Granny Prix Racer

A friend of mine who knows I collect shoe forms and stretchers found this for me at a garage sale.  For me, it was love at first sight!

Using epoxy sculpt as well as paper clay, I created the figure.  The wooden wheels were affixed by drilling holes in the sides of the form. Glue on a long toothpick stuck the through holes adhered them to the form. Springy boobies, glass bead arms and milkweed pod for helmet.

What's on My Mind...

"Almost" every day I come up with an idea for this journal.   The challenge is putting into pictures and words

 

Still at it...

 

Pencils, papers, books, etc. piled up on my workspace. Rather than put them away, I painted them instead.

The BLT things are getting old.  Thankfully, I got some help!

leftovers...

 My palette was a total mess with paints I mixed for journal pages.  I used the paint to create a small (6x8) still life.

It's freeing to slap-dash the paint on the canvas and not think too much about it.

Inspiration is everywhere...

A friend sent me this poem on New Year's Eve.  I love it.  I've read it numerous times and find something new to think about each time.

It's been cold, damp and oh did I mention COLD here!

Staying Safe at Home...

I really wanted to get out of the house today...
