All and all it was a nice weekend. Grand illusions on Friday didn't come together, but it was a peaceful couple days. Got some arranging done in the studio and did start a canvas tonight. No cards or mock ups of cards happened this weekend. Couldn't find any wire at the local haunts, so I guess I'm going to have to break down and order some. Sooooo, no new organically wired creations this weekend either.
The wind has been wicked today and is suppose to continue through the night and most of the day tomorrow. The Texas flag literally blew away today and the American flag is being whipped to death. Can't say this is uncommon for spring here, but if Father wind could keep the gusts below 40 it would be nice!
Sleep tight cyber friends. Till next time.....

Weekend Creations
Ahhhhh.......the crazy policy driven, dull gray cubical, life draining, creative killing work week is behind me. It's time for color and it's spring here in TX and Mother Nature has woken up from her winter slumber. Pansies are blooming as well as 2 of our roses and the iris' have gorgeous stalks and swelling buds. Hollyhock is turning into small shrubs right now and the bluebonnets are oh so spectacular right now (first year they came back from seed, as we planted several last year). And the larkspur.....Oh MY, are they every going to put on a show and it seems that the Nigella (Love-in-the-Mist) is in competition with them to see who can put on the biggest show! Either way we win cause it's going to be beautiful.
So it's time to create a little color of my own. Last weekend I attended 2 classes with Lisa Renner and was introduced to polymer clay. I think I might have found a new love, well, that and doing organically wired jewelry using the polymer clay. I made another batch of "stones" last night and had a blast. Now it's time to pick up some wire and get putting those new stones to use!
Also up for the weekend to do list is making 2 cards. Totally missed my Dad's B-Day and my stunning brides is coming up this week. I have such a mental block when it comes to creating cards. Not sure why, but I think I over think it and end up getting frustrated and it's always the thing of trying to do something totally different then I've done before. Oh what am I going to do?!?!?
Catch ya when the weekend is over to let you know how the creativeness went!
Maybe some pictures to ;-)
