brain [not so storming] clouds


[click image to view large]


Good Friday morning to you,

Did this week fly by or what?

Lately I've been thinking about this project I did last August, in which I took a polaroid every day during that month and wrote down stories and ideas accumulated in that day. It centered around the idea of HOME and then I put them together in a kind of book. This is one of the pages.

My Dad recently sent me some old cameras that belong to my grandfather, who took a ton of pictures. I remember when I was a child he always had a camera tucked into his shirt pocket. So I'm thinking or brainstorming ways to use them in a new project. Hmmmmm... any thoughts?

Susan's shop is open and I have my eye on this cat bank, it's pretty sweet.

Today is the three month-a-versary [I know, that's not a word] of my shop. A small milestone, but I like it. I've been getting some new sunprint paintings together to add next week and I think on Monday I'll add another pinhole piece, No. 5.

And lastly I'd like to introduce you to a brand new blog, of a former preschool student I had the pleasure of working with. Meet E and her Art Collection. I've already added her to my bloglines.

I hope you have a lovely weekend,
H

I had to look twice at the picture on the screen because sometimes your art is too realistic and I couldn't tell if that was a real polaroid or one you had painted! :)

Your photo and story a day would be wonderful. I always feel your work tells a story but it is nice to get a peek into what your thoughts were at the time you did the work, just to compare with my own thoughts.

Thank you everyone!
It was a fun project to do and Emily right now the polaroids and pages are in a binder I have put together. It's simply part of my own collection.
