zing, zip, zebra, zap, zoo, zealous

tra la la .... 

i've been art busy ... 

i had two deadlines that loomed large .... one was an inventory for a show coming up ... and one was a submission for a book .... both are emailed and ticked off my list .... whew .... 

now, i have to get to painting a bit more zealously (everyone, use that word in the next 24 hours ... it's a good one ) ... i need to get painting more zealously so that some of the pieces ON the inventory that aren't quite done will be truly and actually done ... then, i need to paint the sides, add the hardware, make sure they are all signed, and then deliver them .... whew .... it's this busy, non painting  bit of being an artist that i'm not so enthused about (enthused, not a good word choice ... don't use it) .... in a dream (that i don't actually have) i am a famous artist with sweet minions who long to paint the canvas edges, hardware my pieces, make sure they are all signed and stamped, and figure out how to upload art pics that are too many gigs because they know what the difference is between a mega,  a giga,  a byte and a bit .... and what to do when you are meant to send a jpg and it isn't .... 

whew .... 

tomorrow i have pottery and i'm quite excited about the pieces i've been making this quarter ... i think i'll bring home a couple finished pieces, glaze a couple, and start fresh with a couple more .... anyone need some pottery? i've been giving it away as birthday gifts lately .... 

tra la la ....  do something artsy soon ... and don't forget to do it zealously .... am i even using it correctly? oh ... do it with zeal ... that's better ....i guess i just like z words .....and you?

Z words are good......

Why not paint the edges as you go along? With the same colors as what is on the face of the canvas? Just roll over the edge with the collage paper.....that is what I do.....easy as pie!
