The coast is a special place to me. I grew up in high altitude where the plains meet the Rocky Mountains. There wasn’t a lot of standing water there. The ocean was this amazing, mysterious place that I saw maybe a few times when I was a child. It was vast and blue. Moving to Washington has been so great since I see water almost every day.
Here’s a link to one of the pieces I made of Ocean Shores, Washington. What did you do when you first saw Sharky’s? I think I hollered, “Whoa!!”

A custom order flew in from the ethers when I sported my Sacred Heart Margaret last month. Here are some pics during the process this weekend. Thank God for 3 days off! There are four pieces to this purse; 8 total with inside lining. The matte board is for the bottom reinforcement.
A custom order came out of the venture! Huzzah! or however you spell it… 🙂
Pretty, huh? As you can see I took artistic license and used green, orange, and red ’cause I felt like it. I tore out the journal paper that I had glued my pattern on and then cut around the square. I gave it to my friend that way, but you could try using something to hang it up. She really liked it and she’s a kindergarten teacher so this was the perfect gift for her!
One thing to mention is that your pen, chopstick, or pencil will start to get glue on it since the tissue is so fine. I just rub the glue off with my fingers or a rag. If you happen to do a project inspired from this, share it! Or if you come up with a great display idea, share that too. I would love to hear from you.
Spring’s a comin’. Hang in there and make something beautiful for someone…everyone you know needs it more now than ever.
