No voice-Some snow

I have lost my voice. I don't ususally do that. It is a strange experience. On the good side, it is snowing! We already have about an inch. We are thrilled. It is so dry here on the hill, and really, everywhere. My art work is not being voted on this week. I guess a perrson can't expect people to love all their work, but I did think I might get at least one or two votes. I have been doing zentangles this week for a swap, and they are a fun art activity. I am going to start on a tea box for a swap, maybe tomorrow! I have already been collecting stuff for the box. I have to decide what theme to decorate it in. I am sure there will be India, Chinese, and Victorian boxes. I just want to do something unusual, as usual. lol. I have to dig through my stuff to see what I can use. i have an old silverware box with legs that would be nice, but heavy to mail maybe. I did have a couple of other boxes, but I think I hauled them off in one of my "I have too much junk, something has to go" moods. I hate it when this happens!

Gratitude Art

Here are a couple of pics i sent in to the gratitude art contest.

Winner

I sent in a scan of the little moo dollies book marks at the bottom and they tied for first place. Then this week, I won first place again with the "family world" altered globe. I made a couple of pieces off art for this weeks gratitude contest but I don't know if I will send them in or not. Two weeks in a roll is pretty awesome!

Thanksgiving Poem

Thirty people!
Hungry souls.
Auntie Sophie, Uncle Paul?
Ninety rolls, fifteen bowls
Kills the hungrys,
Salves the foiles.
Gravy's gone-
Instant moans.
Veritable mayhem
In our home.
Nice to have you-once your
Gone. Happy Thanksgiving!

Inspirations

Have you paid attention to what inspires you to do thge things you do? I have. My "inspirational" daughter has helped me to be able to use computer possibilities more. Like this blog. Today, I am inspired by her blog with her posts of digatal pictures to try to post some of my "art". Hope this works!

On Break

Today I made a iris fold tea pot which I will use to decorate a tea box. It turned out so pretty. The ATC cards for the Gold swap are arriving daily. I found new "papers and decorations" for my art room supplies on our trip to the city. I won a first place on Artella art contest #4. My life has been artsy the last few days. I love it to be that way. I am, project-less at the moment and I do not do well when that happens. I am much more content when I have a project in process. I have been researching digital imaging programs so I will know what to buy for my new computer when I buy one. I wish I could buy it now so I could learn how to make digital art right away. Generally speaking, I have a pretty good set up now, but as usual, want more more more more more MORE!

ATC Swapping

I joined a swap using Gold as the theme. The cards turned out so beautiful I wanted to keep them. I didn't. I sent them out to others. So, when I was invited to host a swap...I used the theme of, you guessed it, Gold. Again, I love these cards. Gold must be a color I connect with somehow. I wanted to publish the cards on the website for others to see, but, haven't figured out the procedure for that. Maybe, I need another whoosh in my life. Hope it comes soon!
