Valentine's Clay Day

Love in clay...

Each heart is original

with its texture and glaze combination.

Love in Swirls

Lines and Dots

I created a dot stamp that gives me excellent raised dots!

Organic Love in white clay and speckled clay

Different Hearts~

seems like it represents the many varieties of love.

White glaze on speckled stoneware~

Love this look!

May you find love in all varieties on this artrist holiday,

Lent Possibilities

For Lent this year

I am going to do my best

at trying to change my mind set...

Trying to stop saying or thinking this phrase:

"I don't have time"

Please go ahead and laugh.

I am laughing (a little) too!

I am going to try my hardest to

believe:

I DO have time!

Time for what you might ask?

Not sure yet, but

I feel like I say it way too much to myself.

Sure, things get done

BUT

I know I can be better with my time management skills

and monitor my daily activities even better.

To honor this new way of thinking

I will draw something everyday until Easter

and share it with you.

Could I fail?  Sure

Could I learn from this experience?  Of course, no matter the failure or success!

Want to join me?

Here is a downloadable PDF of  a few heart cards and my card for day one-

"I do have time!"

Print it off

and take a minute or so to color or doodle around the edges.

Time for Love Series

You just thought it didn't you...

"I dont have time for that!"

I know, I know.

But we are living now

and these days are quickly passing.

We have to find the time.

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

John Wooden

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday

is to me...

A ritual, time for prayer, time for reflection

and a reminder to live life to the fullest,

just to name a few.

My journal page for Ash Wednesday

Ashes on my forehand

...For dust you are and dust you will return.

Genesis 3:19

I pray that I embrace Lent with fervor like never before

on this artist holiday,

Cross Making 101

This week's Cross Making class ~

Just a few cereal and cracker boxes, ric rack and glue!

I enjoy using pantry boxes in my work,

see an example here.

Due to time restraints, I have them ready

for the kids to cut out.

Feeling the love....

so many supporters of my class have donated

awesome supplies like these ribbons and ric rack!

Thank you!!!

And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.

Matthew 10:30

This verse reminds me time and time again

how significant I am to God-

the creator of this beautiful universe.

A thought I cannot wrap my linear head around...

all that love....

The kids really enjoyed this project.

We ended up needing 2 weeks on some to finish.

Which is a good sign to me~

the kids care and are really getting into creating their cross.

The directions were~

Step 1:  Cut out cross

Step 2:  Choose ribbon or ric rack, cut pieces and glue onto cross in a pattern.

Step 3:  Choose a word or words to represent Christ.

Words or phrases discussed and/or used:

Christ

God

He loves

Gracious

Grace

Christian

He lives

Love

My example:

Thankful for being reminded how much I matter to 

the Divine on this artist holiday,
