Updates in May

Well... so many things have been going on! Where do i start?

Graduation time... sniff sniff, my younger one finished high school... and it required 100 errands and award ceremonies. Why don't they make all into one? Maybe because they do not want all their audience in a comma by the time they finish... I guess it is better to have them divided in separate interests I suppose...

I have been taping, editing etc a class, plus one that is back at U-thrive yaay!

Also I started to use more the instagram, which is easier to click an image and post from there.... I still love the blog more but it requires me to sit, think, type something more or less cohesive lol and transfer my said clicked images into the computer.
In general, I have been spending less time online, and more time painting.

Anyway, here is a picture of what's on my desk at the moment. One of my art journals, and the beginnings of some tiny dolls: ♥


Excuse my messy desk. I wanted to participate in the 6th anniversary of WOYWW What's on your work desk Wednesday: Congrats! I have participated in the past, always interesting!

  4. Your painting is gorgeous. You have a way with faces. And it was super that you could join us for this big anniversary bash, too. Can't wait to see how that clay doll develops. Hope you will share it in weeks to come.

    Happy, happy 6th WOYWW anniversary from #1.

  5. Lovely painting in your art journal and those little dolls really are teeny. I don't know how you have the patience to do it!! I certainly wouldn't.....
    Thanks for dropping by my blog earlier, Happy 6th WOYWW,

  6. Happy you chose to participate today. And not at all alarmed by the plate full of teeny body parts! I couldnt agree more about your leisure time- spend more painting and less online, it's definitely better for us and so much more productive - but not easy..I'm as addicted to the blogging as I am to the paper!

  11. I love the painting in your journal! Yes, blogging can take much of your time (especially for me, as I'm not English and have to think harder to write in another language...) but I still prefer it over the other social media. It's more personal I think... Thanks for your visit to my blog earlier. Happy woyww, happy 6th anniversary and a hug from Holland! Marit #43

    1. Yes, they make it so out of proportion here, divided in several days for several things... you would think they finished a master degree or something lol

  25. Hi Martha. I went to see the video on the burn. Totally awesome. Thank you for introducing me to this artist. I will at sometime do a link or post that video on my blog. I can understand his feelings. It's not a bad idea, a cleansing of sort with old and tattered works of past. I may find myself in the studio within the next few days. Thanks Martha.
