While sorting and making decisions on what will go with me on this move and what will not, one thing became painfully clear. I have a lot of art. I don’t want to move it with me so I’m offering a few pieces in my Etsy shop.

In the hospital there was a real art therapist who talked to us about establishing our own world. I kind of had a hard time hearing her because as she spoke I sat at her table filled with markers, paints, crayons, clay and paper. I nearly drooled.
Above my over joyed heartbeat I heard her explain that in our new world we’d decide who can and can’t come to our world. We’d decide if people worked, how they lived, how they got their food and so on. Everything was up to us. When I heard that part assignment I declined to participate. I just messed with clay while others drew a world they felt they could be happy in. Not surprisingly many removed the so-called good idea of capitalism. I found that interesting.
I have another dental appointment tomorrow.
I’m totally behind on blogs and emails but I’m somehow keeping up with orders as well as making a few extra dolls and two new clay sculptures. One doll has been posted on my blog, others will follow shortly. Yasmine, bag holder doll.
Now, onto not so creative stuff.

I have to write about this because someone just made my 5 year old very, very happy. She and I can’t stop smiling. Amy Pink just sold her very first painting ever. She’s given some away before but this is the first time she’s sold one. I’m so happy for her. This is so cool. She’s officially a paid arteest. Continue reading ‘Happy Pink Kid’
I wanted to make something simple, small and quick so as to see results right away. She’s hand stitched and hand painted. I made her little dress and scarf too. This is a little 7 inch doll made in a primitive style. She fits in my purse quite nicely and I get to drag her around wherever I go.

Despite the fact that its totally exhausting to have a young one out for an extended period of time, Amy Pink has been at her painting yet again. She absolutely loves it and finds peace while doing it, so why not? One of the concerns she has about people seeing her work is that they’ll wonder if an adult helped her paint it. I’ll tell you now, no, she did this on her own. If you need a reason for why a 5 year old paints well then think of this, she’s a 5 year old in a 40 year old body. So there you have it, the girl paints quite well and I’m proud of her little self. She puts her heart and soul into her work so I thought I’d brag on her a little bit.
I did it. I did it. I did it. I took my song back. It has taken absolutely forever to be able to say that but I can. When the song came on the radio I’d nearly kill myself to change the channel because it physically hurt to hear it but now it’s on my iPod and I hear it nearly everyday without flinching. I love the harmony but I especially love the words. The idea that life could grow from frozen ground into pure beautiful is what touches me so much.
On my art site I have a new painting called The Rose. (Extra details and close ups are over there too.) The painting shows one single rose in full bloom standing tall on top of a gold and copper tipped mountain. It stands there like a flag marking its ground. Back during the rush for land people use to stick a flag in the ground to mark their claim. The rose stands like a flag to mark its reclaiming of self. It’s a tiny little painting, only 4 inches by 4 inches but crammed into that small piece of paper is a lot of years of cold, lonely need. I don’t know how to put it any other way.
