Everything Aqua Blue


Last October, my friend Deena gave me a gift for my birthday and informed me that the gifts would continue throughout the year...about every two months! So yesterday, I received yet another gift: A gold bag with everything Aqua blue...one of my favorite colors. I love it all and can't help but wonder how these stones, beads, buttons and all will find their way into my life and art. The socks I will wear tomorrow!
Studio: I've been framing and will be dropping off two pieces for an upcoming show/event. The local paper's headline: "Wild At Art " More than 400 artists unite in a stunning county-wide exhibit where assemblage meets collage. Galleries, museums are all participating. My work was juried into an Art League Gallery and the opening will be in March. This time I will take my camera!

  5. Mary Ann,
    What a thoughtful and creative friend you have. Seeing this beautiful collection of textures supporting one colour is yummy. I have a friend whose ultimate compliment in such situations would be "I could lick it". What's left to say? You made my day by posting this little bit of heaven.

  6. Deena rocks! The color is the bomb! What do the socks say on them? Also - kudos to you for the miles you are covering with Willow and Leslie. I'm walking my way thru Lent - 40 days - that should do something for me & the dog. Ha!

  19. Cynthia, I will really try to take my camera...not sure about pictures of myself. I just started wearing glasses (no more contacts) and all my pictures give me a BIG nose! ha

    Babs, Thank you for your good wishes, group shows are a mixed bag for me...sometimes I'm sorry I got picked but this one should be a good one showing collage and assemblage.

    Diane, Welcome back from your wonderful trip. I will take photos.

    Maggie May, Thank you and thanks for stopping by...I will visit your site!

    Willow, Your right, aqua is a dreamy color. I think in clothing it looks good on everyone.
