"Tracks of My Tears"

One of my favorite quotes is Picasso's..."Painting is just another way of keeping a diary"....I gave up a long time ago trying to keep my emotions out of my art...it has never worked...joy, pain, happiness, sorrow, it all has to come out! The world needs to be more honest and this is my small contribution to that goal.

A little procrastination never hurt anyone...

My Etsy shop is finally set up to accept PayPal and all major credit cards! So exciting! Everyone head on over and check it out!

So it's been awhile since I bloggity-blogged...finals followed by an excellent trip to Ft. Lauderdale :) But here is my most current work in progress...if I ever finish it I'll let you know!

Who has a cat, a dog, a mini-van, fabulous friends and a personal jeweler? THIS gal!

 Life is exceptionally stressful right now...semester is ending for three classes and in mid-terms for another. My fabu new advisor just informed me that my previous un-fabu advisor well, ill-advised me and I now have 6 extra credit hours of lab scienecs (blech) to take. Si tragique. Like a little puppy, happiness and distraction for me can be found in new toys, shiny, pretty things, and last week I shared a toy I found from Anthropologie's online shop...my dear friend Brooke observed my yearning for said jewel and took her happy self to a crafting store and...MADE IT FOR ME! Complete with a matching bracelet! Money can't buy you love, but it certainly helps you show it...I got a little box of love and hugs from SoFlo and am so proud I had to share...

Before...

After...

My beloved snail mail...packages, magazines, and letters make me so happy...

Props to Brooke...I got a TON of compliments....and yes, I had fun telling people it was a 'custom piece'...
















Weekend get here fast!

I found this necklace at Anthropologie and L-O-V-E it....but starving artist/broke student can't swing $45 on a new bauble right now so I have endeavored to make this happy piece! Any suggestions? Post, please!

Poppies!

I was told to branch out in my work and try something different...I don't really like different...but, again, this self-improvemnt kick has me open and optimistic to new ideas and suggestions...
