These pencils are really cool…I know you could come up with some incredible things to do with them.

You are right about blogging and finding people who are kindred spirits! And we can all visit the place when we choose to do so.

Great to know I am not as alone as I once was

Thanks San!

Yes, I relate to your meditative “obsession.” And yes, sometimes people wonder about me too. That’s the great thing (one of many great things) about blogging–hooking up with kindred spirits who are as nuts as we are.

I bet you would like these pencils a lot…hey, you could take them along to your daily grind and have some art fun in the middle of the day

Have a Lovely One!

Love those cards. What a great idea!

Suki, I completely understand what you mean about being frustrated with your things in storage. With our moves, I have had the same issue from time to time. When we lived in England it was 2 years of that kind of thing. For me, the worst is knowing it is somewhere, but not being able to put your hands on it. Or remembering it was at one house but have not seen it since….these, too, are the stories of my life. Some day it will happen I might see a photo of those lovely things you describe. In the meantime, I will enjoy your beautiful words and conjure images in my head.

I am quickly realizing artist are obsessed like that…well, at least the older ones. I honestly admire beautiful clothing and well designed items, but to go out and buy or shop…I really struggle. It also doesn’t help that I am do not fall into the 0 – 6 size range . But when my family gets tired of looking at the same clothes over and over or I need something for an event, they call my daughter home to take me shopping (kind of like taking the dog for a walk). She just tells me try this on, try that on, etc. I usually like things once I get them on my body…but it is a pain to keep trying things on. I also hate Malls! So there you have it.

Suki, you sure have a way of getting out all my little nasty secrets

Yeah…buy something you can do things with, right?

I had to chuckle re: you dont like to get your hair cut nor buy clothes without prompting. I hate do do both of those which is why I buy clothes most often in thrift stores. My current bunch of clothes are becoming paint stained and getting holes but there are no thrift stores up here that are any good. I don’t know what I’ll do. I have no daughter to take me out shopping. I’d rather buy books or art supplies too.

I am so pleased you think the cards are a good way to go. That means a lot to me. I find it a nice thing to do when I am not actually in the studio.

I am glad to hear you like the inktense pencils, too. They do have more of an inky appearance than watercolors, I think.

Good to know you, too, drive people nuts with your art antics. You are right, they do love it, really.

Oh, you make me laugh so hard about not buying clothing and going to the hairdresser because you would rather buy art and art supplies. I think it is so funny, because it is just the stuff I do. I am not a real fan of getting my hair cut (don’t tell Babs) or of buying clothing (only do that with my daughter because she makes me). Heck, I would forgo a lot of things for art and travel!

Thanks so much dear Andrea!

These are actually pencils, like watercolor pencils. I think that is what makes them so appealing to carry around, too. I have a little canvas pad here (one of those to see how different canvases respond to what you can dish out) and I am going to give a little test on those, too. I will let you know.

That is very cool you used to make your own business cards. These are kind of odd as they have only my web site, and email on them…but moving like we do, it only makes sense to do it this way! Yippee for the internet. I would love to see some of those cards you made. Do you still have any hanging around?

Suki, you have a delightful weekend, as well. I plan on a lot of art making.

Fingers Crossed Anyway.

Here is to you, Suki!
