NEWS!!!

Big news came my way last night!!  I got a new job that will begin in January that will mesh perfectly with my art/life goals!!  It's part time, regular hours, I will have to get up earlier to be at work earlier (that's the downside for my non-morning person self) but I will be learning, growing, eventually teaching and I am SSSOOOOO excited!!! How fortunate this Winter Solstice is for me!!

I also spent some time drawing with colored metallic pencils, regular drawing pencils, and some inks.  I just went where ever, no real plan, but it seems I've a thing for trees right now.  I've always wanted to draw better trees, very far from that achievement so far, but I'm finding I can ignore the inner critic and just go with what comes into my hand.  One of my trees turned out to be the hair on a head sketch.  Another goal is to really pursue making dolls, to have the dolls make it out of my head and into the sewing room-this has been brewing for years but it's time to make it happen.

So, lots of excitment for new things and old things coming into fruition.  I'll post the photos for last night's efforts later as I need to prepare myself for going to work at the current job whose days are numbered. (I've liked it, and it has led to this new opportunity, but there have been aspects that have been more draining than energizing.  So it's good to know that the job without regular hours is going bye-bye!) Later!
