Who Does She Think She Is?

I came across the website for this film that looks like a great way of getting the story out there of many women artists. Take a look at some of the videos of the artists featured-- I love hearing artists talk about what they make art about and how they got there because it always helps me figure out where my own art is going and how to talk about it.

A few new creative things

 
 
 
 


Now that school is out and a have five minutes of freedom before summer camp starts, I am filling the day with as many creative things as possible. I've set up my studio in the garage and have begun the greiving process involved in leaving this wonderful house. I am working on selling a painting from the show a few weeks ago and hope to get a couple more done before the end of next week to start posting on etsy.

but TODAY-- oh today! After looking at the sparse selection of new machines available in this area for as close to $300 as possible, I found a nice little Kenmore sewing machine in craigslist for a whopping $35! According to a local servicer with now monetary involvement in my decision, Kenmore's are made almost exactly the same as a Janome and other basic sewing machines. And so, although it is no bernina, I am happy to have a small collection of metal peices that will happily aid me in all the sewing endeavors I've been dying to undertake for God-only-knows how long.

Also in honor of my school-work-lesss freedom, I discovered a fabulous new thrift store bursting with vintage delcious wonder. Leaving the school cafeteria this morning after work, the bins of silverware inspired me to create this whimsical little windchimes. After a little conflct with a bottle of gorilla glue , I reign victorious and am enjoying the chimes of spoons and other kitchen acrutaments as I write. One will go with my co-worker to camp on Calalina Island and one will stay right outside my door. hhhmmm. I love love love summer!
