Childhood seeds
This photo reminds me of my own childhood. Mom was a teacher and had her set of stamps to stamp her student's notebooks and homework. I was one of her students. I used to play with her teacher's stuffs. Just like now, nothing pleased me more than Nature and a table filled with arts and craft items.
Earthquakes....
I'm no longer a virgin. Yesterday in the wee hours I felt the ground shake for the first time here in California - or anywhere else. It was pretty neat. The epicenter was on the lake. I heard a boom and the room jerked back and forth. I just smiled, like a kid on a swing. I wanted to be hovering over the lake like a bird to see the patterns that might have formed on the water, and how far they went.
I'm no longer in a rut. I'm feeling creative again, tho days pass by incredibly fast. I have to look at the calendar all the time to identify what day of the week it is. It's all a fog. And I like it. I've relaxed. There's no rush, no need to spazz. It is what it is. I breathe, I sleep as much as I need to, and I dream cool dreams.
My husband just brought me fresh, made from scratch, delicious pumpkin bread and jasmine tea. Yes, it's the wee hours. So bohemian. It is what it is. Just relax. What will be will be. Big lists, little time, high demands. Breathe. Do what you can when you can, no worries.

ARRRGH, need solitude to create!!!!!
It's really really really hard for me to be creative and get things done if there's a human or animal requiring my attention, talking to me, moving, making noise...I need to be alone and in silence, or to listen to an inspirational talk on the computer. I don't even like music. I know, I'm strange, I'm odd, but I'm happy with it b/c it's what makes me unique and a creative being.
Being constantly interrupted puts me in a state of rage and I become hazardous to others.
I need a studio where I can lock the door. Please, Universe?
Thank you!
Something I have on Etsy right now. I'm painting more driftwood. Below, something that's almost done:

Mid-January
2012...
What a year this will be. I expect it to have a little or a lot of everything, so we better brace ourselves for the ride. We do attract what we expect so I'm focusing on good, while not taking my eyes away from what needs awareness and attention. There's no use in being a Pollyanna-type, as our world and lives are complex.
I'm focusing on me and art, finally. Noticed how easy it is for me to allow everything to take focus from that, so I'm making my goal to always have brush in hand. Facebook is a huge distraction, so I'm also rethinking my presence there. Not that I'm going to leave...I do so many things on FB, so much networking. I tried last month to deactivate it. That deactivated also my biz page so when I had art made I went back, to post it. That reactivated everything. My break lasted less than 48 hrs but I had a taste for life away from FB, and t'was good. I was having a lot of headaches then. I think it was a combination of too much time on the computer, my shabby reading glasses, the dry air in the house, and lack of proper sleep and hydration.
It's all better now. I am really concerned about EMFs...it seems we are engulfed by it everywhere we go. Being in front of a computer screen all day long can't help my overall health. Just sucks that when I go outside I face chemtrails. Trying to not let that get to me also, as Nature still stands and it still heals. Just looking at greenery, the lake and the critters that gather around it is awesome. We live in Shangri-la. Today I went to a class and on the way to and from I saw many different types of wildlife. That's how it is here in Lake County, California. Just beautiful. Here's a pic from the North Shore. I live just a few miles down the road...
On this note, here are 2 amazing videos I saw on FB last night:

Hope your year is going well.

Miguel Lazo, batik artist from Mexico...and art thief.
The pic above is fake artwork. I've had this happening to many of my friends but it's the first time it happens to me.
Miguel Lazo, a batik designer from Isla Mujeres (Mexico), is violating international copyright laws by copying my designs, repainting them and selling to gallery owners who go to Mexico to buy art for resale in the US or elsewhere. Who knows how many have done so? Who knows where all of these stolen pieces are now? A friend of mine was visiting a gallery in Sacramento, CA, on Dec. 2011, called Spanglish Arte, and recognized not only my designs but those of 2 other artists. The gallery owner was taken by surprise and graciously agreed to work with us on this. She was buying art from this guy for 15 yrs, but she said only in January of 2011 he came up with these "new" style. The art thief style, that is. I was also informed that there's a store/gallery in Isla called Astlan that's selling stolen art made by this guy to tourists.
Miguel sells his stuff at the plaza in Isla Mujeres. He's got it good...it's a beautiful place. I might just take a trip to visit him sometime, and buy some of my art, as repainted by him.
If you know this guy or can give me any info on him, pls email me or post here.
I'm also looking for the address of the store/gallery called Astlan. Thanks! Gracias!

Social media diet
I'm taking a much needed break from Facebook. I deactivated my account. Going on my 2nd day. It sucks that my FB page, where I show my art, also goes away. But I've got this blog and email.
My first day off FB went like this: I basked in the sun while reading advice from the Dalai Lama. It was cold but I manage to get warm after I found a non-windy area. The sky was clear, no nasty airplanes spraying chemtrails. I played with the dog. I ate 2 avo/onion sammiches. I was greeted by a neighbor when I wanted to be alone (people, don't assume someone sitting alone wants your company, pls...a common mistake!). I took a nap. I watched documentaries. I finished a little mermaid with an apron (available).
I cried. Lots. Feeling lonely in such a crowded world is quite a feeling. Not due to lack of company, really. I've many friends I can call. It's existential loneliness, the one company can't cure. I know why but it's TMI. The dog knew, and she hung with me, being goofy all the while, which makes me laugh. Animals...what would this world be w/o them? So pls don't eat them all.
