Hi friends and fellow bloggers!
How are you doing? Coping?
Since I’m such an introvert, social distancing has not impacted me so much.
I have had more time for art and my various projects have kept me inspired and busy.
I really enjoy art journaling, and I’ve put together an Art Journaling Kit.
My mission. Always to promote creativity for wellness!
This kit is available in my Etsy shop with free shipping.
Steady, cold, wet, rain
Tree limbs bow low, water logged
Warm, dry, studio
Art Prescription: About froze at the barn this morning. Finn was soaked.
Home to dry clothes and worked on Ramses paintings for an order.
Rain pours down, sideways
Umbrella threatens to flip
Inside out with wind.
Art Prescription: Here in NC we’ve had a nice long cool spring. So nice.
I drove to three stores today to find hoops for my Stitch Kits. Ended up at JoAnn Fabric and waited in line outside with my mask and gloves. Only so many people in the store at one time.
Since I was there I picked up a couple of new fat quarters of fabric.
Next design: a bird:
Sun shines through window
Wake… what day is it…hello
Coffee is ready.
Art Prescription: Anyone else feeling disoriented? Without a schedule? What day is it?
Early walk at Mason Farm. Saw a Fly Catcher.
Continue this stitch project:
Fairy purveyors
A skill to be developed
Journal for records.
Art Prescription: If you aren’t keeping a fairy journal during these times, then you are missing out on magic.
Serious fairy hunters know keeping records is a must. Fairies are of course mysterious.
Local fairies have provided journals for those on the look out for all good among all people.
Each piece of pine straw
Or lichen, twigs, spider’s silk
Laid with high design
Art Prescription: Bird’s nests are architecturally a wonder!
My walks sustain me.
And also my art. My Stitch Kits are designed to give peace.
New design:
Don’t take personal
Words or actions from others
It’s their perspective.
Art Prescription: So often we allow the words of others bother us. Usually it’s all about them…
Fabric collage with quote and improv stitching:
None of us know now
What life is going to be
Wading through water.
Art Prescription: So we go about our days staying afloat.
Fabric collage on vintage wallpaper:
Time to perculate
Bring the gerbil in to home
Off the running wheel!
Art Prescription: Having extra time to work on some ideas has been nice.
I’m hoping to soon list an embroidery kit in my Etsy shop.
Birds sing in the rain
They sing in the sun, they sing
Because they have song!!
Art Prescription: I love Maya Angelou and have used her beautiful quote in today’s Art Prescription.
