On making time to create


Bookmarks 7-2010

I got a lovely letter from Romona the other day asking where my blog had gone. I made some excuse about not having time or the inclination to create and she told me to set aside at least one hour a day for my art. So I will try that! I spend entirely too much time playing computer games and just web surfing - I need to cut that out! So yesterday I sat down and finished off the bookmarks I had started for my nieces and nephew. I was surprised that they photographed as well as they did since they are encased in heavy plastic. I use the self laminating pouches from Scotch and the reason I sew around them (besides the fact that I just plain like the way it looks) is that they barely fit two to a pouch and when I cut them out the glue doesn't hold. These bookmarks are way sturdier than the ones you can buy in the stores, I use some myself! I figured my nephew wouldn't want a little girl so I collaged one for him. We'll see how well I manage to stick to the hour for art a day!

On vacation

Not me .. my muse .. and she's been on an extended vacation! Hopefully that will change soon .. next week is the summer arts festival and I am taking a class in surface design - all day class for 5 days! I think I'm going to need a rolling suitcase to take all the supplies with me though! Will take photos and try to post them each night - but we'll see how that goes as I'll have to do Doll Street work at night too.
