my creative space . a long list

after 2 weeks with hardly any time at my desk i feel like i have a to-do list as long as my arm ~ just have to make sure i actually do some things on the list and have fun with it rather than stress about the list itself!
i'm making moo cards {yay ~ almost 100 sales and i'm officially making business cards!}, making work for new prints, making another set of gift cards {which i had started back then} and making new pendants/brooches. i feel i really should be taking photos, as it's a bright spring day here! but now, just having a little lunch and playing along :)

hope you are enjoying your space today. visit kirsty for more spaces and to play along.

ps. this is how today started out!

friday . new drawing

what an icy cold but slightly sunny friday! thanku for the well wishes re my neck ~ it's fixed but a bit sore . . .
i did this new drawing/painting this afternoon ~ it's called 'the conference' ~ if you live in the area and you have something you need to say, pull up a chair!
the little ones have a new layer but they are mainly in here to show that there was some light today, which is worth celebrating.
hope you are having a great friday :)

found & finished

i often finish or almost finish work and have them sit in my folder for a little while while i get used to them or decide how i feel about them. it's part of making new images for me – sometimes they gel with me as i'm working and i just have a knowing/familiar feeling about them and other times i need some time to get to know them!

. . . here is community of peaceful souls who love to watch the grasses move in the breeze and the colours slowly change from the loungeroom window . . .
they're in the shop :)

** my treasury was on the front page this morning!

untitled . friday

have been wanting to list these ones but haven't as i 've not been able to title them – and it's making me tense! i think a title is a good thing {even tho mine are mostly obvious}. and i like a description that gives artwork more of a face/depth or helps the viewer understand the approach, or at least gives insight into the material process. but then my other thought is that they could/should easily speak for themselves.

these ones are a taking me in a new direction in terms of collage but they touch on the same ideas as my drawings. i guess they are about inhabiting this planet in one way or another and my wish that there could be enough room for every personality, and also that we could respect the planet a lot more {too much to condense into something that isn't mushy}.

i like to be taken somewhere new but still feel that untitled means unfinished! what do you think re titles?

happy friday to u! am going out tonite, very exciting :)
