While I have not posted in quite a while, I do think it was good to just be still and be! Reflecting on where I have been in life and where I am now is just fine with me. I took the last year off of much of my visual arts and entered the world of Theatre. I completed my first year of Theatre school and learned so much about me along the way. Somehow part of the journey for me was to reclaim my voice. There is a lovely kids show out called "Finding Nemo" Perhaps my time at school was helping me find "Me" mo. So maybe I was the work of art worth taking the time to invest in.
But the most beautiful work of art that I have recently had the opportunity to meet is my new grandson! Wow, the most adorable little man you have ever seen! O.k. so I am a little bias on that one, but Wow! While he has not given me permission to give his name out, and I would like to protect his privacy, I can say that he came into this world at a whopping 8lbs and 7oz and measured 22 inches long. My kids have been asking for months if I would like to be called Grandma or Nana, Gran or Nan. Not sure yet and maybe I will let the little one decided for me. All I know is that this is a genuine Masterpeice, totally original little priceless one. He took 9 months to bake and came out soooooo perfectly well done! When you look at the marvels of creation, I said to my son "How can they say there is no God?" To me this living little replica of my son and his wife prove to me that there is!
Getting back to Theatre, I have discovered that I love all aspects of it except hanging lights till 3am. I really enjoy costuming and design and have helped costuming for several shows. In my visual arts life I have been working on altered shoes and some mixed media and encaustic work.
Hope life finds you well my friends on this blustery winter night! As we say in Canada (Actually a little bit of RED GREEN here for you "Keep your stick on the ice, we are all in this together".
