The Eleventh Hour
I tried in a very nonchalant way to direct all payments of art to my PayPal account because I was losing my Etsy shop. It was going to be suspended on the 21st because I wasn’t able to pay them $8 in fees to keep that shop open. In one way I thought it would […]

Just a moment
I need a minute to gather myself. I need to get some things on this website fixed and update galleries. This includes scanning new art. No more poetry blogs for a few days. I’m going to miss out on art journal pages, dinner for one, awesome photos of insects and comics. In addition to the […]
12:45pm We had a packed therapy session with Morton in front most of the time. Current feelings Nervous. Lonely. Worried. Tired. 4:17pm I slept after therapy until 2:45pm. I’m pretty tired these days. In therapy we discussed the need to be emotionally supportive instead of abusing myself emotionally. I can support myself emotionally by being […]
I’d like to discuss how I come up with the prices for dolls, original acrylics, original oil paintings, large art, small art, etc. I had no clue what to charge when I first started offering art on Etsy or right here, however online guides have been helpful.

Dolls. Bears. Frogs. Birds
I’m having difficulties with the shoes for the doll I made. I refuse to paint them on because I could see me spilling paint on her little dress. I don’t even know where to get dark blue or black socks. If I did, I’d leave it at that. Soo, that’s the hold up with the […]
I’ve had the itch to sew for a good month. I’ve finally gathered the dolls I’d like to complete and started adding their final touches. This young lady is a handmade African American rag doll with a hand painted face and handmade clothes. She’s a lovely girl, a shelf sitter girl to be added to […]

Dry Brush. Dry Bones
There’s only one way to return to art and that is to jump in head first. Grab a brush, choose 3 colors, start the clock, stop thinking and dive in. I’ll scratch, smudge, layer and move paint until the bell sounds. I can’t see any other way to start painting again. I’m accustomed to creative […]
