:: by appointment only ::
We all have come across "seen by appointment only" at least once in our life time. 
As for some, like me... more often than I wish to.  
Wasted time seating in the doctor's office, waiting to be seen. 
If it had been made by choice, then yes... I willfully wait.
Otherwise, let us remember I would rather be any place but here!
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you 
heals your sick self.
KHALIL GIBRAN

it's a tag parade...

:: pocket-book display:: 
These incredible tags were created by artist's who participated in our 
swap, hosted by me, in The Studio 
I thought it was appropriate, to create a pocketbook out of a file folder, 
to display these beautiful tags in. 
This project is fun and easy to create. Love how my pocketbook turned out!
enjoy!

exploring recyclable art...

:: soapbox pinwheels ::
think twice before throwing these treasures away!
Soapboxes... 
they are adorable in size, pose as great mini canvases, hold up well under stress,
and are perfect to paint on.

materials needed:
soapboxes
acrylic paints
collage paper scraps
matte medium 
tacky glue 
painter tape 
Exploring is fun!

:: around here ::

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, 
because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, 
and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

pockets - paper-dolls - papers

:: journal spread :: 
Lost and found... there is a place for everything here. 
Layers of scrap papers, painted stencils, and a bread bag pocket for a paper dolly. 
This journal page is random, sporadic you may say...I am okay with that. 
Sometimes life is scattered just the same.
enjoy your stay!
