Frivolity Has It's Place

It's no secret that I do like a little fun, even when making art. I tend to save it for less important projects tho'..... like this ATC...


Flamingo Dancer


...or this collage.
A Bird In The Hand


Even in the days when I made pots, much of my work was very 'tongue in cheek'.


Oops!

This doesn't mean that I don't take art seriously, I do.  Just look at the constant mess my studio is in while I'm pursuing my artistic goals.



On the right of the easel are boxes of beads...another relatively frivolous pastime. There are paintings stacked on the floor everywhere, in various stages of completion. 

Perhaps it's not really a great illustration of my organised chaos, but I'll take more photos.

Don't know why these seem 'washed out' on the blog...not so in the preview.  Perhaps the god 'Blogger' has had a hissy fit and changed some settings.  Wouldn't be surprised.

  9. They actually don't look washed out when I enlarge them. I wonder what that is? Blogger constantly confounds me.
