Only 3.5 Days Left!

This is a short one - only 3.5 days left in the school year, then it's house purging for a few days, then all creative biz, all the time! I'm SO excited!

My camera is back and I have new ideas for a series I want to create in pictures... I don't want to give too much away, but I think my years of junk'ing (I mean antiquing, of course) are finally going to pay off! In the meantime, I thought I would show one of my favorite pics. Look for it in my next post!

I have an idea for a new series of mixed media pieces I want to work on - It's called Scenes From Her Life. It's been rolling around in my head for some time now, but my ideas hadn't quite crystallized. Today they seemed to gel!

I also started scratching out an idea for a second series I want to create this summer called Always In My Heart. I haven't figured it out completely yet, but I'm super excited to get to work on it! I think it's the culmination of years of life experience and thoughts rolled into one.

I want to start a third series on women from the 50's - it's an idea in it's infancy though..... I sketched one such lady out tonight, and my 4 yr old thought I should "cut the lady out and give it to (her)". I saw what she did to the last paper dolls I gave her though...it wasn't pretty!

I'm off to bed! Sometimes it's hard for me to sleep when my brain is in create mode! Fingers crossed...

  2. I too am counting down the days to the end of school , I have ideas floating around my head that I cant seem to pin down yet, I really should write them down.
    Good luck with all your summer projects.

  3. Thanks, Jen - I did finally get some sleep - it took a few nights though...I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

    @jasperandblue - I use a composition book to get the ideas out of my head and on to paper - sometimes my thoughts are fleeting - so the book helps. Maybe it could help you too? Update me on how it goes! :)
