I know... I know! It's been forever since I've posted, and I'm sorry about that! Over the last few months, life has been all sorts of happy and sad things rolled up together, but let's focus on the happy, shall we? My youngest will be walking down the aisle in just a few weeks to marry a wonderful young man! As I have been grappling will all of the emotions that seem to come with this experience and "empty nesting," I have also been helping to coordinate, "Connections," a new show for the Art Quilters with Altitude at the Sluice in Colorado Springs. I will have four pieces in the show and despite how busy I've been lately, it was fun to try some new things. :) I combined some of my mixed media techniques with my fiber art. Here are quick snap shots of two of the four pieces: The show will run from August 4th-25th, so if you are in the area, please stop by!

Do you ever look around at everyday, normal things and see something different? Something artistic? It could be a neat combination of colors. Like this: Or this: Other times, I notice the craftsmanship of something that I normally wouldn't. For example, look at this grating on the sidewalk. I found this down town and was struck by how plain the modern gratings are. Now, they are just lines and squares. Both styles are functional, but the one below is definitely more attractive! Sometimes I just have to look up to find something beautiful. In this case, I looked up through the sunroof of my car on a rainy day: What will I do with these pictures?
I'm not sure. Will they inspire me to create something, sometime? Maybe. Until then, I will remind myself to not get so busy that I miss the beauty in the things around me, the things below me, and the things above me! |
