Here is another page from one of the small journals that i was working on in november and december. i love this one, i took the doodle that i did in eths class, and drew it larger onto a page that i had painted a background on with blk glaze pen. i filled it in with speedball acrylic inks for the transparent look. i love the big flames in the bckground.

lets do it again

You are a Hippie

You are a total hippie. While you may not wear birks or smell of incense, you have the soul of a hippie.
You don't trust authority, and you do as you please. You're willing to take a stand, even when what you believe isn't popular.

You like to experiment with ideas, lifestyles, and different subcultures.
You always gravitate toward what's radical and subversive. Normal, mainstream culture doesn't really resonate with you.


of course it counts if i DO wear birkenstocks (so comfy! so easy! so cute with socks!) and burn incense (no its not mota!) even if i don't rock the tie-die.

one more time

ok its not working. i will have to try it again tomorrow.

what color crayon are you?

i saw this on janice "bead womyn" lopez' blog and i took the test- if i can copy and paste the result i am going to log it here

You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors.
You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find.
On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody.
However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front.

Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.


does the html code go away when i post this?

hooray for obsessive art!


Yay! here's a india ink design i made in the old moleskine yesterday, very relaxing and healing at the same time. i've been so stressed out due to health problems, stress due to -where oh where am i going to be living in a few months- concerns and the logistics of moving. yuk! can i say i am, as an earth sign, not very amenable to moving in the least. i hate it. and now it is rapidly approaching yet again, a mere 11 months after our last move. its strange 'cause i do love traveling, and i feel i do it very easily, as long as i have my favorite books and some pens and paper, i'm good. but i detest the packing, the expense, and the general chaos of relocation.

beautiful mail art from i biddy boo


here's some beautifully colored altered cd's painted by "i biddy boo" cindy pettit of georgia & canada. i met her through the sharpie scouts and we trade mail art. the scanner really doesn't do them justice, the little bird is adorable.

happy 2008!

to everyone and everybody who keeps up with the millions of others who check by this blog- harharhar- happy new year! may this year bring all creativity and good will, strength of spirit and energy for sharing. as usual i have photos i have scanned to the computer that i need to find before i post them. any one care to comment about the lack of tech know how? anyone? anyone? bueller?
it is simply amazing to me how i manage to muddle through the stuff that i do.
