Keep on a moving
I keep moving forward with my artwork. I am now using Twitter as "convo etsy" and Facebook "Convo Etsy" and I even have decided to start expanding more. What if an artist decided to make all items from scratch. I mean from the bare minimum. I know how to make paper therefore make the paper. Next I need to purchase pigments and or learn how to make paint or some sort of writing utensil. Would people flock to see artwork that an artist totally did from scratch?? I wonder how many would care.

Enjoying Papermaking-- Happy Mother's Day
I have been enjoying papermaking in my senior year of college. I have also been showcased in The Gordon Park's Gallery. It's been a wonderful year thus far. Today is Mother's Day and I needed to blog HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all women.
Around eight years ago one of my lovely sisters gave me a Mother's Day card. She new how wonderful I was as an aunt and that someday she new I would be a wonderful Mother.
I am a Mother now and so to all the future Mom's, Mom's, Aunt's, Grandmother's, Female Neighbors, and Special People that play Motherly roles in your lives and others do not forget them.
Today is a wonderful day and as my nephew thinks and told my sister "Today is kids day also. Can we go out shopping for a new toy." said by my Nephew S.

WOW it's been a while
I decided to add myself to talenthouse and do some work on there. It has been a crazy year with school almost ending and the beginning of so much in my art life. Recently papermaking has taken over my life followed by painting. Now I enjoy painting on canvas but seriously painting on paper that one presses themselves is so super awesome. Words can not explain the use of paper making in the sense of wanting to live in the book shop and making paper and having a great hydrolic press (which I wish I owned) to press it out. Papermaking has changed the way I do art and thus expanding myself into 3d objects... I made a book from scratch literally mad the paper and put the time and effort to follow through on it and make it my own. It is so amazing to say I made a book...

Feeling Paintings! SUPER PRODUCTIVE DAY!
Today, December 7, 2011 has been an extremely productive day. I am currently working on my third, yes, third painting. I feel at ease currently as I am done with classes for the semester and able to focus on what I want to focus on. I am still using monochormatic work and using my creativity and a feeling as I paint these paintings. I feel a sense of love and thoughtfulness when I think of someone as I paint my feelings about them.
This first painting is red and is currently in progress and is inspired by a rose painting I did years back. It is more of what I feel in the past and in my present state. The size is 24 by 30 on canvas using acrylic paints. (a bit larger than the others- painting is so much better in real life than this picture- picture does no justice yet as it's in progress)
The middle one is a feeling titled "Mark" as a dear friend of mine is in his first year of teaching, as he is trying- that is a feeling. Hence the triangular figures. I thought of him as I was working on this painting. I think he could associate well with this 16 by 20 canvas using acrylic paints.
The last one is of my wonderful mother- titled "Mom" I thought of her the whole time I painted this painting. Again this is also a 16 by 20 canvas using acrylic paints.

Feelings of uneasy-ness
Was treasured on etsy by an unknown party.
This at times is a bit uneasy when someone I do not know uses my artwork to hopefully sell there's and others. Does one take it as a compliment, perhaps as there are times where selling artwork is hard to do. It is even harder to sell artwork on a website of all art- ie etsy.com- which I am on- convo.etsy.com--- I have had other feelings as of late...
I recently had my oil changed and on my way home my car had car problems and the muffler completely feel off of my car. I asked when taking the car from the car place how the tires were, the oil, if it was good to go, any problems the machnic saw? I thought I was a smart consumer in asking them. The manager informed me, nope nothing wrong at all. So off I went and not even a mile away from the place bam tail pipe gone- thanksgiving plans changed. All in all my feelings were almost unsettling. I pulled over and called the shop. He said he could fix it but not today. Really, I thought to myself. Here you tell me nothing is wrong with the vehicle and this happens. I was an angry consumer. I called a different shop, and got the repairs done days later at a different shop.
So the new shop, quoted me 500.00 - I was like no!!! I said how about in the 150 range as I would not pay that kind of money for this vehicle to be fixed as I just paid a ton for my husbands vehicle for brakes and everything else. So then I said, "Isn't there a universal part." All of a sudden the manager new, I new cars and said, "let me check." He called me back and low and behold there was. So the 500 went to 275 he said, when I picked up the car it was 282 and some change but whatever right.
So I show up, pay for the repairs with the lovely credit card. Talk to the manager as I have never been to this place before. He showed me what was wrong and why I needed a gasket and pipe. Then I told him I apprechiate him for looking for the universal part and saving money. In a way, I did not as I new there should be a replacement, but whatever. He checks me out. I tell him I volunteer at a homeless shelter, go to school, and have a child. All of a sudden he hands me a free oil change. Now is that his way of saying to me thanks for volunteering at a shelter or his way of feeling bad that it cost more than the 275 as discussed on the phone, who knows. I am not sure all I know is that I got a free oil change which by the time my car needs one done will be lost somewhere in my home or expired. All in all I still have not found a good automotive place to take my car too, I miss my old repair guy in Saint Cloud, MN- Family run and operated Kennedy Transmission. I can honestly say, he was the best repair guy I had! There are days where I feel like driving to his shop even though he is hours away instead of having someone here over charge and over price me and be dishonest with me.
