Chaos

This week I have been making some Calligraphic sayings for the Gallery in Idaho. One of those was this one, "Dancing Star." The top stars are made out of hand painted paper. I started with white Canson paper and then used a palette knife with teal, cobalt, gold and purple and just spread it all over the paper. Each star, then, becomes a little different depending on where it is cut out of the colors of the paper. May you all have a little chaos and give birth to the creativity of the dancing star.

Perhaps they are not stars

I think I received this saying on a Sympathy card when my Dad died. I have always thought it was beautiful, great word pictures. I hope you are all having a great Tuesday.

Making Paper Messes in my Studio

Here is one of the walls of my new studio and my paper mess in preparation for making some new calligraphy sayings for my Gallery in Idaho. Hope you enjoy!

Making a Trail

I guess I always think of sled dogs when I see this quote, in case you wonder where the dog idea comes from. Blazing a trail!

Roots and Wings

I hope you are all having a beautiful summer day today. A tree in full bloom sinking deep roots, hopefully that is what I gave to my children.

Peace

So sorry I have been neglecting my blog of late. First we moved, then we had the Hawaiian Grandchildren for 10 days of fun! And then we went to Portland for a fun birthday party. Back to my drawing board today, wishing you PEACE!

The First Post from the New Studio

Our first night in our new home was Wednesday night. We have been working like dogs, lol. On Saturday morning, I started in my studio and 6 am and finally quit at 5:30 pm. Putting away books and hanging pictures, I just could not hammer one more nail. (:

This is a sweet Scripture I used to do many years ago and relettered it before our move. Have a great Monday!
