that I’m complaining, but between homework, field trips, college kids needs, our FUN fall social commitments, the business end of my art and general household maintenance my brain is way full and my feet tired. The shopping, cooking, laundry, meal planning and other domestic items necessary for a happy home are now largely my turn now that Derek has returned to school, which is a bummer, because he is REALLY good at it!
I think when I have a full domestic brain it cuts off circulation to my creative brain. I had a mini creative block (which can cause a bit of panic) for a week or so but was completely re-inspired by getting a chance to help another artist with a new
business venture. I can’t reveal what the project is but I can show you a couple of pictures of the pieces I’m working on for her! For now, I’ll call them the “covert Octopi” which are oxidizing from their patina bath outside right now! Can't believe I'm saying this, but we need a bit of rain for the patina to be just perfect.
Postscript: How cool is this?? Tauzer won the contest from Blanco Bob the Boxer in Maine! Thank Bob, you ROCK and your Mom creates fantastically creative Cowgirl Goods!

Hi Cindy- I understand- we still have to run a house and a household and make work. Sometimes it is hard to blend the two.
And sometimes it all falls into place.
I love fall as well and can not wait to see the fall colors.
BTW- I need to go out and check my mini-ponies. I am having a hard time keeping them in the fence. You know how those ponies can be!
I hear where you are coming from Cindy, about the household responsibilities. I feel like I am being pulled in so many different directions right now my head is spinning, so for now I have consoled myself with drawing in my journal and being creative in blog posts.
I love your octopi; creatures from the deep have always intrigued me and especially octopi with their unusual shape; I can just imagine their large heads (which I guess are partly their body too?) containing mysteries untold. Can't wait to see what is coming along for your collaboration.
Love your covert octopi! Also enjoyed your description of the coming of Fall with its colours and smells.
May your hands give form to your inspiration!
OMG I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the octopi!
hi Meredith- I love the new color of your studio :o) I also love the days when everything falls into place, like today; first the dentist (I needed a crown!), hair cut, new tags for the car, homework, music store, dinner and now it is sprinkling a bit on my Octopi for a nice patina! yippee!!
If you are at least drawing in your journal Linda you are a VERY GOOD GIRL!! With all that you have going on with the move you are still making time for art :o)
Peter, what a lovely thought, thank you.
