new adventure

I have wonderful news.....my Dad has been working on perfecting his textile photography skills and has decided to offer his services commercially this is the web-site.....www.quiltphotography.com....his name is "homer" give him a try

creative activity

Introducing "Chanticleer's Pride" 12X12" I thought I would send this in for the quilting arts mag calendar contest....but didn't get around to sending the submission in time......


And a rose is a rose.......mixed media...
And this piece from today...called "don't let your base instincts rule your life"

personal

Yesterday I invited some family members for dinner....and at the table some personal confessions were made by a member of our family who has lived a long life with his secret...it involves base instincts and less than socially acceptable ...he has hidden this and acted it out in very poor and unsafe ways....I do not object to the inclination....just the way he has chosen to act upon it......so so sad to think that a person could have had a "love" that included the physical but instead has lived "a lie" and suffered the effects...as have his children ....and now his grandchildren......my husband cannot talk about this.....his Dad.....fortunately our son was here and he was the most helpful....first he diffused and then he said "I love you"...with out reserve...I am proud of him...and sorry for my husband.....oooof....I am off to the clay ball tonight to see how much someone will pay for "mood-swings"

art shows that my art appears in....

I got 2 pieces accepted in the "sacred threads" exhibit....that's cool...my grab bag quilt is in costa rica....just heard this morning that my nutcracker quilt will go to houston with "fabled fibers"and next week-end is the auction for the clay ball where" Mood Swings" is exhibited....wonder if someone will buy?

art shows

I went to an art show today...in Beaverton @ http://www.southmin.com/ quite wonderful....and tomorrow they offer "worship in the art"....I would go.....maybe I will....but it means leaving my own creating...hum
