Grand and glorious day

Up before the crack of dawn to be at Seaside yard sale before the crowds descend

Lovely vintage stuff

Need a fairy tutu?  They got it!

Had a lovely day with my bff.  Seaside yard sale and shopping down 30A.  Beautiful day!  Just doesn't get any better!

Hopelessly behind

Leftover Girl Scout Paper

Lovely piece of paste paper

Black on red

Blue on red

Haven't blogged much lately as I keep forgetting to take a camera with me.  One weekend project has been using up paper pulp taking up space in the refrigerator.  I combined natural brown and bleached white to make the mottled paper at top.  It has purple sparkles and red bits left over from a batch with added girl scout goodies.   Rest of the papers are paste papers made with the TeaBAGs last week.  I like the monochrome paste papers, but most of the ladies used lots of colors and they were all great! I can't wait to make some sweet little book covers out of these.  My favorite was lavender base with metallic gold over the top, but it didn't photograph well as it was too reflective. 

Love those boys and their toys!

Why would anyone want to drive to Kansas to stand in a bare field for a week with 100+ degree temperatures?  Well, here's why...

25,000 feet at 1.7 mach!

Self Portrait

Lots of rain up north makes the bay muddy and brown with tannin

Been busy at work and tired when I get home.  Lots of deadlines, two book commissions, group art show, book binding workshops.  Slowly making progress, but not too much creative energy for my blog.  Golf buddy is off visiting friends and family and having a grand and glorious time, miss her!  It really is too hot to play golf anyway and rains every afternoon.  These water photos are some that I've taken recently.  Above from our dock. Below is from the most wonderful art installation from a friend.  Can't show until I get permission, but the water around was lovely as was the sky above.  Listening to the Blind Boys of Alabama and counting blessings on this wonderful Sunday morning.
