Bringing it all Together........

This year I only painted one painting, which is a bit strange for me............12 years of pumping out.....to just 1 for the year. Things have changed. However; creativity needs to be kept fresh and alive.......

I've spent the past year focused on hands on creativity..... jewelry, and as you already have seen my new found love for leather. Well...... I'm happy to have come "FULL CIRCLE". I will now be offering limited edition artwork on my one-of-a-kind bags......... I'm currently tagging each run of a bag with a special seal that keeps the bags and the original artwork special..... This encourages the painting level to be raised and the creativity to be challenged.......Stay Tuned!

Samples of the 1st two runs of fabric for the handmade bags:

It's like this short film on The Perfect Illustration The Finest Occupation:

I've been working non-stop....... I LOVE THIS Video from Flying Lotus....I hear my hammer in the distances!!!!!!!

Fusion

The Past few weeks have been crazy gearing up for some wonderful vendor/product love..... I was asked the other day to explain what I look for in the things I do for an article to be published ..... I sat there.....for a VERY LONG TIME. "What do I LOOK FOR........". I Thought to myself... "I don't look for anything..... it's a mear fusion." Classically trained... with a voice of my own. Just like this video:

Put The Pieces Together.....

I've been playing a bit of "Catch Up" the past few weeks.... Having to deal with early A.M. and late P.M...... However, I'm 2 seconds away from being caught up..... So I thought I would share this wonderful video

Chet Faker - I'm Into You

I had to choose how I would share this...... I've had the most EYE opening week to say the least....... My Hubby had me listen to this (he's NOT the sappy type)............. with no other words. It was what I needed .......( I was listening)
