One of these days I am going to match the colors in my traveler's watercolor kit to the names, then I'll fill in the color wheel I created in my journal. In the meantime I just pick the colors that work best for the vision in my head.
Check out the etsy postings on the side bar.

What a fabulous time. E's first time there. He loved every second of the 12-13 hour days in the parks. Plus the 186 foot water slide at Paradise Pier. And the Character Breakfast. Thank you to all of your friends and family who made this once in a lifetime vacation dream come true!

Here are some visual clues about the classes that will be offered soon.

The Big Studio Cleanse* has prompted me to finally scan them all and to get them to a print shop. Soon they will be available for sale. I've posted <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/127244854/handlettered-words-to-live-by">this print </a>on Etsy this afternoon
*The first floor of our house recently had water damage. We are in the middle of getting it repaired...the water damaged area has been removed, all the tile in the laundry/bathroom, the water soaked carpet and padding, 2 feet of the drywall around the laundry room (and one wall of the garage), it's colder and ugly down there right now. So, next is packing up all of the studio (and laundry room). I have been clearing out things I don't imagine myself using any longer. However, now is the time to just pack. I enjoy purging in the unpacking process even more. When I unpack, I like to think about each thing and it's placement, if I don't know where it goes, then it goes. When it is all done, I will have sunshiney yellow walls and new squishy carpet (we opted for spending more on the padding to cover the concrete foundation).

From my current carrying around journal. This is a brush drawing of the young Mary Ann Moss', as seen on <a href="http://dispatchfromla.typepad.com/">her wonderful blog </a>.
I have been following along in her Ticket to Venice class. A very generous and sweet friend gifted me her class. Her classes are so, so good. I love her style, her life, her outlook, her artwork, her view...The videos of Italy are so wonderful. Take this class. If you haven't taken any of her classes, start with this one, and then, take them all! Best value.
Another lovely and generous friend gifted me with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Pocket-Brush-Refills-GFKP3BPA/dp/B002LJRKN8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357525098&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+arts+pocket+brush+pen+with+refills">Pentel Arts Pocket Brush Pen.

Now through the white orchard my little dog /
romps, breaking the new snow/
with wild feet./
Running here running there, excited,/
hardly able to stop, he leaps, he spins/
until the white snow is written upon/
in large, exuberant letters,/
a long sentence, expressing/
the pleasures of the body in this world./
Oh, I could not have said it better/
myself. -Mary Oliver<blockquote></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer">share. collaborate. create. </div>celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12577493752550897071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34129117.post-25156063423392673872012-05-30T23:01:00.000-07:002012-05-30T23:01:17.265-07:00One of the many podcasts I listen to is The Writer's Almanac.

Excerpts from "How to be Perfect"
by Ron Padgett
Get some sleep.
Eat an orange every morning.
Be friendly. It will help make you happy.
Hope for everything. Expect nothing.
Take care of things close to home first. Straighten up your room
before you save the world. Then save the world.
Be nice to people before they have a chance to behave badly.
Don't stay angry about anything for more than a week, but don't
forget what made you angry. Hold your anger out at arm's length
and look at it, as if it were a glass ball. Then add it to your glass
ball collection.
Wear comfortable shoes.
Do not spend too much time with large groups of people.
Plan your day so you never have to rush.
Show your appreciation to people who do things for you, even if
you have paid them, even if they do favors you don't want.
After dinner, wash the dishes.
Calm down.
Don't expect your children to love you, so they can, if they want
to.
Don't be too self-critical or too self-congratulatory.
Don't think that progress exists. It doesn't.
Imagine what you would like to see happen, and then don't do
anything to make it impossible.
Forgive your country every once in a while. If that is not
possible, go to another one.
If you feel tired, rest.
Don't be depressed about growing older. It will make you feel
even older. Which is depressing.
Do one thing at a time.
If you burn your finger, put ice on it immediately. If you bang
your finger with a hammer, hold your hand in the air for 20
minutes. you will be surprised by the curative powers of ice and
gravity.
Do not inhale smoke.
Take a deep breath.
Do not smart off to a policeman.
Be good.
Be honest with yourself, diplomatic with others.
Do not go crazy a lot. It's a waste of time.
Drink plenty of water. When asked what you would like to
drink, say, "Water, please."
Take out the trash.
Love life.
Use exact change.
When there's shooting in the street, don't go near the window.

Here is little man, out standing in his field (well, Liz's field on Lopez Island) watching the border collies herd the sheep.

You weigh your produce, write your purchase in their spiral bound notebook, make change with their change box and head home. We bought some beet greens, kale and some pork breakfast sausage. We all *loved* that breakfast sausage! We'll be asking Liz to bring us more each time she visits :)

Mt. Baker in the distance here. We flew a kite on the ferry deck on the way over to Lopez and on the way home we blew bubbles. A *huge* hit, I highly recommend bringing bubbles when travelling with a preschooler. Really it was a big hit with the whole side of the ferry, I could see folks smiling and pointing out the bubbles floating by their windows. The dogs on the ferry loved them too.

Playing with cut out typography right now. Paging through my journal and adding words to complete the artwork. I've always loved circles, the colour wheel imagery is a newer addition, and yes, I live in Seattle, so I put a bird on it. ;)<div class="blogger-post-footer">share. collaborate. create. </div>celestehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12577493752550897071noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34129117.post-84437290490315876912012-05-07T09:45:00.002-07:002012-05-07T09:45:40.465-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another opportunity! I'm teaching a silver clay jewelry class again this Saturday at Schack Art Center in Everett, WA. I love, love these days, seeing all the new jewelry created by the artists in class. These samples are all student work.

This summer I am teaching a new class at the Schack Art Center. Recycling vintage jewelry into new more wearable creations. This sample has a lot going on, I included a lot of techniques. You can also use the techniques in a more streamlined necklace too.

So my excuses about poor lighting are over. I'm playing with backgrounds and taking better photographs. I'm working on doing a deep cleaning of the studio, so that there will be plenty of room for taking photographs...and making art in the evenings and other stolen moments throughout the week.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OBir1PSZLKQ/TySFDLVW4-I/AAAAAAAAC4o/7GLIm8kR3K0/s1600/artwork%2B010.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 197px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OBir1PSZLKQ/TySFDLVW4-I/AAAAAAAAC4o/7GLIm8kR3K0/s320/artwork%2B010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702829317786362850" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jYMP_UDl9eU/TySFCZPoqWI/AAAAAAAAC4g/Gz5zKjYy48I/s1600/artwork%2B006.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jYMP_UDl9eU/TySFCZPoqWI/AAAAAAAAC4g/Gz5zKjYy48I/s320/artwork%2B006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702829304340588898" /></a>These earrings are currently up for sale in my etsy store...See the link to the right.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G6rNFtl3MZg/TySFCCz3UGI/AAAAAAAAC4M/HJ3YnRmXNhE/s1600/artwork%2B004.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G6rNFtl3MZg/TySFCCz3UGI/AAAAAAAAC4M/HJ3YnRmXNhE/s320/artwork%2B004.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702829298318528610" /></a>I really, really enjoy making and filling art journals lately.
