I’ve got nothing much to say y’all, nothing much at all.
Here are my latest spheres made from polymer clay. As usual, sorry for the poor photographs. LOL and yes the sunflower in blue is hanging on a rubber band.

I have a few updates on the art blog so go check those out if you’d like. I put up a small painting as a tribute to Bella and updated my Postcard Gallery.

I wrote the entry about resilience in relation to the loss of a friend’s husband to death. My friend’s husband was in the final stages of MS but he also had a seizure disorder. He died in his sleep. In an instant my friend became a 27 year old widow and single mother of a one year old daughter. Her husband was 32 years old. My friend took her one year old and moved to New Albany to stay with friends. I hope to talk to her soon.
I may have written the entry about dealing with the loss and the sadness of her situation but it now applies to the loss of my sweet kitty Bella. About 4:30 this morning she passed away. I never expected her to be one of those cats that lives forever but I figured she’d make it past 4 years old. She’s been sick for awhile. Each winter she sort of hibernates and you can see it in her eyes that she doesn’t feel well. For the last 3 winters I wasn’t sure if she’d make it through, this winter she didn’t.
I’ll be writing a letter to:
Web18 Software Services Limited
New Era House, Mogul Lane, Matunga (W)
Mumbai – 400016, Phone: 6618 4400
Yes, Mumbai. I have to deal with the same man who insists upon snatching my artwork and publishing it in a series of online magazines. It is sad when people will not work for a living but instead snatch the work of others and claim it as their own.
This is called Three Stars and is far from finished. I still feel like I’m in a creative slump so I’m careful to stop and scan before each major step which is why she’s shown with a white background then one with more color.

No thank you to sunrises and sunsets.
Offer to another the peaceful sound of waves over stones.
And feed the masses cake and cookies for
I am full.
I am full.
Let strings and wind instruments lull you to sleep.
Let clouds form your dreams and fireflies deliver your wishes.
Walk your walk down cobble stone paths hand in hand with satisfaction
And take for yourself a full goblet of aged red wine for
I have sung my song, and I have walked
I have walked each step with stillness of heart
And found strength in the light of Your gaze.

Weapon of Choice
Where the pen is mightier than the sword…
By Jennifer B Worthington
Let me tell you, I just got a glimpse of Jennifer’s book and I’m blown away. If you appreciate raw, open, honest, lay it on the line with no sugar coating type writing then this is the book for you. In addition to her wonderful poetry she has her own artwork which also speaks very loudly.
Here it is, the little spot in my house that holds the vast majority of my art supplies. I tend to arrange and focus on my supplies when I’m in a creative slump like now. Argh! It’s killing me!!! This happens from time to time. I can’t seem to draw or paint anything of substance. I can’t see the lines, the shades, light, nothing, nada, zip. It bugs the heck out of me but stressing over the dry spell has always proven a waste of energy. I just have to wait it out. While I wait I”ll arrange and rearrange my supplies. NEVER when I’m in a creative free for all will you see my supplies this organized. So here they are, photos of my little area where art happens.
