Carousel Mane in the Wind
What a fabulous horse. I dropped by the Marin County Fair today to see and do these specific things: View the fine art entries (next year I am submitting, I swear!); view the home arts and craft exhibits; commune with the chickens and rabbits; pet the goats; look at the Clydesdale horses and mules; ride the carousel or the Ferris wheel; eat some cotton candy. I did everything except get on a ride! But I did take some pics of the carousel horses -- look how its mane is blowing in the wind!Journal Page Creations....Day 94
Journal Page Creations -- Day 94: Twenty-First Century PhysicsChemistry, physics -- I never did very well in those classes. However, I seemed to get an "A" in my second marriage. It's been pretty good, considering everything. Both children of alcoholic parents, we've had a lot of issues to deal with over the years. But we've managed to keep laughing and at the bottom line, take responsibility: if there's a difference in opinion, outlook, or taste -- and there always is -- then the "opposing" force is just a flipside of the coin. That somewhere I feel, or he feels the same way. Like he is my mirror, or I am his. So we really aren't that much different from each other. Guess there's chemistry or physics in that!

Journal Page Creation...Day 90
Journal Page Creations -- Day 90: What's NewIt is now approximately three months since I started my personal art challenge -- to create a journal page a day. This has been fun and not very difficult to do! And I am always amazed by what "appears" -- the colors used, the images chosen, the choice of accompanying text. And I love seeing the little journals stack up on my desk as I finish filling their pages. In the past few weeks I have even started to "muse" a bit on each journal posting. One thing I've noticed about this creative process, however, is that I have not made very many necklaces during this period of three months. Making Doree's custom last week was the first time in about 2 months that I have created a pendant! Maybe it's just a creative cycle, maybe I'm just winding up to anew phase of jewelry creation and marketing. I have set business goals and started designing a series of pendants that are "Twilight-inspired," which I plan to offer for sale in the early fall, but I need to work on other designs, too. I am going to extend this journal page challenge another month because I love it so. But I am also going to challenge myself to create a minimum of one pendant a week for the month of July. Man, I am pinning myself down. Well, why not, if not now?
