Fun Times Revue

Do you also check out people everywhere, is it the artist in us looking for something in them? I love to people watch it is a fun activity I want to attend some drawing classes to draw faces only faces so far interest me. I am checking out some places to do that here in Jax. When I was on the Artwalk I really got to check out alot of people very interesting people, but you know it's funny anytime I see a man in a skirt of any type be it a kilt or just a plain skirt if fasinates me. In the picture you see a man who is obviously very comfortable wearing a skirt and has learned how to bend down in one a great concept huh? I think its definetly cool for a man to wear a skirt do you?

Ah heres the pics

Here is the wonderful pictures of the Artwalk.

New Life New City

I have arrive at last in Jacksonville which is commonly known as Jax. My very first exploration was the "Art Walk " and it was fantastic, this artwalkk also featured the PetWalk so you could bring your four legged friends along for the evening. I saw all kinds of wonderful dogs as I will share with you in some of the photos. Please remember to help our friends in the pet rescue areas in your city in any way you can they really need our help with donations and time if you can and most of all please spay and neuter you own pets.You will see lots of local artists as well a fantastic dance theatre F13RCE DANCE THEATRE that preformed some special presentations for the artwalk that was awesome it was great featured in the pictures are Khaila Espinosa,Gabrielle Roulhac,Kyle Wynn,Sydney Keister, Lyndsey Misenar and Tyveze Littlejohn and special thanks to Mayra Fernandez who is the artistic director of the theatre for showing us a little bit of the wonderful talented artists who use her theatre to enhance their wonderful art. Right next door to the thatre is a terrific gallery named Salon which is a must see with lots of exotic and wonderful displays of art featured there. You will also see the famous Florida Theatre and its wonderful decor which I have tried to show in the pictures which cannot even present the obuiance of such a grand old theatre it is. Along our artwalk you will see different artist presenting the art and some of the great buildings especially the one featuring the Jaguar who is wrapped around the building and can be seen from both sides, just so you know the Jaguars us the Jacksonvlle NFL football team . Last picture you will see is of me enjoying some sangria at a wonderful restaurant in the San Marco area here in Jax my litle Atlanta.

HOME FROM HAWAII

Ah there is no place like home accept when you go to Hawaii. It was wonderful it is truly paradise, the surroundings are wonderful. There is always a breeze and it isn't to hot just perfect gosh I hated to come home. The grandbabies were great and we had a blast. This week I will share with you some of my experiences there, some of the places I went, and would you believe an Art Festival was going on so you know I went and got to meet alot of wonderful artists at the show. So this week we will be going back in time to Hawaii to visit a pineapple plantation , a laui, some of the local scenerie and an arts festival and some of the artist that displayed there, so all aboard the blog for a week of adventure with me.

Fun on Friday!

What a wonderful Friday it is, lots of creating going on. The nancycreations site on etsy is featuring some new earrings folks check it out and see for yourself. I have finally tried to schedule some time in the studio to make some jewelry. For me it's always a battle between studios, I have wanted to work on some new texture techniques, and creating a little different style of jewelry. I think as an artist you have to step out of your comfort zone and try something new all the time so you don't get stuck. In the oncoming weeks that is what I want to try to find some time to do. Any input you would like to add is welcome and that doesn't have to always be in the positive form.

It's Monday

Good day folks, sorry I haven't blogged lately been kind of busy planting peach orchards and making wonderful cabochons for the atticktreasures site on etsy. I must now take the time to thank all of you on this new adventure I have undertaken.The new rocks arrive almost daily now and I seem to be spending a fair amount of time at the post office sending cabochons to you so I am keeping busy. I have wanted to make some earring cabochons for years and I am finally taking on that project, presently I am waiting on a special blade for my 4inch saw that will make that possible so get ready. Please take a look at the new site and tell me what you think, for years I only made Big stones well now I make all sizes of stones a little something for everyone I do still however seek out the unusual ones oh I like the common variety too and do them as well but I really like the cool stuff you don't see everyday, well it's out to the cabber to do some more then I want to make some cool jewelry today for the other site nancycreations also on etsy. See you later.

The Monday Morning Blues

Oh gosh it's Monday the start of another week, decisions on what to cab or to make jewelry instead ah decisions, decisions, etc.!!!! Yesterday as I was picking up sticks for my fire pit, oh that is another subject we will get out of the way , I have built myself a fire pit, a artsy fartsy firepit of sorts real easy to do just make a square with 4 cement blocks also you dig a little hole and whammy you got a fire pit redneck style or not selling any jewelry on etsy style at the moment. Then you recycle and clean up the yard at the same time by picking up all the sticks and burning them in the firepit. Okay now back to my original thought pattern, while enjoying picking up sticks I also noticed the wonderful surrounding in which I live and thought I would share it with you so here's some pics hope you enjoy them in the following pics you will see a) cow jewelry maybe a new thing for us jewelmakers, B) cow having a bad hair day just like us humans C) baby calf checking out the stalker (me) D) cows saying BYE end of the blog for the day haha!
