knit one... digest two

What happens when a biology grad learns to knit? Something like this....

Yes, by golly, that is the entire digestive tract - all knitted up - WOW!

Studio Friday : Sounds

These are the sounds I hear in my studio. I wasn't in the mood to photograph and edit all the things that made the sounds so I made this representation, digitaly enhancing one of my own paintings.

OOPS - forgot to mention that this painting is for sale on Etsy (without the blurb of course)
Thanks for the emails encouraging me to toot that - I forget these things, lol.

Inspire Me Thursday : LET'S GO DIGITAL

An older version of Adobe Photoshop was used to create this week's challenge : digital.

Are you participating in Inspire Me Thursday or Studio Friday yet? You should - it's fun. The link are in the right- hand column, over there -------->

Sweet!

I was looking at EBSQ today and looked up my profile to see if I needed to update anything and there was a cute little icon indicating I won an award...kinda! One of my hand-bulit pottery pieces got a 'member's mention'. I couldn't be more thrilled to have been noticed by other artists. Sweet!

I sold one of my beach assemglages at the "looking at the small picture" show at the FEC this weekend too - so that's wonderful. I am so glad the one I wanted to keep didn't sell! Often I'm not overjoyed with what I create - so many things don't turn out as grand as I planned them in my head ;) But I've become attached to the one beach box (Ocean Secrets) that has the quotes. I think I'll hang onto that one. I did put the 3rd (darn, I like that one too) on Etsy - but I can't keep em all can I? After all, I do have bills to pay and I am trying to make a go at this 'selling' stuff. Ha!

AND since I'm in such a good mood - I'm thrilled that my oldest son Trevor has just got his first place, on his own. He really needs this and I'm going to be happy for him, even if I do worry a little. Hey - I'm a mom, it's my job to worry BUT I'm so thrilled to see him so happy. Now if I can sell a little more art, I can go up and visit him in his new home and do the fun stuff like teach him how to cook and stuff - ok, I better get crack'n and sell some more art.

Today I see...

the rhodies are starting to bloom. Just in time for the Rhody Festival in May. Looks like a perfect spring day - and it would be if my T was home.

Oh and here's the tree that everyone loves from my old studio friday post... in color. It's a wax myrtle - it stays green and leafy all year long. It's a good tree. :)
