trace creek crop and create...

Not too much time for a long post today. I will be at Trace Creek Crop in September and I need to be creating new things for the booth...Maybe some displays will end up at a certain daughters house that's redecorating...???

creative folks

Every day I am so truly blessed to be able to work with so many creative people!

I have discovered that creativity comes in so many shapes and sizes.

There are the quiet, well reserved photographers who think no one is really paying any attention to their photos only not to know that they are daily inspiration. Another group of artists are the quiet writers. They are to be well respected because sometimes words come very hard. There are the quirky," always looking for a place to display another piece of art" kind of artists. There are the "everything I do is over the top" artists. There are the "I can't do art" artists who are really good at it anyway. There are artists that just make what I tell them, no matter if it really doesn't make sense at the time. And there are artists who just sort of whittle two sticks together and out pops something wonderful...(as my husband says) people. No matter the type of supplies...Shake it up...Shake well and let the creativity fall.

A few of my favorite things

Since this is among my first posts I wanted to let you know the kind of things I am really interested in.
As we go along, I'll be adding pictures that you are more than welcome to use in your artwork or just for your personal inspiration. I like Old sheet music, Antique lace, Old tattered books, Buttons, Keys, Antique papers, Baby shoes, Birds Nests, Speckled eggs and especially the HUNT for all of them!!!

HELLO!! This is my very first post so everybody be easy.

I think this blog is going to be good for me in a couple of ways.
One, a stress reliever. Two, a way to create...differently, not just with a sharpie and three, a way to bounce a few ideas off other artists who have similar interests.

Let me tell you about some of my interests and you can see where I am headed.

I love anything vintage. Anything that is crusty, dusty or to be altered probably has my name already on it to be saved.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to create one of a kind pieces of artwork for enjoyment or to sell that has some sort of vintage theme to it. I really never know where the piece will lead me until that certain little face appears or that certain little chotsky comes out of my many boxes and drawers of stuff that will actually make that piece of artwork "come alive". Everything is just waiting to be shaken well.
