mark twain

i think of mark twain as a crotchety old thing ... i have no idea if that's right or not ... this quote makes me think i might be wrong about him.

that's me on the left. i have short short short hair now.... though i think my bangs swoosh the other way ... or they are supposed to? .....

this very tiny artwork was done for the ICAD challenge ... index card a day.

beautiful

this pinkypurple card is part of my ICAD ... index card a day .... i'm not following the prompts ... more just doing what i want to do ..... i have doodles that i love ... these half circle ones in particular are soothing to do .... sitting in front of the tv ..... my girls and i have been binge watching the gilmore girls this summer ... we are well into season two .... we all love it. gives me lots of opportunity for card making ....

this elsie de wolfe quote is a favorite .... words to live by ... though, i'm sorta messy ... so the beauty i create might have a dirty laundry pile close by ..... or a stack of "important" papers ... oh well ... it's an ongoing process, this making everything around me beautiful.

ICAD ....

i have been doing a notecard challenge .... from a blogger ... who appears to have thousands of artsy folks working on notecard art ..... the premise being, just do a little thing .... no pressure ... since i always do notecard to tape up all over my kitchen anyway, it was a natural to join in ..... 

here's her blog .... icad is the abbreviation .... and she has an ICAD facebook page that i post on .... and where i get gobs of notecard inspiration .....

 icad ... index card a day. fun stuff. gets you doodling.

pottery in the summer time ....

i went to my last pottery class of the spring semester yesterday ... prepared to clear glaze this one last piece .... and not come back until fall .... but i had such a great class that i went ahead and committed to a summer class ... oops ... so much for slowing down for summer .... i just keep piling things on my plate .... oh well .... at least the plate is pretty and full of colorful houses .....
