#250 - further work on my canvas.....couldn't figure out where to take it and then realized what it needs.....collage! Now I have an idea of where to go next.
#251 - gelli printing for a swap
#252 - documented life week 36, black and white theme
#253 - sometimes my creative activity is prep work for a project. I'm committed to making a few journals as Christmas gifts and so am getting started. I began by pulling some of my stash of scrapbook papers and cutting.....I decided on a 6x9 size and have 4 journals to make. Lots to do but this is a beginning.
Also this week, I went to the annual library overstock book sale. I love that sale! I spent 2 hours and $44 and came away with 42 books. I have novels, non-fiction travel essays, art books, a couple to cut up for collage, and a few for gifts - a fabulous couple of hours. I got there after it had been open about 45 minutes and there were over 1000 people there already. I have a couple familiar authors, but most are ones I don't know and books I've never heard of.....I just picked up things that sounded different and interesting.
AND - our little local beach (Seahurst) is open again after the removal of the sea wall that took all summer, so of course Dan and I had to go spend some time. We went after work Friday and didn't have much time because it was almost high tide....you can see we're losing our beach!
