Source of Inspiration

What inspires me? Random things at various times...A couple of weeks ago I was watching a nature show when I saw one of the most beautiful creature I have eves seen...The sea slug comes in a variety of colors and shapes...Each more interesting that the next...They are poisonous and their colors and markings let predators know that they wont make a good snack...Precisely these colors and marks are what made me so happy to gaze at them...Prompting me to run to my computer and google "sea slugs"...

As I looked through all these amazing photos of these tiny yet dangerous creatures I fell in love...The colors were like Id never seen before...Brighter than any paint I have in my stash...The patterns on their bodies are something only the Divine can create...I was instantly happy and alive...I must paint these preferably in a large scale...I settled for 5x7's and have yet to complete one since the joy was short lived...

Dont have the patience for games

Normally I don't have patience for games of the card or box type...So I find myself with a set of Chess that just sits there...The board is long lost but these beautiful wooden pieces live on in their box...Ive been meaning to put them to good use after being inspired by a Roman I met that I have known for years but wasn't aware of the fact that he was a Roman...

One night I took my dremel drill out and before going to sleep collected all the pieces and findings to build the necklaces that I had been planning in my head for weeks...Drilled the holes on the heads of each piece and went to be happy and excited...Once build I realized how heavy these necklaces were...Wore them around and loved the weight and how they rested on my chest...Job well done I must say...

Check the link to see them in my Etsy shop...

Its been a while....

Its been a while I say... I have slacked in every direction....I am tired I am bored I am extreemly creative right now...But cant paint for the life of me..All I make is little things here and there...Cant keep track of anything...Cant find my long lost focus...Cant even find reason...I have become a skeleton of my self as a person and artist...More like and exoskeleton...

The amount of little things I make is nice but I find myself making for no reason...Hoping Id find some light to awaken me..None of that will ever happen I have to move my ass out and take charge of what I have lost...I still probably wont paint...But I will have made something outta this talent that once was just a thing and now has to become the thing to keep me eating...Because office work is not for me...emotionally and physically it kills me...

I wont get help since that is the norm in my world...As I rarely ask for help...So self sufficient that I have voided every chance in life to ask for help...The can that held any chance of asking for help is empty...Its gonna be tough considering I have to learn new techniques and possibly go away more than I have already...But it will pay off in the end...This mode of communicating will be the one...Its going to be my new habit... And that's going to be hard since I suck at keeping habits...

Here are some of my latest little crafts...Pine cones and acorns transformed into wearable flowers...Some will have colors other will stay natural....

back to work

I've been lost and stuck all in one deep dark hole with no artistic anything passing through my brain. But now I have recovered and all is back to normal more or less. Here is a new piece I made today...Enjoy

Pulp does a shrinkydink

After showing the Pulp Awareness plaques to a friend she asked if they were pins. The light went on and the ideas flowed. If I can make large molds I most certainly can make little molds. After a brief hunt in my kitchen I found my tools and began to make my little molds. Cute is just the simple word I use to describe them, they are 50 cent like mold that were soon to be adorning my clothes and hopefully someone else. These are the prototypes and there are more in the works. I had never though of the idea of making prototypes. I usually just make it and perfect it later but never considered making a test run. And now I have learned from my mistakes.

 The photo quality is not that great but its clear....Enjoy

 This is the newest Pulp Shrinkydink. A gift for a Breast Cancer Patient. The back says FAITH.
I hope it brings comfort in tough times.
