Anyhow, I had to go along since my name is on the loans, but I knew it would be HOURS of boring sitting and number crunching. So I brought a stack of books to read and view to entertain myself. I actually READ through the entire <strong><em>Collage Unleashed <\/em><\/strong>by Traci Bautista. I have been planning to do some projects out of this book for a while, perhaps even ALL of them like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moderngypsy.com\/blog\/?page_id=74\">Eliza is doing<\/a>, and I already did do one for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenworden.com\/category\/art-challenge\/\">Jen&#8217;s challenge<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0last week. Lots of great ideas in there. BUT I really need to organize my studio so that I can get going on some of them. Luckily the\u00c2\u00a0two go hand in hand as Jen&#8217;s Challenge this week is Mono-printing and that is also in Traci&#8217;s book. So if I could only convince myself to clean off my desk!<\/p>\n<p>While reading and waiting I also made it mostly through <strong><em>The Complete Guide to Altered Imagery<\/em><\/strong> by Karen Michel and <strong><em>Free-Style Quilts<\/em><\/strong> by Susan Carlson.<\/p>\n<p>I think I was MOST inspired by the <strong><em>Free-Style Quilts<\/em><\/strong> since fabric is really what I want to be doing&#8230; part of me wants to just purge ALL my paper stuff&#8230; and make more room for fabric stuff. But I still do like to create with paper sometimes and it hurts to thinking of getting rid of so much stuff. I know I could just take it all to school and therefore still have access to it, while letting the kids use it. But even that sounds like a huge chore.<\/p>\n<p>I am working on a &#8220;hand&#8221; series right now&#8230; though it is mostly in development phase right now. While looking through <strong><em>Free-Style Quilts<\/em>,<\/strong> I realized this picture would make a great fabric or paper collage&#8230;. so next will be sketchs and patterns to turn this into some arty goodness&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shebaduhkitty\/75268824\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/43\/75268824_406424cf4d.jpg\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So yesterday Shawn wanted to trade in his car for a new sporty one&#8230; (perhaps a mid-life crisis thing?)
