Word Paths • Beauty

Everyone has a word path. One word leads to another.

Word Paths have been a Friday feature showcasing possibilities in written words, creative process and artistic pieces from the beginning of my blog You can go here, to my first post on this project and see how it all started.

Here is My Word Paths for Today

I loved working on this today because the kids slept in and I had a chance to have a delicious coffee get into the studio by 6:45! I just love being in there making art.

These words have been swirling in my head this week as I thought about my Word Path for today. I feel strongly about owning your beauty. Moles, freckles, color, size and those wonderful curves, own all of it!

Happy Weekend • Own Your Beauty • Enjoy the Language of Words

Enjoy some Macy Gray!

There is a Grey Heron on my desk....what I am working on....

Here is a peek at what is on my desk. I am currently playing with the heron as a motif. Birds are also a favorite in my design, along with the flowers you usually see in my work.

Honored as the creator of light the heron is a graceful creature. This bird is such a pleasure to sketch and design with. With its lovely lines and curves it lends itself to beautiful pattern possibility with its simplicity. The heron represents strength, patience and long life. A heron is said to be curious, inquisitive and determined. I like that.

Distracted by a Dress

Went to a "another" favorite shop that carries vintage and vintage inspired clothes and just fell in love with this print on a maxi dress, so I had to buy the dress. I wanted to display the dress in my studio for inspiration but when I put it on a wooden hanger it did not do the dress justice. It was almost like eating a gourmet meal on a paper plate. So for the past few days instead of making art I have been playing with ribbons and a hanger! I decided to wrap some found ribbon to jazz up the hanger. The dress deserved to be displayed on a nice hanger.
