Time Traveling

how often do you time travel on a smell...

or a sound...

a taste...

a texture...

 

Ma and Pa

i LOVE outsider art.

it's challenging for someone who tends

to be a perfectionist to make this kind of

art. this is my journal page for today. i'm

thinking i'll start painting and collaging

on some of the cardboard i've accumulated

since our recycle centers won't accept it

due to the whole covid thingy. that way

i won't feel as stressed about "messing up"

a journal and also use up the cardboard.

Feeling Blue

 i can't figure out why i can do an image transfer 

using a magazine page but not with something

 printed with my laser printer. 

imma figure this out!

(((why did blogger get rid of the option

to decrease line spacing??????)))

Where Does This Come From

Progress

....making progress on my coat collage!

I Got My Heart Broke

i broke my own heart today....

i cut that awesome lining out of my barn coat.

 

i LOVED that lining...but...

 

 that wool was seriously itchy!

 

also...i'm really hot natured and the more

i thought about it the more i realized it would

have to be extremely cold for me to be able to

wear this coat... and once it's tricked out i'm gonna 

want to be styling and profiling.

i've saved the lining to use in other projects and

will probably add a little to the outside of the coat.

the batting between the lining and the denim was

all wadded up and...as you can see...looked like

something that came out of a rat's nest.

life lesson #......(i've lost count!):

next time you want to cut up a vintage wool

material...DO....IT....OUTSIDE!!!

(what a mess...)

Blessed.....

we've had an unusually cool day today compliments of

hurricane hermine. i love nesting on a rainy day! got started

on my coat...

i really need to go junking for some old funky looking

clothes to repurpose. i've got so many ideas of things that

i want to add to this "canvas". 

spent some time in the studio today prepping papers for

 my heat sealed collage play. i can't wait to begin.

it's such a blessing to be able to putter around instead of 

working for a living! people often ask me if i get bored 

since i retired. the answer is NO....i love every nanosecond.

On Disappointments And Being Broke

so... i got the chore coat that i bought on ebay and

it REEKED of old funky mildew. i sure didn't expect

that! i contacted the seller and he offered to pay for 

dry cleaning. i thanked him but declined...i'm not a 

fan of wearing clothing soaked in chemicals...so he

did give me a partial refund..which was nice. i'm

chomping at the bit to begin my boro repairs but

i'm still washing and sunning the coat....sigh.

in the mean time:

i'm going to be playing with acrylic heat sealed collage!

i stumbled across some how to's in youtube land and

decided to give it a try. as usual...with a whole studio

of supplies i didn't have the products needed for this

process so i had to order the mediums. there's a

reason Golden begins with GOLD!!! thank goodness

i had a little birthday money.

and the playing begins...

The Seer

i played in my "just for fun" journal today.

as usual...it walked off on it's own path and

and left me with whisperings in my head.

"the sight"....my grandmother 

had it...my mother also. it scared the bejesus out

of me as a child but as an adult i recognize it

for the gift that it is.
