Face In A Dream

I had a very moving dream the other night. In it I had a vision of a woman, I felt her beauty and her strength. At first, I tried to capture it with a sketch but, I found myself having to paint her to pull more of the dream out of my head.  My mission was to find a way to express what I saw in my dream because dreams are so fleeting.  I am experiencing artistic angst trying to capture the emotion in her eyes.  I hope to complete her sometime this week.  

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Music Notes

Happy Wednesday to all, it has been a beautiful sunny day here in Northern Kentucky.  I'm in the middle of a new project that keeps evolving, and I'm loving the journey.  This is a look into the creative madness of my studio.

What are U up to today

Today I'm in the process of designing a logo for my daughter's school dance.   Make sure to stop by, the messy nest, and don't forget to leave a comment.

Time to get back to work, have a wonderful week.

1st Year Anniversary

My blog is a year old, where has the time gone!!  Life has taught me many things over the past year, encouraging me to grown as a wife, mother, friend, artist, and blogger.  Developing a relevant blog with my unique interpretation is my number one goal.  Whats the point of writing a blog if you don’t have anything to express, share, teach or possibly enlighten others with. 

My blog will continue to be about my family, friends and artwork. l'll  demonstrate varies calligraphic techniques as well.  Next month I will have my first GIVEAWAY, so keep checking my blog for more information.  Here are some highlights of the last year.

Bloom Where You Are Planted

This past weeks class project with Jenny Doh / Cynthia Shaffer was to make an apron using the phrase: “Bloom Where You Are Planted.” I have made a variety of aprons in the past, however this projected required me to free motion stitch the words on to the fabric.

Despite the fact that I already had the fabric I needed, I still ended up at Joann's, looking for inspiration and burlap. While shopping it became more obvious that with each smile, conversation, laughter that transpired a feeling of happiness was blooming in the air.

This is when I came to this conclusion that when you bloom where you are planted happiness is sure to follow.
