The Five

The trip, as always goes by... too fast...

When I started the blog I wanted to capture the idea of creativity, and express how it relates to my five senses...the past week is a perfect example...

Sense of sound (subway musicians)

Sense of taste ( breakfast with french fries and mocha latte)

Sense of smell (a stroll thru the Washington DC Botanical Garden)

Sense of sight ( shoe designers... are the new artist)

Sense of touch ( my heart, my child)

The Visit

It's an odd thing?

Getting ready to go visit the child and having to create some jewelry to wear.

BUT, knowing what will make me the happiest is to NOT to return with it....

Its starts with a peak in the box of found treasures...

And, with an obsession to hoard vintage shoe clips...

Dumping beads to inspire...oh, the colors...I LOVE the colors!

And, this one was just too easy....

Hope this little piece only has a one way ticket :)

The Feeling

FINALLY!!
We have stumbled on an auction hall where we feel at "home". 

Now, in the terms of auctions and what would make you feel at "home", you have to have the following:

• People you can easily identify and name, for instance "too much money guy", "pony tail woman", "want all the signs guy", " old furniture-old woman-woman"
• A table tucked in the back of the hall with "fair food", at minimum chili dogs and a few homemade pies
• An auctioneer with knowledge and humor
• Auction helpers who take on the personality and roles of the 7 Dwarfs, i.e. Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy...so on
• And finally, treasures and items that you spot in bottom of boxes...your must haves...that you will try to win from "too much money guy" and "pony tail woman"

My treasures last night ... a group of old trucks that reminded me just a little too much of the junk yard I wandered around a few weeks ago......"we're home"!!

and, I wonder if I may be finding a new love.... in old trucks?

The Saturday

It starts like this... pull a word, read the sentence, get the inspiration

Drink coffee while the mod podge soaks...will I EVER remember to wipe my drips before I close the lid?

Book ripping, canvas painting... more coffee while drying...if it was not 8:00am you might substitute wine in for coffee :)

The ONLY way to stamp and mod podge,  is with wonderful Stazon Ink

A bit more coffee...

and, Saturday has started off just the way I like it with paint under my nails
