Another first Sunday in Shell Beach

This was the best day weather-wise yet in Shell Beach....and I got 2 paintings done! ...except for some "tweaking". I had no "slaves" to help me. Jill wanted to sleep in! Imagine that! And Earl has been called away on business. So I bought a trolley to help me with the hauling. A dolly just isn't the right thing....well the trolley is not the best either. It is not fond of the uneven ground...like grass. But it was still better than hand carrying some of the boxes I use for display etc. I sold some small items and of course ran right over and bought a tiki....you will understand (those who know me) when I get a photo of it posted...Flickr friend Tara...I think he looks like some of you images....Anyway...maybe this is why I never make any money.

Lots of art challenges are coming up: Fabric ATC's are due over in "Tracie-land", a bookarts show in Ventura that I plan to enter, ATC group is meeting Wed, some birthday gifts, I just got the latest RR self portrait journal ...it's owner is LK Ludwig (It is amazing! I am definitely challenged with this one), I have a tin challenge due for the CALL girl's reveal, Carol and I are putting the details together for our Sept. altered book class and things are really heating up for the Queen of Arts Benefit Show and Sale in Nov......and I need to lose 50 lbs. by Aug 19 for my class reunion....right....hand me another cupcake will ya...



Oh and I am working on some new creations and more of the old stuff too for Imagine in Santa Barbara.





Here is some fabric I painted for scissor maidens.
