Are you bundled up tight because it is cold outside? Are you on a sunny beach soaking in the rays? Or are you weaving through a crowded street clinging to your stuff? Are you in a room full of friends or family but really alone? What is your body saying? Is that really what you want to say?
Enjoy!

You have to take the steps, and get out of the studio/house/office and walk around. My mind gets cloudy and overwhelmed with stuff, to do lists, should do lists, want to do lists, and then I get nothing done. I drink a lot of coffee and check email and Facebook numerous times. Still not much gets done.
It seems counter productive to go for a walk to get things done, but it always works for me. I take a 20 minute walk around the rail trail, and I can always get some clarity or inspired action for my current project. Try it!

Just step outside, or look outside and, I bet you can find something to inspire you to smile. Today, I climbed through the snow to get these dried up milkweed pods. I noticed the squirrel tracks leading up to the bird feeder. Did you notice anything that made you smile today?
Many are smiling about Make Monotypes – the online printmaking class. Check out the details here.

I am drawn to fiber and line. I use thread all the time to connect elements in my monotype prints. I was so pleased when I found the red feather bundle of yarn at EXCL last week. I also got some nylon stuff the has very delicate fibers. I have been layering lots of delicate tangles. Hmm? Wonder what it means.
Enjoy!

Today I did a little printing on a 16″ x 20″ glycerin plate. I am playing with threads and fibers. I rigged up a cool pin registration system and I am printing on Canson mixed media paper. It is not my usually style but fun to try something new. Now I am journaling on it with multi-colored pencils.
Did you play today? There’s still time – go for it.
