horoscope for this week.....

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): At the heart of this horoscope is a quote
from Maya Angelou. While it may seem schmaltzy, I assure you that its
counsel will be essential to your success in the coming weeks. "I've
learned that people will forget what you said," said Angelou, "people will
forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them
feel." Can you see how valuable this principle might be for you, Taurus? If
you hope to get what you desire, you should turn your empathy on full
blast. If you'd like to supercharge your vitality, hone your skills as a judge
of character. If you want to get the love you think you deserve, be a
master at making people feel good in your presence.

counting sadly down the days.....

 thinking about snow, continuing to work.....and a ferry trip to Long Island....last one until next summer, sadness reigns.....

print with wintergreen oil....

one last ferry ride!

my friend came along

playing with the camera

pilings

and snow....

did you miss me?

I'm back for a minute....it's hard to believe that things are winding down so quickly. and I know I'm going to have to transition away from this utopia of creating that has been my summer...wah....anyway, here's some pics from the past few days. I've had visitors, spent two whole days at the beach, found a great restaurant called Silly's that makes a thirst quenching sangria, and in my work I'm thinking about snow.

happy

and happy

long island view....the fog rolled in and out.....

pretty latte

stitching on cheesecloth...you have to use this plasticy stuff to hold the fabric together....

print from pronto plate onto fabric

close up fuzzy view....these are parts of my snow comfort zone....

amy is going to take over as house cook

because she can make poached eggs that look like this

someone said they miss my art

but here's the thing, I took a weekend off!! Back in the studio now, working on a "liminal space' which will be a stitched wall hanging set away from the wall with light shining through it, so when you look at it you also see shadow of stitching and yourself in it. I'm stitching on cheesecloth which is not fun, but there's this stuff you can buy that will dissolve in water when I'm done with the stitching...today I'm also going to print on the cloth....images to come, I promise! Also had a great visit with younger, and both are coming up this weekend! yay!
