Did Somebody Say Beach?

June 9, 2010 by admin 4 Comments

Just got back from Texas where they do EVERYTHING big, including big temperatures.  As I told Cat Beaty, of Cat's Creations; I can still see an impression of the zipper from my luggage on one finger, where I was unfortunate to try and open it while it had been sitting in the car all morning.  Morning, people!!!  It was HAWT!  My clothing proved that it wouldn't melt.  LOL.

I also improved my hotel videography skillz.  Well a little.  I filmed this lovely technique video for Tattered Angels one evening.  Too much fun not to share some playtime.

And I had so much fun at Scrapper's Boutique, The Crafty Scrapper and Cat's Creations last weekend.  I just may have to come back in October.  :)  Actually, it's more than a *may*.  I probably cannot hit all three, just from a logistical standpoint.  But my friend Jen Starr and I are heading to a 'Bra Free Weekend' at the Ten Seconds Studios retreat house, to get all kinds of certified in Metal Working with the fabulous Cheryl Darrow.  And then we might just be swinging by these stores for some workshops…  likey?

Back to the present.  This weekend I'm off to Toronto, taking a little road trip.  I'm hoping to get some pictures at the Niagara Falls.  I've never seen it before!  Workshops are filling fast, so contact The Bizzy B (see sidebar) to get your seats!

And then, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  The beach.  Of course, I get a little respite from the relative relaxation *snicker* and will be teaching a couple of workshops at Carolina Stamper (see sidebar) at the end of the month.  But then I am cutting off any traveling that doesn't include the fam, and onto the beach until….August if I am a good girl.  No CHA-Summer for me.  I did that last year, and regretted it immediately just because I didn't really immerse into summertime like I should.  Short people time keeps a girl *centered*.

But before it's all big, floppy hats, sand castles and umbrella-clad refreshments I am all about booking the late Summer, Autumn and Winter locations all the way until Winter-CHA in Los Angeles.  Ts will be crossed and Is dotted before I hit the beach.  So if you want me at a shop near you, darling reader – now's the time to ask.  I've got a gazillion tentatives out there and the calendar is booking up fast.  Watch the sidebar.  I will provide more details as they firm up.  One more round of phone calls tomorrow should get some schtuff rolling.

Any plans for summer?  I know that besides the beach, I intend to dig out my craft studio from it's pending-Hoarders status.  I plan to go to a weekend crop (insert shocked pause, that hasn't happened in FAR too long).  But that is the extent of the plans.  How about you?

Let's relax, take pictures and make schtuff.  Summer CHA is fast approaching and I will definitely be plugging in with new workshops in mind.  Let me know if you see something I simply must use!

Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch b Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch break. I'll have to build up some courage to paint this one tonight. I could do several studies just on that marvelous hairpiece. I love @stabilo point 88 fineliners for this stage. No. 88/89 has an almost Quin / Nickel Azo Gold to it when you watercolor, as the line is water soluble. I use the others for placement of fine detail, close to the final hue of the watercolor paint I will use. Ages ago I used water soluble graphite, but it makes things quite muddy, especially when working with such contrasts. The actor, @goldarosheuvel, has such a wry set of her lips and a look of discernment. I feel like the Queen is already judging me.. I hope I can capture it in this study.

Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my 4x6 sketchbook. I'm working on a Women of Bridgerton series. @adjoa.andoh is so much more beautiful than I was able to portray tonight. I loved her strong, independent and fiercely loyal portrayal of Lady Danbury. A few more studies to get under the belt before I move on to the larger piece.

New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have had many things come through and others disappointingly fall flat. But in the end pitching my ideas it is like cooking: I may do every step just right and know exactly how to do it; and still the dough doesn't rise, or the whipped cream doesn't reach its peak. Does that mean I stop trying altogether?
.
TBH, when you put your heart into something and it doesn't work out - it's ok to pout, get mad, even have a little stress down. But better things are always on the horizon. I recently wrote a proposal that went nowhere. But meanwhile I proposed something else that took off in ways I could only dream of.
.
I just want to encourage you to keep on swinging for the bleachers.  Your unique gifts have you on somebody's short list and you won't even know until you try, again. And again. A phone call. A text. A Zoom meeting. An email.
.
I believe in you, dreamer.

Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I ca Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I can give as comfort to my family.. What a week!

16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #Quinacrid 16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #QuinacridoneGold was discontinued because the pigment was simply no longer to be found. And here we are with this lovely favorite, #quinacridonenickelazogold (shown in OPEN); and I laugh to think that I love it even more than the original!! What about you? It's a silly thing - but it just reminds me that things can turn out fine even when they seem less so at the time. <3

From Just Paint newsletter, December, 2004.
"First the bad news: We have been forced to discontinue our most venerable color, a color we introduced to the marketplace, and one that soon became our signature color – Quinacridone Gold. The pigment manufacturer will no longer support the required pigment, and despite an exhaustive search, there is simply no other source to be found. 
.
Now the good news: Through a vigilant effort, the GOLDEN Lab, led by fearless director Jim Hayes, has created a well-matched solution to the original Quinacridone Gold. By blending a Quinacridone Gold Red Shade with Nickel Azo, the new blend called Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold achieves the wonderful characteristics of the original Quinacridone Gold, including a warm yellow-gold quality in the undertone as well as a tight tint. Golden Artist Colors, Inc. is excited about the new formula and we hope you too will delight in its rich qualities."
