February ... Celebrate Love ... and History

February is the month of Love & the celebration of Black History. For me, neither is ever confined to just one month. I celebrate love everyday - and tell those who I love, I Love you, every day. I celebrate my history, every day, making sure to speak with my son each day about 1 little known fact regarding our history.

Whether you are African American or not - embrace your history and share it with those that you love.

Painters Block BreakThrough

Hi Bloggers!

I hope everyone has been having a creative New Year so far. While anticipating snow that never came, I decided to try and finish this piece that I'd titled Painters Block. I started it in Oct .. but put it aside when I'd reached an impasse.

I decided to paint the final face on the corner, I felt that it would somehow add dimension ... and while I'm not so sure I'm finished with the piece, I feel as if I'm close.

I'm going back and forth right now as to whether to leave her bald, or add hair using the same technique as I did with the corkboard project.

So while the smidgen of snow we got last night has already melted, I at least accomplished a little something!LOL

Bringing In The New Year Creatively

I decided to stick to my pre-new year promise to myself, and be as creative as I could. I needed something REALLY big that I could sink my teeth into ... and I spotted a spare cork board that I'd brought home from work before the holidays. This is what I worked on all day yesterday and into the New Year early this morning. I made it for work ... the mini white board is actually an extra ceramic tile. The days of the week are Scribbles glitter words.

A Jump On The New Year

This week I decided to jump start my New Year creatively, and work on some projects I'd put to the side before the holidays. I began a painted journal a while back, An Artful Journey, and after a couple of false start, I've picked it back up again. I may do another video as I begin the pages ... but for right now, I wanted to give you a peek at my progress. Anyone else out there getting a creative jump start?...or are you still recovering from the holidays?

There's A Give-Away Going On...
