Unburied

A couple of years ago, I decided the art board from art classes was still not being used.  I took a little of this, and some of that, added a favorite quote, and turned it into art.  The quote reads, "Ships may be safest in ports, but that's not what ships are for."  I love to collect quotes, and artsying them up suits me to a "T".  What might you take to the next level with some of the excess supplies in your studio?


Zoom in to see the details.  Didn't have a place to take a better pic.  Maybe next time.  Certainly not porfolio quality.  Good enough to inspire you though.

Quotes and Virtual Hugs

Over the last Christmas season, my grandaughter was participating in the Ballet Austin's Nutcracker.  It is customary to give a performer at least one flower at the end of their performance.  Living several states away meant I could not do this.  As her mother headed up to see the ballet, I asked her to tell Jacy, in some special way, I was sending her a bouquet. 

When the time came, her mom hugged her, and said the virtual (Texas) yellow roses, were from her nana and Grandpa Mike.  Without missing a beat, she said, "Oh, I wondered who those were from.  They were my favorite."

Maybe someone you know needs a virtual bouquet, or a virtual hug.  "Every passing minute is another chance to turn around."

Art Board Creativity

An art board is usually a support for creating.  In this instance it a piece of art.
