Yesterday I got on bloglines with the plan to read some blogs. I hadn't visited the first blog that I chose to look at in a while. Actually, I haven't visited many blogs, including my own, in a long time. When the blog opened the post was titled Happy New Year! I was more than 200 posts behind!
I am living a different sort of unblog-cluttered life these days. For the last year I've been waiting to have the desire to paint again. But I don't really have it. I know that the easiest way to get it is to put my butt in the chair and paint. Instead, I am distracted with these two dorks...
They have no manners whatsoever. One leaps up and eats food right off the table and the other is a secret agent sent from Dog Headquarters on a mission to exterminate or at least terrify every cat she can find.
And as there are two perfectly lovely cats living here, she must work diligently night and day and day and night barking and leaping and throwing herself into such a frenzy that her teeth chatter and shebarks so loud I think the roof will blow off the house. All this keeps a girl busy and out of her studio.
when i have time, i make simple pieces like these horn earrings
and these that have beautiful crucifix medals with sari ribbon
and these which are really colorful from where i sit.
but soon, soon, back to a schedule of painting and a store filled with jewelry and wooden fabulous creatures. soon!




Hi Kelly,

life can interrupt for sure... picasso has a saying about inspiration which i love, but one must have the time/ability to work... the earrings are lovely - you will get there!

Oh boy, do I know about barking hounds and screeching cats, I take my Brittany Spaniel with me in the studio because that is the only way I can get anything done! Hang in there...
