Just Paint!

About a week and a half ago I was craving a new way of working with color. As a result, I took out my acrylic paints and made this.



Here's a small snapshot.






















I think this is the first painting I've done in about three years. WOW!
I has so much fun playing with movement and color. It made me miss daily art class in high school and having creative assignments for homework.

March! National Crochet Month

March is the National Crochet Month so... as a committed 'hooker' what am I doing to celebrate?

I plan to crochet for at least 10 minutes each day. I will be working on my current projects which are on stand-by right now as school is kicking my ass. I am left with little time for my crocheting. But not any more!

In addition, there is a Freeform Cal/Game on Ravely which I'm excited for. My last year's creation came out super weird and funky looking. I wonder what the designers have in store for this year. I was recently inspired and continued to freeform crochet on that piece. I plan to turn it into a street (art) yarn installation. I will post pictures once I do that. 

Oh! and to keep this blog alive, once a week I will post pictures of my work in progress on the new freeform project. 

Ah, I feel inspired already!

 Happy Crocheting!

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

another great movie with awesome imagery, costumes, and editing. great soundtrack and a twisted killer ending. a cult classic.

"A groovy, sexy, X-rated look at L.A. back when it was cool!" as someone commented.here's a sneak peak:




'money money money, must be funny'





"there's juice freaks, and pill freaks, and then everybody's a freak! what you need is grass or a downer or something."

I'm Not There

A few weeks ago I saw I'm Not There. I give it four out of five stars only because it is hard to follow at times, and background information about Bob Dylan's life is a must in order to understand some scenes. But I do think most Dylan fans would appreciate the movie. So if you are one, rent it, check it out- watch it.

Here are a few screenshots and images that I love.

Inspiration.



I have new projects I want to share.  And..

Third Time's The Charm

Getting back on the horse and into
the world of blogging. YES!

Here's a design I came up with for my handmade goodies and Etsy shop. 

It needs some tweeking and retouching but I love it!

Isn't it cute?
