You have to allow enough time for everything and you have to be PATIENT. You have to expect delays, crying children, rude people and tired people. It’s all part of the process. </div><div><br></div><div>So recently i flew to Albuquerque on Southwest. The minute i got to the airport, there was problem after problem. Again, i understand and knew to be patient and try and go with the flow. </div><div><br></div><div>Trying to check in, there, of course, was only one agent - so that took forever. Then a SW worker called me for my turn but to use the kiosk thingy, which was NOT WORKING. Meanwhile others behind me in line were finishing up and going there way while i stood there waiting for someone to fix the machine. That’s when my body temp went up a few degrees. Finally i announced loudly that i would be next with the agent and dragged my crap back to the line. </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_e58b_4c33_2c94_286f" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDgnmO38FAUpU996lBmhcxrBxakeGWvbBKjdBpex5LxiWOeFRoAAb8HC1GKTj05JBtWuADaJ-8CvlUM366y89m3ILHLK20JAE06U05PL5-8-ufj9iQbkzZYVr98IA2ba2_gk1lI8flC9lx/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br> </div><div>Finally got my boarding pass, which was on my phone- but i needed my luggage checked. Great. Head down to security (everyone’s favorite !) but i have TSA pre approval, which makes it so much easier. Go get in the TSA line, security hasn’t even opened yet as it’s early. So we are waiting in line and the lines are getting long. Finally an agent saunters over and tells us, “ no TSA pre check today, go get in the main line”. Wtf? Okay, well you’ve been sitting there watching us line up and now we have to go to the end of the main HUGE line snaking around the corner? There goes my patience out the window. If there’s no precheck- then post an agent at the line to direct people immediately. How hard is that? </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_3a6b_fa82_fc02_56ef" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAvNhyeLWk0tM2N-L5wfX1OGQJME83LJGJW9WM8bShGtSItcTH0aJhAWetvM8h_phNcswGC5vxPwRXyPg4QMvFyvNSlrUMaT8s9NwDCPsBn4TU_usSSxplNhGeTXe7ywiYilws5m9SDKor/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br> This kind of public frustration is even more annoying because there is no control. You just have to do as they say and keep your mouth shut. The TSA employees at Newark anyway must be told in their job descriptions “don’t smile”, “don’t be helpful” “act like you could give a shit about people”, etc. So we merge into the long line and no one is happy about it. </div><div><br></div><div>Finally get up to hand my boarding pass with license to check point Charlie and they open the precheck lane and all these people just breeze on by!!!! OMG. Really? I’ve been standing in that line for an hour. Seething at this point. Where’s their communication? </div><div><br></div><div>Get thru and head down to the gates only to find out that agent didn’t write the gate on my boarding pass and none of the gates have their info yet. I have no idea which is mine. Go back a little ways and find an agent and ask, “how do i know what gate to go to?” Quite possibly the least helpful employee of the year was this man. Sitting on his ass, he says,” go down there and ask an agent. “. Really? You think i didn’t think of that? There is not one agent down there at the gates. Nada BECAUSE I LOOKED ALREADY. (That was me yelling at that at him). #%€{¥!!!</div><div><br></div><div>That’s when i tweeted TSA to tell them what i thought of their employees. Finally after milling around the gate area for about 30 minutes, they illuminated their signs with info. And nothing is open. Can’t get coffee or food.</div><div>Boarding finally begins and the guy in front of me was probably related to a sloth. I just want to get on the plane and sit down. He’s just putzing around, on his phone, clueless. Finally like a car at the traffic light, i had to honk at him to move it along. </div><div><br></div><div>He gets to the end on that breeway to the plane and then holds us up by finishing his coffee. (Wasn’t he lucky to get one?) and he’s draining every last drop, so i finally said screw it, and went around him. This is when i first encountered the flight attendant that would really test my patience for the rest of the day. She asked me what boarding number they were at and i said, 1&2 me being two and sat down. Then sloth man finally shows up and she wants to know his number and he says 1. Oh! Well here we go- she comes over and wants to know why i cut in front of him. Seriously? And is this really important? With gritted teeth, i said, because he just spent 5 minutes draining his beverage, so i went around him. (Why am i explaining this?) </div><div><br></div><div>During beverage service she never brought me my coffee. Everyone else got their beverage. Finally almost an hour later she brought me a cold coffee saying she got sidetracked. She also yelled at me when i got up to go to the bathroom saying someone else was waiting. (You can’t wait in line for the bathroom anymore. You have to wait for the “no one is in the bathroom sign” to light up before you can come up). Uh, I’m pretty sure everyone is waiting for a chance to go The bathroom. Whatever lady. </div><div><br></div><div>As we neared Chicago, fog prevented us from landing and we were diverted to Lexington, where we sat on the tarmac for an hour an a half!!!!! We weren’t allow to stand up, go to the bathroom, nothing. “All against regulations because we are on the tarmac”. Cramping leg, Hot as hell, kid behind me kicking my seat and i have to really pee again. Not to mention the woman next to me was a total space hog and was all in my space. I’m claustrophobic and really felt like i would lose my shit. </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_364f_3444_acc9_c173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcIg9HXPOb1pIBTFPBOfacZKw6e3btEr2dttjUXUUixFrhh8_UKRQlh9gxqaP5oUZ5d7O9SKhrNp509dxMKHq1d00ICQnMzMvBbQTVv0RhZvIlzSACJeVA6Iwo0B7rmz20AvWPwUEeYi2B/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><br></div><div>I had been posting on fb and the interaction was a nice diversion. Then someone messaged me on fb. A person I’m friends with but don’t know from adam. It was a woman from Buenes Aires and she was speaking Spanish to me. (I don’t speak Spanish). So i had no clue what she wanted or was saying. She kept messaging me so i decided to go to my translator app and figure out what she was saying. Well i ended up chatting with her for about 45 minutes. She’d typed something and then I’d copy/paste it into translator and then translate my answer back to her. It took awhile but was giving me something to do. She was complimenting my art a lot which was nice. In the end i thanked her and told her my situation and that it was a great way to spend that time. She answered back, “ yes i know! I wanted to give you something to do”. how fun was that? </div><div><img id="id_3763_7df5_b3bd_b39f" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4PWOWpxM9YwWz-biIrdOChoV6mQhTnus8Du8B0Gz0ixsHMHTnKvFFj02d-LJdvSpBmrjB0fLZ8j1PiLq0hT8RhxFLOaIXn6TMb8zFmEOk6Zl1TuO-EpT1fOlkFPkCHnfv8q4_ujOrqQl/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br>Finally landed in Chicago feeling exhausted but not quite as pissy.

A good friend died unexpectedly last week and it’s crushing my soul. I’m making do this week. Day by day- still alive as someone died. These feelings Always takes me back to 2 things: what happened to tucker and the death of my best friend, Michele. <div><br><div>My friend, Maija, passed away last week. What an amazing woman she was. I’m sorry i never grabbed her, looked her in the eye and said- “sister, you are fucking amazing”. Heavily, tears fall from my eyes and they don’t seem to want to let up. </div></div><div><br></div><div>On instagram, i started following a sweet, special needs pup, name tucker. Tonight, i learned he has passed away. Heartbreaking because it’s reality of how fragile life is - something i fear every day for my child. I cried over every video:relating this sweet dog to my child. It’s a loss to the core. </div><img id="id_44d2_a366_7312_3654" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvqFyWuHF-U4eYachRFmu3dxZKR-zMoUFtJ3pxYqO3BAVuAKRaq8UD69aFuiTxUDa8fBiHzximPXDnQpGUmbkNxtJnl9ImLRXSKPBI0ogpSdN0dJMqF0rAehFmauog2jdCR8kIwtHN2M-/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_4c51_e3c7_ee3f_4cc1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Yn1SvwOADxD2wsrBq3FhtUBUIIyYG7_WJo984KBEdjseWEWUw9rGRC2OIiz74KQ0Gc1HEjIflGJzfcQwIW220JAYHdjwOQr_7SR_35T8q5nhWn1tWx021VAUZ1Bh9yy2nf_O8hVnhZE2/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><div><br></div>kecia deveneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02670336375823545129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013585422133314875.post-42599365778984580662017-11-03T22:12:00.001-04:002017-11-03T23:05:15.420-04:00How I came to get my new kitten <br><div>Around July, I noticed a beautiful calico roaming the neighborhood. The dogs would bark at her as she sauntered by and then disappeared into the woods. </div><div><br></div><div>Let me back up. A few months earlier, My husband had put down a moratorium, saying “no more cats”. (After my Lilly passed away, I had said I wanted another kitty, but every time I brought it up, the idea was met with resistance.). So I decided to put it out to the universe that if I couldn’t adopt a cat, then could a cat please adopt me? </div><div><br></div><div>So when I saw this calico, I went out and bought some dry food. When I’d see her, I’d run out and shake the box at her. I’d see her sporadically and then not again for about a month or so. </div><div><br></div><div>Eventually she showed up again and </div><div>, I began the process of feeding her again. Eventually I got her to come over to our side yard. She’d sit under Tucker’s van and wait for us to feed her. I started calling her kitty girl. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_405b_dd44_b4ed_b846" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpE4zyoHMCE1rtN4JwjRHP_Ho6ckuAEhVWlwyOuPTQulQJ2eOzxcA7dDX1gPToVktA0aIsYEDn-cYV9ohyBiA8wwym2EIVA0aSaghiq3odb4He0knnfUdBxRF8zRCSHu_mEKX15oZ4ISYD/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_2a8_6af0_9eed_4b60" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8jZAV3TuPo-uOUykLWpM9gEHlBuiTuVjOChbixwQNwYPuHC7iA5AQgXRC4l72N4ySP7lCjd8ywJjvmHaCPaUn1sSs3y_ArFUAuo-2NbYLbZtaGo1Lh6ozKQn67r70V5uAarzGgB7oUEK0/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_d451_b061_346_aa28" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMSgqrdYPMEI2_t5PvTvH3z3JrDKuRGy1gQ4Sy_zuMr_-8mUd_XSJDjLeVhKm9SalRIg-VKQAq3xiJmKUuFVtmTr3iXy9q8HU-WdKT35nq4MVB-POyj6OSk2lkcnnx4jvBne5t-9s3DCT1/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><br></div><div><br></div><div>After a few days of feeding her and seeing her up close, I suspected she was pregnant and probably due anytime. </div><div><br></div><div>Then on a Tuesday, we had a new roof put on. We didn’t see her all day and suspected it was probably too noisy for her. We saw her again Wednesday morning and I noticed right away that she had given birth. Thus began the great adventure of finding the kittens. </div><div><br></div><div>She’d come two, sometimes 3 times a day to eat. We started giving her probiotics and a vitamin supplement and also adding chicken to her diet for added protein. She was big into hissing at us and wouldn’t let us get to close to her, but she began coming up onto the porch and waiting for us to come out with her food. She was working hard. Then she’d head off into the woods. A few times I snuck behind her and began to think I knew where she was headed. </div><div><br></div><div>I came up with the plan to follow her. So next morning when she came, Jeff fed her and I ran into the woods ahead of her and hid behind the garage of the house where I thought she was going. The Jeff called out, “she’s coming back”, so I ducked down behind some bushes and waited. </div><div><br></div><div>When she walked by, the other side of the garage, I walked parallel to her and peaked around the corner of the yard. She snuck under a blue tarp that was covering old furniture, a mattress and other junk like that. She had her babies in the back yard of some neighbors who had let their property go and it was junk and trash. We’d also heard they had sold the property as is, so we began to feel like we needed to find those babies quickly for their safety and before they went feral. </div><div><br></div><div>I spent the next few days doing the same thing. While she ate, I’d discreetly try and look in the pile. I was starting to get uncomfortable being on their property, so the next time I saw one of them, I casually said I was trying to track a stray cat and could I check the back yard. (I really didn’t want them knowing about the kittens). </div><div><br></div><div>The next morning, with permission granted, I ran over there and finally found them! There was a mattress leaning against an old recliner and when I lifted it , there they were! I thought there would be more, but gratefully, there were only 3. </div><div><br></div><img id="id_f1b_85df_b7e1_a6bc" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCEOKhHmySGQLTah8Tjcs6khIHz1fVNT_RjUrdCCiE10jSUTxG-iIgqf9AeIJQOyuDPt73CddP_ilXv2M6lpCA-H8xO1OXA554jD2D5Z6regHg7vPbhzOZomomKuKPgtC_H4u_WbCluanh/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_5d26_43bc_db20_39d2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iG1lPTjL7TXPtrVsFRUimf8-LBhsk0CMy9NCEN5FK-CoZl5RLkGQ5515oat4iWDT9oWv_Lrxpg7tejwgJD7zRbzlJm2_EmLzoXQE9yTbsR9DiM74nPF0SxOeR03ubVGaAeZSfjgeEoR3/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 298px; height: auto;"><br><div><br></div><div>I was working with a feral cat rescue group and the plan now that the babies were found, was to take them when they were about 4 weeks old, where they would begin a foster program.

<br />
An art friend, Andrew, recently made a post, daring people to blog again. Yeah, why did I stop blogging? Maybe because I thought people had stopped reading, which yeah, they had. My last blog post was in 2015. Facebook makes it convenient to catch up with people with little effort except to scroll. Except facebook is more of those minute by minute sort of thoughts running through our heads and then, THE POLITICS. Don't get me started on all that bull crap. The fighting, the anger, ugh. I pretty much only posted and tried not to get caught up in it. Who needs all that sort of ugliness?<br />
So it's been running through my head again to start blogging again. So here I am.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd dedicate my first post to a good friend of mine, <a href="http://www.maigirlz.typepad.com/">Maija Lepore</a>, who passed away last week. It was shocking news and news spread quite quickly. She had been ill, but they weren't sure what was going on. Right before she died, they finally realized that she had pancreatic cancer. (And my info is coming second hand, so if I find I am mistaken, I will correct the info). We hadn't been in touch as much in the last few years, as things go, but once in awhile, she'd text me or I'd text her or she'd send me a box of my most favorite toffee, from Enstrom's (made in Colorado, where she lived)<br />
<br />
Mostly I knew Maija from art retreats. She loved them as much as I did. Originally, I think we met via blogging and then one year we both went to Artnest in Utah, and it ended up that we were roommates. She was the very friendly type and made quick friends with everyone. She was so well loved. A few years ago, when I was driving cross country, I stayed with her and Al for a few days. We had the best time. She had all these funs things planned for us to do and really made me feel quite welcome. It was a wonderful visit and I'm grateful I got that one on one time with her. They took me out for a lovely dinner the night before I left.<br />
<br />
Maija was not fond of funerals, so there will be no funeral. Instead there will be a celebration of life on November 18. I will be flying out there to attend. I absolutely must go and toast to a wonderful lady, who will be terribly missed.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Hello world! I've just returned from a painting workshop in Portland with the fabulous Flora Bowley! It was my birthday treat to myself and I made the most of it. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>So many of you know that I've been painting in the style for about 6 years now. I've taken previous classes with Flora and also began my painting journey with Jesse Reno. So why would I go take another class if I already know how to do it?</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Easy, because I wanted to. Flora is a very gentle and inspiring teacher. Her yoga experience (as a teacher) shines through as she encourages her students in positive ways. I had not yet seen her new studio, so right there, is a new reason to experience. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I'm so glad I went. I've been on the road to new horizons of late and it was good to get out side of my life for a bit. It gives me a chance to be ME. Not a wife, not a mom, just ME. It gives me a chance to also to meet and bond with new people who are getting to meet ME. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>And I did learn new things. I make the same mistake over and over again and it was fun to tackle that during the weekend. I tried new colors, new shapes, worked in darker colors and just explored. The last day and a half I was pretty tired, so I bought another canvas and went back into my comfort zone of creating my little characters and then practicing some of Floras exercises within those shapes. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>This post is to tell you that if you've always DREAMED about taking a workshop with an admired artist, then it's high time you put that dream into motion. Make a list. Make goals. What do you do to make it happen? do you need 2 years to save up? then start saving! stop making excuses and figure out how to make it happen! and we are all guilty of making excuses , so that's not said as a judgement - it's said to encourage. </i></span></div>

What is it about charms/trades/swaps that make us dizzy with delight? I've been posting photos on fb of some charms I have been making for the <a href="http://www.eatcakecreate.com/stamford/stamford-workshop-schedule/"><span style="color: red;">Art-is-You Stamford, CT</span></a> event and the phone has not stopped ringing! (well, not really, but the private messages wanting to know all about them is what I meant, lol)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you aren't familiar, trade/charms/swaps are created and traded at events (in our case, Art-is-You). At burning man, people trade things or services as a way of bonding/interacting with one another. The act of creating things to trade, in my opinion, is the most fun. I think a lot of love and intention go into the process because when they are traded with one another, the recipient is always quite excited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Traditionally most charms are made to hang off of something. I know the participants at AIY like to hang them off of their specially made name tags. It's not uncommon for swappers to make little packets of paper ephemera or mini art supplies. I know one year I gave out mini notepads and pens because I've found that most people seem to forget those when gathering their art supplies. In the past I have given out pins that have my artwork on them. People love to put the pins on their purses.</div>

Charms I have collected over the years, mini dolls, beaded work, glass beads, mini felted animals, fabric flowers, mica,shrinky dinks, soldered charms, bottle caps, dominoes, etc. If you are stuck for an idea, maybe think about something with fibers. It's a nice balance to some of the other trades. May I also suggest, packing a few extras to give to someone who doesn't know about trading and may be feeling left out. I've given out packets in the past of extra things for them to trade and it makes both parties feel very happy!<br />

This year at <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.eatcakecreate.com/stamford/stamford-workshop-schedule/kecia-deveney-love-connection/">AIY in Stamford</a>,</span> I am hosting an evening event where we take all our collected charms and hang them. I'll be showing a fun way to display our collected charms so that when we go home, it'll be ready to hang and enjoyed. Artists love to recycle/upcycle/repurpose items that are plentiful and economical at the same time. For my charm this year, I chose to use Jenga wood game pieces. I love working on wood and I had made a tiny little watercolor that I thought would be perfect to duplicate and add to the jenga tiles.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Yesterday I got into a verbal spat with some woman on fb. The whole thing is silly, but I had posted something about how I was annoyed that a retail store insisted that "store policy" required that my purchase be placed into one of THEIR bags. I had said, "no bag please" as I always do since I find plastic bags WASTEFUL, especially since I have a big purse and a tote with me (hey, look at that, both are BAGS!) (and yes I will be calling the store and writing a letter about the ridiculous store policy and telling them that unless they can't be environmentally friendly, then I'll just shop elsewhere; maybe one of their competitors)</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>ok, so i posted on fb and then the flood came in. LOTS of suggestions on what I should have done. (my personal fav, "you should bring your own bags". Really, have never thought of that before!) So I'm gonna admit right here and now that I CANNOT STAND UNSOLICITED ADVICE. it just irritates the heck out of me. I feel like shouting to these "helpey helpertons" as I like to call them, "hello I am 50 years old, I know what I should be doing in life"! I get it, I get it, they are just trying to be helpful. I'm not trying to sound mean or ungrateful But times that by more than a few people and then times that by how often it happens and then times that by all the helpey helpertons in the world and OMG = exhausting! I just wanted to express my frustration .</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>so back to the fb post. I then posted an add-on, saying, <span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Add on: "ok peeps, I carry a big purse and a foldable tote. A receipt should suffice if I were to be accused of shoplifting. I was told a new policy was in place and I had To use their plastic bag. And I'm saying that's wasteful. Don't need any other suggestions! thanks!"</span></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But I'm afraid that one woman (the one who was concerned that I might be accused of shoplifting") took it very personal. She said, "how dare you treat your followers like that" and "i was just doing something out of the goodness of my heart" and "don't post on fb if you don't want advice" and "she didn't want to be a part of my anger". SILLY. then she unfriended me. Good, I say! </i></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My point is, is I have a personal policy to not offer unsolicited advice. No one wants it, unless they ask for it. I don't go on fb walls offering advice, because I assume they are grown up enough to know what the hell they are doing without any input from me. It's in my humble opinion that people just want to be HEARD and not FIXED. </i></span></span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">This is where I plan on putting the big bird bath. It's a big sandy area where the sparrows love to splash in the dirt. But ivy has taken to digging there and it just gets bigger and bigger. So I filled it with gravel and put some bigger polished rocks on top. I just want to lay the bath right on top and let the birds play there. </span></i></div>

Recently I got to play with <a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-stencil-release-giveaway.html">Seth Apters new stencils for Stencil Girl</a>. They are really cool and edgy- definite air of street art vibe to them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I decided to use the stencils in a fabric project I was working on. I wanted to create a big fabric flag for my back deck to hide an area in the porch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I used spray paints and acrylics to create a background and then painted over areas to create a focal point. I'm quite happy with how the project turned out and love the new stencils. </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Happy 4th of July everyone! Today I decided was the day that Tucker would start painting. I've wanted to do this for awhile and this morning my brain said, "today". So I got out a canvas, put on his apron and we played. Mind you, I have to help him, but i let his and my hand work together, loosely, to create something. The first part of the painting, I closed my eyes to see what we got. It either looks like a cute bunny or a cute puppy. Anyway it was a lot of fun, a bit tiring too, for both of us, but we will do more. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I've been wanting to visit this house (<a href="http://www.lunaparc.com/">Luna Parc</a>) ever since I read about it in an issue of Weird NJ many years ago (still have the issue in our bathroom). Last night very randomly, someone sent me a notice that the owner, Ricky Boscarino, was having his open house this weekend! Cleared all my plans and set out on the 2 hour drive this morning. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>here is a brief description from the website Atlas Obscura: </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfaf6; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: MuseoSlab; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 0.75em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: red;"><i>"Since 1989, when Ricky Boscarino stumbled upon the cabin in the woods and began transforming it into Luna Parc, it has been a massive work in progress.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfaf6; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: MuseoSlab; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0.75em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: red;"><i>Filled with mosaics influenced by Klimt, Gaudí and Hundertwasser, the house looks as if it had been plucked from some colorful dreamscape and deposited in the backwoods of New Jersey. Artist, designer and "King-o-Luna," Ricky Boscarino, has transformed the house both inside and out, with the interior of the house covered in his collections of homemade lamps, bottle caps, Buddhas, taxidermy, miniatures, stringed instruments, stained glass and religious icons. Currently Boscarino is collecting Mrs. Butterworth bottles and blue glass for new outdoor sculptures.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfaf6; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: MuseoSlab; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0.75em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: red;"><i>A skilled artist in many mediums, among other projects, Boscarino created a four panel stained-glass mural for his bathroom depicting the journey of life from spermatozoa to skeleton. When not working on his house, Boscarino makes and sells art and jewelry (much of it miniature versions of everyday objects, though you can get a miniature fetus and enema bag in gold and silver) and throws two large parties a year in fall and spring."</i></span></div>

LOVE LOVE LOVE the bathroom. The clear banister upstairs housing NESTS was exquisite. Wanted to sit in the ballroom with a cool drink, some music and a book. By far, my fav was the chapel- hands down, so cool, peaceful and special. I appreciate the recycling, upcycling and Ricky's dedication to non mainstream traditional home decor.

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Zipped over to Rhode Island to visit my friend, Linda, for a week. She told me her husband was going out of town and did I want to come? Yeah, duh! We had a lot of fun together. We decided first off that we wanted to create Garden angels, which somehow we started calling our Garden Druids. Pretty much we worked on them almost the whole week (a little bit on them every day and then running out to shop, eat, beach it, etc. ) So it was a nice combo of doing a variety of things. We used a lot of organic items on them found at the beach or things we'd been saving "for just the right project". </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>On Saturday May 9th, 1200 walkers turned out to raise funds for Mary's Place by the Sea, a house in Ocean Grove, NJ, dedicated to providing services for women with cancer. Team Michele, walked in honor of our dearly beloved and sorely missed friend, Michele Taylor Koehler. She passed away January 23rd, 2015. She raised funds herself for the home a few years ago, inviting all her friends and family to walk with her. It was a little sad to be walking without her, but nonetheless, we carried her in our hearts that day (and always). I was proud to raise $2100 for the house through an art auction that I held online on facebook. The support was much appreciated. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>When I was done taking the picture and ready to go inside, I call to Ivy. But she doesn't come. And she doesn't come, and she doesn't come. I run into the house thinking maybe Jeff let her in (and mind you all total, from her being with me and then gone, about 2 minutes). Nope, she's not in the house. Jeff comes out and we start looking everywhere. Calling her name, looking in the field beyond my house, the neighborhood next door, and out front. No Ivy. Last week, Jeff said she tried to get under the deck (where we suspect a raccoon was living over the winter). But he had blocked all that off. I double checked that area and yep, still blocked. So we start taking a flashlight to look through the grooves in the deck and I said, what about this part of the deck? (it juts out from the main part of the deck and there is very little space under there). So on a hunch I go to the other side and clear out some of the leaves and little wrought iron fence and find a hole. Hmmmmmmm. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Hello world, it's me.....</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>I've been wanting to blog for awhile, but really lost my heart for it. Maybe I needed to take a break from it in order to be excited to blog again. Then on January 23rd, I lost my best friend, Michele, to breast cancer (triple negative, a very aggressive form of breast cancer) - so that really closed me off to the outside world as I grieved. Slowly, I feel myself returning. Not from the sadness, but I feel my voice (the one who tells all my stories), is returning. My path has been diverted, but I'm taking advantage of that to solely be living life for what I want and not what others are expecting of me, or what I think I should be doing. I'm sort of just letting life evolve. I'm saying NO more often to things that I don't want to be doing (but in the past, would say YES, so as to not let others down). The only expectation I want anyone else in this world to have of me, is understanding. Understand me and let me be who I want to be without anything else. I love others for who they are no matter how different they live their lives or the choices they make and I now expect that for myself. Otherwise I no longer feel like engaging that sort of person in my life. New doors are opening for me and I'm excited about that. Not teaching very much this year and I'm enjoying the time off. While I LOVE teaching, it's a lot of hard work. And for someone like me, who already has a full time job (let's make that LIFETIME) job of being a caregiver; honestly, things outside the house can be very overwhelming and exhausting. And that's not even covering how much self pressure I put on myself to be there more than 100% for the students or the event. I have some new goals for myself and I'm excited to put them in action. I have to return to the fun side of art. My friend would be proud of me, Michele, besides my husband and sons, was my biggest cheerleader when it came to my art. Always encouraging me, asking about my travels, wanting to see new art and hear the stories behind the pieces. I really miss that. </i></span><br />

While the magazines that show off studios are quite beautiful, they seem quite "pristine" without a hair out of my place. I know others looked at the magazines and wish for such beautiful studios. But while beautiful, it is unrealistic to portray normal, average working studios as that pristine. While I would certainly love for my studio to be showcased in such a magazine, I'm pretty certain, I would have to do a lot of tidying up and removing a lot of my "beloved clutter"; which doesn't really make it my studio then!<br />
<br />
Anyway, hop over to <a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Seth's blog</span></a> to see the lists of participants and pictures of their "working studios". Here are my pics (but keep in mind that I gave it a good cleaning before leaving for Australia and haven't had whole lot of time since returning to aptly mess it back up!<br />

this was later in the evening after working all day on a few projects (please note THE BEER). Not sure I've seen that in a studio mag before!) So this is the table where I paint. I do tend to keep it pretty clean as I like a lot of free space on my table while painting. It's easy to keep pretty tidy by keeping my paints to the side in the wheeled caddy and my paint brushes in containers behind me. </div>

This is my jewelry workstation. It is always a mess for some reason. Maybe because there are so many small components needed. I'll deal with this later.........</div>

and this is the table where my projects go into que while waiting to be finished. I do a lot of things in stages or run out of time and then they are in "que" til I get back to them or figure out how the heck I want to finish them up. It always looks cluttered. </div>
