Dad's Tree


She agonized over what to get for her Dad. The answer was in her head and came out through her hands...

Adaptability


The wind does not break a tree that bends...A power line won't break a branch that grows around it.

Cleaning House


Sometimes she has to clean house (studio actually) and mind before sitting down to create.

Green Eyed Boy...Stop and Take the Photo


She was tying her shoes, about to leave for work. He came into the kitchen, looked up at her and time stood still. Her heart melted as their eyes met. He is unconditional love covered in fur. She whipped out the camera, and as she took the photo she noted the pattern and color of his eyes so perfectly matched that of the linoleum. She gave him a treat and patted him gently. She left for work smiling, feeling warm despite a nip in the air.

Looking Up!


11:11?...New moon?...whatever...it's certainly never boring! I'm grateful for all the love & support from my friends & family. Just because the path has some twists and turns doesn't mean it wont take you where you want to go.(I woke up and wrote that down one morning...was it my Midwayer perchance?)

Experimentation...


She often needs to experiment, not think about product, and just savor the process!

They're Ready!!!



The artwork was done a while ago. Prying the words out of her (inscribed on the back of the cards) proved to be a challenge...I'll make her post the rest of them. I won't let her use the humidity as an excuse! She's been rearranging her studio of late.

Don't Laugh Chris...



Her second scrapbook page...I didn't have to twist her arm as much this time. Lilliana made everything alright.

The way I Felt...



The wonderful frog pin was made by Artistgirl's amazing friend Yetta.
(I'm sure Artistgirl made the purse just to showcase the pin) Yetta used polymer clay and Distress Powders. Visual pleasure beyond words. Thanks Yetta!

Swirling Tree...



This was painted with Adirondack Acrylic Dabber Paint onto a wooden box she carries her oil paints in. No surface is safe…

National Goof Off Day...



Today is National Goof Off Day! She felt goofy today. This painting is based on a photo...and yes, Serge was looking at the world from a different point of view. We should all try it sometimes!

Polymer Muse...



She’ll never capture my true inner beauty but she does try…a portrait of me in polymer!

Love to make boxes from UTEE! Too much fun...on second thought you can never have too much fun!!!

Making room for change…


She’s been getting rid of stuff lately. Sometimes clutter is literal & figurative. Silence & space have renewed her spirit.

Chocolate (Made from UTEE) & Fuzzy Slippers...


Artistgirl needed a break this week. I let her goof off a bit. Sometimes toxic people & situations sap the joy from life. She’s coming out of her cocoon.

Playtime


Time for me to play with my muse friends. It’s so much fun! Ever wonder where a muse gets her/his inspiration? Playtime is essential!

Time to Relax


She needed some down time. I didn’t fight her. I pushed her last week. We were both exhausted. Inspiration, not obsession is my mission.

Let's talk about sex...


Ms. Chris and Ms. Artistgirl have interesting conversations. Sometimes the topic changes faster than the speed & direction of a ball in a Chinese ping pong match. A few questions arose last night and they chatted away for quite some time. When did your muse make its first appearance? Do you know what your muse looks like? What sex is your muse? Ms. Artistgirl knows the answers to all of those questions. Ms. Chris knows more than she realizes. Honestly, all that stuff doesn’t matter. What really matters is that you listen to your muse and make the time to create.

Love to Friends



To all friends & family who inspire and delight…THANK YOU! You make my job easier. Much love to you from Ms. Muse.

Cactus Flower

Warmer weather. Above freezing finally. It's a lot easier to motivate. She needs more time...I wonder, manipulating time, could it be that hard? Would a fairy know? Maybe I'll knock on a couple of pretty little doors...

Ahhh, that's better!



Back to my old self again and feeling pretty good. I’m whispering in her ear and she’s actually listening. She listens well when she’s tired, tee, hee, hee….ten minutes before bedtime…or, oh…oh… this is the best…right as she’s drifting off to sleep and she has to wake up turn on the light!!! I’ve posted a photo of the journal she made last week...
