But Maaa – I don’t wanna ….

I’m on such a productive roll in the studio – I don’t wanna go back to work, darn it! [Arms crossed with pouty face!] I have pictures:  Finally got some badge reel photos taking in prep for listing in the shops:     I have the coffin loaded (and RUNNING!) for new bowls (slumping): I …

So far – so good …

Cuz INSOMNIA is my friend!!! It’s all good!  I’ve started my peacock bracelet … it was touch and go there for a bit, as I struggled to interpret/decipher ‘beading language’ and FOCUS really old eyes on tiny ‘lil beads, but I like what I’ve got going:      I’ve glued my peacock mosaic – just waitin’ …

Possessed …

But, you know, in a good way!  Came upon a few inspiring images and caught ‘a fever’.  I’m working on a peacock platter, fused mosaic style.  Here’s the rough lay-out.  Now to decide on the mosaic border – clear irid, pale yellow irid or white iridescent glass … I’m leaning towards the white irid. And …

Producing in the Studio … AKA The Picture Post

I’ve been busy with some studio projects … My mosaic butterfly is done.  Now to decide what to do with it – frame it, make a mobile, hang it as a sun-catcher, or leave as is …? (Not the best photos, but the second one does show off some of the iridescent clear glass around …

Umm … Happy Nurse’s Week!

Wow – this weekend kicked some butt (namely mine) … From young adults on hallucinogenics to extended family with unsafe vitals, throw in a fellow co-worker getting SICK (requiring-ER-care sick!) to bike accidents that won’t soon be forgotten – all intermixed with ‘FLU’ complaints … I am SO GLAD my ‘tour’ is over! (My week …

Pressed Flowers …

Cuz, you know – I had to look into it.  Pretty cool!  Quick, easy and should look great in my papers … I walked around the yard, collecting bits of Spring flowers and interesting leaves: Then popped my samples into this ‘lil thing (Microfleur press), nuked them for less than a minute … and Voila!  …

Funk, but workin’ on it …

Had my monthly DARN SANE meeting this morning … Arrrgh!  People are evil and sick!  I hate knowing this … Now, locked in my studio … I am determined to work through the mood-funk.  This means Adele is blasting on the stereo, my most inspiring photo slide show (art/project ideas) is playing on the screen …

WWU … WHINE

I don’t do whining.  Can’t stand it.  When a voice hits a certain octave, my lip snarls – all on it’s own.  This is not a good ER nurse trait … I worked with a great crew this weekend, and it was pointed out several times how much more tolerant they are … Hmmm.  I’ll …

Long day …

but ending it in my studio – so, you know – a GOOD day. Started in the early A.M., so that my curly hair could air dry, and I could TRY to look presentable (still haven’t figured out why I bother …???).  Anyway, had to go to a social function related to my SANE job.  …

Trumped! I win …

Caught in my cross-hairs and so TOTALLY mine!!! I’ve got DH (umm – by the short hairs) … He’s completely PIQUED by my planted-seed of building an ‘L’ (addition) on the studio. This means more ‘downstairs’ room for him … AND – more to the point – MORE studio room for ME!!! When will it …
