Snow Globe

I think Snow Globe is finally done. I'm waiting for all the fabric/paper to dry. I think I am happy with it. Really won't be able to tell til tomorrow.
oh, well.....no one reads this crap anyway.....

Make it stop

I just want it to end. All of this doubt. I have foreclosed on my house. Sure, I might be getting the job of my dreams back, but my painting "talent," is killing me. Sometimes, I just hate it. I feel like such a fucking hack. Who wants to look at paint splatters on wood with pictures, fabric, and shitty poetry on it?? Fuck.........I just feel sick tonight.

Art Nouveau and the Snow Globe

I looooooooooovvvvveeee art nouveau. I decided to do a little photoshoot of me in art nouveau style dress for my next piece called Snow Globe. I took them all myself because I'm a very shy person. I was even hiding from my poor husband. Anyways, it is not because of vainess that I use pictures of me for my art. I do it because my art is VERY personal. I want that connection to me. Especially when most of my poems surrounding my art are about mental illness that I have battling my whole life. It is a way of soothing myself. I can't explain it.... Here are a few. I will definitely post the finished piece when it is done, but it will take a while.




(note: I look away from the camera in a lot of my pictures because I am 75% blind in my right eye. If I look at the camera straight, my eye is not.)

Wuthering Heights

I am finally done! After much of walking away from it angry, thinking it looks like crap, to walking back to it thinking it still looks like crap. I decided to post it. It consists of three peices, that are to be hung next to each other horizontal. There are excerpts from the book, from both Catherine and Heathcliff, that have been cut up into three parts for the collection to work. Like I said, here it is, and I hope it doesn't still look like crap.

I am nervous about the reception of this one a little. ....sigh

Macaroon Adventure

It was Friday so me and my friend Chris went out to lunch and planned to paint in his garage "art studio" like we do every Friday. I warned him that I wanted to go on a macaroon adventure. I had a doctors appointment on Thursday, and once in awhile, I realize something like "Hey. I've seen pictures of that confectionary, but have not tried that." Then I have this crazy drive to try it that day. One day, it was creme brulee, and that was a good day. So, I knew macaroons were a good idea. I always saw pictures of these pretty cakes, and of course, went to my local well known bakery. Wouldn't you know it?........they were out. Crushed, I got a Cuban meat pie and sulked. But, then I realized there is a fine foods store in the rich part of town that I could try. Yes, that would be it! Thus, I made Chris take me to that store, and low and behold, (not fresh baked :/ ), but frozen macaroons that you could thaw out in 20 minutes in room temperature. There were 12, and were flavors chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, and pistachio. We went to lunch, and let them thaw out in the car while we ate. When we got back in, I tasted little soft cookie goodies of heaven. Chris decided that the somewhat dreaded "macaroon adventure," wasn't such a bad idea after all. So, Home Depot, here we come to buy wood. Long story short, a large chuck of very heavy lumber fell on my left foot. My little toe is broken, and that side is swollen and not pretty colors. I limped back over to Chris', and worked more on my Wuthering Heights peice. Had pizza with my husband, and came home. My day was weird. And, me and my friends ate a whole box of macaroons. I guess that makes it not that bad.


Note* (how I wish these were the ones that I ate.) The REAL FRENCH macaroons pictured above I found on a google image search.

Some of my art....

Here is just a little pic of some of my art pieces. I am currently addicted to painting and poetry. I have thrown these two loves together.
