090909 Day 16

Good Cleaning today. Did wash, and got everything off the bed in my DD's room. Still have to attack the dining room table. Why is the dining room table such a paper magnet? (I know I have asked that before!)

Talked to Barbara today! Good to hear her voice. She is in Monrovia CA. I was worried about the fires out there. She told me they have heat, smoke, but no ash and there is no immediate fire threat. She is working on her card business. Way to go girl! Best tip for a great cheap treat---McDonalds Sundae on the dollar menu. Sounds good to me!

These are the layouts that I did for Zoobilee in Madison on Monday and Tuesday.

Off to do a couple of collages.

Today

Today is the day after the art sale.

The art sale was fun and I talked to many friends and customers. I didn't get to do my 5 x 5 collages today, or yesterday or the day before that. What I did get to do was create a bunch of prodotypes (is that spelled right? is this even a word?) for the Madison Zoobilee (I will post those tomorrow). I also put together a Sailor Valentine that I submited tonight to Cloth Paper Scissors magazine. All is good! 

A random shot of my portfolio.

Here is the box top that I worked on tonight.

For background information google Sailor Valentine images. This is a very loose representation of a Sailor Valentine.

This is the inside of my box. There is a cut out watercolor on the left side. She really isn't part of the project.

And this is a cut out watercolor girl with an octopus leg on her dress. I have no idea where she came from or how I got there.

Day 12 I think

   

It's amazing how a little thing like doing a collage everyday really gets into your soul. I didn't do a collage yesterday and almost got up in the middle of the night to be accountable to myself. Today we cleaned the garage. I packed for the art sale and did 2 collages today.

I feel so much better!

The Real Reason I am doing this

Notes from Day Four that got lost in my blog world.

Okay the word is out. I have a secret. 40 of days of collage is the fun part but the real down to business part is 40 days of decluttering. I had to back track and clean.

I set the timer for an hour. AND GUESS what I did it.

Day 11 September 3

Woo Hoo! I made my reservations to fly to Portland. I used Kayak.com and found cheap tickets. Bought them directly from United. Of course they are not nonstop I will be spending time in the Denver Airport on the way out and on the way home. I like the Denver airport good shopping there!

Yesterday I did some deep cleaning and didn't make it to the studio. Today I made it to the studio at 1:00 but didn't do any cleaning. I did two collages today. One is for today and one is for yesterday.
