Artist’s open studio

Excited to go to the open studio this afternoon – I am going to bring my coloring books to work on and I have my cut and paste wish book to show – Courtney just came by to hang out a bit beforehand.

Open Studio was great – will write more later off to get breaded shrimp and fried rice.

Today I chose to color in my snoopy book, I really need to get more glue stick so I can work on some other crafts. After coloring I decided to look at my wish book again and see what has come to pass since I made it (which is about 3 or so years ago)

As I looked through my book I came across some of the stickers I had put in there regarding work and what I wanted it to include these ones hit home… An occasional celebration – Being outdoors – Relaxed atmosphere – Creative and enjoyable. I would say I have found all that through blogging in San Pedro.

Some of the other things I pasted in there stood out to me right now as much as they did when I put them there…

A pleasant surprise is in store for you – fortune cookie message

Get back to basics – Get your hands dirty -Take a Trip – Open your mind

Work smarter not harder.

Making a difference often happens in the smallest ways.

They say nothing is new under the sun – and perhaps they are right. But the combinations of existing elements are infinite. Take your creativity to infinity.

Let your imagination run free – the possibilities run deep.

Connect with your body – connect with yourself.

Some of our greatest riches are not earned they are a pure gift of nature.

    All statements I found ready made (many from paper sample books)and used for cut and paste to make my book. It was a good time to reread them and think about where I am now. There were a few more people that I did not get on film. Will keep you posted on future open studios.
