hot muggy totally uninviting
days like today, when the heat blankets the body and all else around you. Moving take concentrated effort. Blah. Only on such days, do I wish for a small section of water to sit submerged in a shallow area where there is a bit of a shade. and the water is lapping gently all around me, cooling and refreshing.
of course #1 choice, is to stay inside, where I have air climate control. No need to think about getting out of the water, getting dry, and finding my way back to the car. This too shall pass.
Happy week-end everyone. I trust wherever you are in, you are enjoying a wonderful memory making day.

PL calendar day 6 Past,, present or future, always remember to be sincere and honest. At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself.

working and living

Sunday morning
Mixed media…. then.. (found in a thrift shop) bigger white canvas, and the small one is a demo I did to show the use of acrylics, inks, stamps and colours available today. The contrast appealed to me yesterday. My intention is to recycle the white canvas. Stay tuned.
PL Principle #3 will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things
I have a huge appreciation for the work that went into doing the big white canvas, it was actually one of 3 pieces. the middle piece was hexagon and bigger and wider. Must have made a wonderful wall piece.
PL Precept # 1 All things progress and develop.
Hit your stride, get out there and enjoy the day. Love is everywhere, smile and share.

PL calendar day 10
When you are not having fun, could it be because you re being lazy? Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.
If sadness and lack of hope knock I your heart – try to do something positive for someone else.

What happens when you have time on your hands nd you want to recycle an onion bag. I go into my workshop and play, Meet Ms Onion, she is now waiting for her transformation, when I have time to spend time with her in the “makeup” room.
Good morning everyone! How lovely to see so many smiling faces yesterday at service. Our new Hokyoshi from Brazil, Yoshizumi Terada was our master of ceremonies, when it came time to sing, we all got to enjoy Com Quem Contar with dance movements. It was a DELIGHT. Thank you Yoshi. Another Brazilian member Kaiser Lette Bueno added his voice to the song. “Andei, Andei E encontrei Oshieoya Sama, Oshieoya Sama.
Com Quem Contar has to be the most joyful song, I love it. In English the title is Who to Trust.

MCG demo 2
Happy May 5th. Bom dia!
Another mixed media done for demo. The idea with a demo of new and old products is to show artists, budding new crafters and seasoned expressionist how to use some of the newer products that are arriving on the market daily. Yes you an see YouTube videos but a video isn’t something you can touch, feel and at the same time, have knoledegable staff who can and will help if you have questions.
I know that there are many who prefer to deal online for supplies, and if you know the product, and the supplier, have a particular way of working, and are not going to deviate from what you know.. then go for it.
My experience is that when I am in a creative mood, or am working on an idea, I want and need my inventory handy. Part of the creative process in mixed media is to be open to new possibilities. The demo -before- during prep.. sometimes, what is down could be up =^_^= Abstract work, is lived in the moment.
The beauty of abstract mixed media… given the same products, no two pieces will come out the same. How perfect is that. We are all unique … talented and beautiful.
PL calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting”
Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there, you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come of it.
My bargain tulips are blooming…
I took a chance, and brought them home and gave them some love. Love is a powerful gift. Share your gift with the world. PEACE begins within.
A reminder, if you are in the Ottawa area and want to see some amazing dogs, and mingle with a dog crowd. Visit the market today for the special event, to showcase, our dog population. games, fun, prizes, special, canine treats.
Enjoy the blessings of another day, share a smile, rejoice in the gift of life.
