Happy Monday....I am totally feeling on top of things! Of course, it is just Monday, so perhaps I shouldn't be shouting that from the mountain tops, as I seem to be. I'm just speaking in general, I suppose. You know how you feel when you've gotten everything scratched off on your list and THEN SOME....things that didn't make it to the list have gotten done, as well. Of course, for the list-makers of the world, there is not nearly as much satisfaction in getting something done that wasn't on the list, but I won't take the time to go put it on there just to be able to cross it off. I'm also excited because I've started an online class for the library where I work, so I can redesign the website in WordPress. It just started today...so far, so good! The weather is hot, but I won't say beastly hot, as many, many parts of the country are beastly hot! It's going to be 100 degrees here for several days, but no matter what anyone around here says, that's not nearly as bad as the 90s in the muggy south and I feel for those folks with their 100+ temperatures. I've lived there and know they are miserable....hope cooler temps are on the way for everyone suffering with the heat.
Meanwhile, before I head out to the deck with a little unwinding hard cider and cheese, thought I'd share the weekend dailies with you. It felt good to be back with my old teabag friends and liked what happened with these. The drawing for Saturday has inspired a whole new "book" project, which will actually be loose pages wrapped in a paper wrapping....I'm working on the pages now and dipping them in beeswax. Can't wait to show you....maybe by the end of the week, but that could be pushing it.
For those in the United States, hope you enjoy a happy and safe 4th of July holiday and hope all of you have a good week. Thanks for being part of my world....it's wonderful to feel connected to people at so many points across the globe!
Oooo Patti these are beautiful!! Really love them! Glad you've ticked everything off the list and made some breathing space for yourself. Looking forward to seeing your latest dipped pages.
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn...thank you...so glad you like these drawings! Good feeling to be caught up....even if only for a short time. Hope things are well in your world!
DeleteFunny you mention global connections just under the July 1st daily which sort of reminds me of the rings representing the continents in the Olympics symbol! Your emblem might be for a convocation of artists, however, as the rings are connected but won't sit still and fall into a conventional pattern! Hope you continue to stay ahead of your list - it is a good feeling to be on top of things for a change!
ReplyDeleteGabriella....someone else on FB mentioned the Olympic rings...it's a natural connection, but I like your interpretation of the convocation of artists! Cheers!
DeletePatti the hard cider and cheese sounds like a lovely evening summer thing to do. we are still damp with rain here in oregon. moments of sunshine have us all rushing outside. happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteMarchi...come by anytime you are in the area for some hard cider and cheese....surely it's just a hop, skip and a jump...ha!
DeleteHope by now the sunshine is bathing you in warmth! Have a good weekend!
Lovely work! I'm one of those in the south. This morning, early, I went for my walk and the humidity was 84%! Yikes!! Hooray for air-conditioning.
ReplyDeletePenny....yes, 84% humidity sounds familiar and have to say I don't miss that part of living in Florida! Thank you for the compliment on the work and hope you have a lovely, cooler weekend!
DeleteI like the sound of hard cider and cheese! And these two works are just beautiful - I was just saying to B about the bottom one - so much control, yet so much freedom. A great combo! Hope you had a happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteFiona....promise to pull out the hard cider and cheese when you come for a visit! perhaps that should be an "if"....glad you like these drawings. I feel like finally all the work is merging into more of a whole, rather than separate bodies. Enjoy the weekend!
