Spring is just around the corner ... In fact, my bluebonnets are just beginning to bloom in my yard...there are only 4-5 blooms so far, and it will be another week or so before they are really blanketing the front yard, but they are well on their way.
I am trying to slow down a little bit from the overwhelmingly busy calendar I've been keeping. I was already busy in the beginning of February, but then I attended the annual conference of the American Society of Mosaic Artists... it was quite an inteesting and enlightening week of presentations and activities - including a 3-day workshop with British Mosaicist Martin Cheek... boy, did I learn and learn and learn. Now if only I could find the time to actually WORK on my works in progress.
The conference and the class and the volunteer mosaic work actually did take up a little over a week, and almost immediately afterward, I had that one-on-one class with my sister, who wanted to learn the basics of handmade books. That went well, by the way, and now I'm finishing up a project that I promised my eldest grandchild about 6 months ago!
It's an easy enough project, painting an old-fashioned school child's desk... primary colors, mostly blue, with a red seat and yellow back. Ought to be colorful enough for a happy 4 year old. It has to be done by this Friday, but the blue and red areas are already done. Hopefully I'll get it done, and then spend half the weekend traveling, so maybe "next week" I can work on my mosaic. It's always tomorrow, or next week or next month. Just keep pushing things out farther and farther . . .
. . . is this any way to make Art?
