travel, travel + more travel

Today I have been packing like a crazy person!

I am leaving tomorrow to teach 5 classes at Art and Soul in Virginia. I get back home on Monday night, am home for 24 hours, then leave the next day for Louisville KY to demo at the NAMTA show! THEN I get home from that trip am home for two days and then leave to teach a 3 day class in Bonita Springs (spaces still available!)

So today I was really packing for 3 trips at once!

I will finally be back "officially " in DC on May 19th! I'm not counting the two days I am home in between trips!

It might be hard for me to find a spare minute to blog. But I'll be Twittering! Follow me on Twitter to get the latest updates from my travel adventures!

Store monogamy?

Is there such a thing as store monogamy? If so, I must be involved in a serious monogamous relationship with a store called zara. It's the number one place where I can satisfy my shopping needs within a student's budget.

This delicious sheer, long white t was only 18 euro's! I'm expecting to get a lot of wear out of it, and not just this summer. Outfit picture is to follow within the next few days!

Which store do you never leave empty handed?

dogs in heaven

our niece Jacquelin made this artwork for us in tribute to our dog Toby.

Her artwork takes place in heaven - she has Toby on the left and her dog Duchess who passed away last year on the right.

Duchess first asks Toby if he wants to play, then Toby says yes.

In the second bubble she has Duchess say "You are cured!" Then Toby says "I'm cured!" (Toby had terminal oral melanoma) .

Such a touching work of art from Jacquelin. I cried my eyes out when I got it in the mail last night. So sweet!! Thank you Jacquelin!!

workshop updates!

I can't believe that May is around the corner! I have my last 3 day comprehensive workshop of the year coming up in Bonita Springs Florida May 15-17th. The class size is kept small so there is lots of one-on-one instruction, the Art League of Bonita Springs is an amazing facility!

Here's the class description:

Inspired Claudine's book, Collage Discovery Workshop: Beyond the Unexpected, this three day, intensive collage workshop will focus on techniques, color, and composition when used in the assemblage format. You will learn a combination of painterly techniques to enhance the surface of your collage artwork and experiment with transfer methods, printmaking techniques and idea generation tools. After we've gotten our hands dirty, we'll put together a series of 3-d cigar-box collages, using the depth of the cigar box format to bring prominent elements to the foreground. I'll also show you how to become more comfortable with using your own drawing and line work in your collages along with exercises to practice and tips you can use right away. Even if you have never collaged or painted before you'll leave this workshop feeling like a pro! This one-on-one instruction is not to be missed! Workshop is available to artists of all skill levels - beginning to advanced. To register call the Art League of Bonita Springs at (239) 495-8989. Download a workshop itinerary and supply list as a Word Document.

Makes a perfect Mother's Day gift!

And I could never bring you flowers

Floral fabrics can be very sweet and innocent. So I like to pair them with a blazer and heels or boots for some more edge. Yesterday I got this one from zara and it's adorable!

It has pleated details on the front, almost like ruffles, and a black slip dress on the inside that pops up under the arms and neckline because the floral dress is cut a bit lower.
I got to wear it today because it´s so sunny! Sunny weather always makes me happy.

International Monetary Fund is Sitting on a Pot of Gold

As a member of one.org, I received just now a letter from Ms. Roxane Philson of ONE.org.  And, I am so angry and frustrated after I read the letter. I must post this letter here in my blog so that everybody must know that the "Economy of Greed" which slowly killing the majority of the population in the world is at work. 

Hope you join us for this noble cause and PLEASE DO READ THE LETTER below?


Dear___,

In this time of crisis when resources are scarce, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is sitting on a pot of gold, a small fraction of which could help the world’s poorest countries stay afloat.

Please take action right now and ask the managing director of IMF to sell some gold reserves to help the poorest countries weather the downturn.

Click here to sign our petition to the IMF and send an email directly to Dominique Strauss-Khan, Managing Director of the IMF:
http://www.one.org/international/gold/o.pl?id=906-1123744-_lDDFLx&t=3

Petition text:
Please use the revenue from gold sales to create as much funding as possible for developing countries and ensure that this doesn’t create new debts or have harmful conditions attached.

G20 leaders have called upon the IMF to sell a tiny proportion of their gold reserves to increase the money available to developing countries. Please encourage them to deliver this and to do so in an honourable way – without creating more crippling debt or having harmful strings attached. The only conditions should be that the money is used to fight poverty in a way that enables people to hold their government to account.

Some of the IMF’s gold hasn’t been re-valued in decades and is worth much more now than when it was originally valued. Selling a portion of this at current market prices would generate massive revenue for the IMF, to the tune of billions of dollars. By selling the gold to countries for their national reserve banks, the gold never comes on the open market and won’t impact global gold prices. The IMF could then make this injection of money available to developing countries.

So the stage is set for significant sums to be raised to help fight poverty in the downturn in a way that don’t cost you or me or gold producers. The IMF has until April 25 to come up with a proposal. Please let them know how important this is.

Thank you for taking part,

Roxane Philson, ONE.org


After sending my personal letter to Dominique Strauss-Khan, Managing Director of the IMF, I received an auto reply from ONE.org like the one below. For email distribution to all my contacts.

Subject: Golden opportunity

Hi,

I just signed a petition and sent an email to the Managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and I hope that you'll do so too here:
http://www.one.org/international/gold/?rc=goldtaf

At the G20 summit in London, the IMF was tasked with coming up for a plan to sell some of their gold reserves to provide emergency funding for developing countries struggling through the financial crisis. I sent a letter to the IMF, because I want them to provide as much funding as they can, and provide it in way that won't create debt for developing countries, which may find their economic recovery cut short if they have to take high interest loans.

The issue of debt is an important one, and we need to let the IMF know that people care about it so they do the right thing. Please join me in taking action to let them know here:
http://www.one.org/international/gold/?rc=goldtaf

Thanks,

 Please, if you happen to read this, I beg you to join us. Thanks!

a tribute to our beloved toby

Today is a very sad day. We helped our little dog Toby cross over the rainbow bridge. For the last 6 weeks when his cancer (oral melanoma) came out of remission, our world here stopped. We knew our time left would be short and we made every day count - spending hardly a second away from him. Appointments and vacations were canceled, work was put on hold, friends were told we'd visit with them later. Toby became #1 priority cuddling and loving him every chance we got!

Through our grief we are concentrating on the happy memories we have of Toby.

Almost 7 years ago to the day we adopted Toby from a Pekingese Rescue in Lakeland Florida. His story started out sad, discarded with heartworm at a rescue by a woman who wanted to put him down because she didn't want him anymore -- but he ended up with us -- loved beyond belief and spoiled rotten - just how every dog should be treated!

People would literally stop on the street when they saw Toby and exclaim and make a huge fuss over him. Sometimes the people who would stop would be not the type of people you would expect to love a little fluffy dog. I remember when we first moved to DC, Paul and I were walking Toby and a car playing loud rap music pulled up. The car stopped, and out came a group of guys with gold teeth very "gangsta" looking. When they saw Toby they started gushing and were making cooing noises at him and calling him pup pup. Toby soaked it all in. We couldn't go on a walk without someone making a huge fuss over over Toby and he loved it. He knew how cute he was! The barber shop guys would come out to say hi to him and then later check on him when he was sick. Everyday I would walk by there they would say "it's good day today - Toby is still here!"

Toby helped us make many friends in Florida with our neighbors and here now in DC with other dog walkers, new friendships were blossoming.

Despite his cuteness Toby had a grumpy old-man personality which we thought was hilarious and charming. He could be a cranky sleeper, if we moved around too much on the bed he would let us know with a growl and it always made us giggle. Grumpy T, he was lovingly called.

Toby had his way of doing things, he didn't like to eat food from a plate or a bowl so he quickly trained me to hand feed him and he got hand fed every day for the entire 7 years we had him.

He loved going over to my Mom and Dad's when we lived in Florida, we called their house "Chicken Grandma's" because my Mom would make freshly boiled chicken just for Toby's Sunday visits and as soon as we got out of the car, Toby would race to the door excited and smiling and waiting for his chicken.

There are so many more wonderful memories and so much that Toby has taught us and brought to our lives. The world is a lonelier place without Little T in it, but I feel blessed we got to spend 7 years with him, each and every day was precious.

We miss you already little guy!

Thank you to everyone who follows me on Twitter or Facebook, your sweet messages have been so appreciated you have been there for me through this process and I thank you for that!

EDITED FRIDAY 12:28pm EST:
Thank you so much everyone of you for your wonderful and moving comments, knowing that we are not alone with this heartbreak comforts both Paul and I. We read your beautiful comments together and remember Toby. Thank you!!

easy faux peeled paint technique

I thought I'd share with you a new technique that I discovered! I'll show you how to create a faux peeled paint look using Ranger's Perfect Medium and Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints.


Before I started I've painted a Maya Road chipboard house with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Modern Red before starting. You could do this on any non-porous surface, painted papers, painted cigarbox, chipboard, painted canvas etc. In order for the technique to work you'll need to paint your surface first either with color acrylic paint or Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-Medium.

Using the corner of the Perfect Medium Pad, wipe over the house shape in a few places to create a streaky look.


It should look like this. With a few streaks of Perfect Medium around the house shape. Make sure not to put it everywhere.


Paint over the entire house shape Here I used Claudine Hellmuth Studio in Painterly Pink You will notice that the paint resists and makes a peeled paint look.

It's an easy and quick way to create an aged effect! Hope you enjoy experimenting with this technique!

If you make a project and post it to your blog using any of my Studio Line products, let me know and I'll list it when I do linky blog post! Also for the instructors out there: send me an email if you are teaching a class using my product line and I'll mention it too!

I have a linky blog post planned for later this week with links to some fabulous projects so stay tuned!

Hand it over

All of these items would fit perfectly in my wardrobe!

new from the studio

I thought I would share with you something new from my studio! Here's a custom artwork order that I finished up and shipped out.

Working on this piece makes me want to go to the beach! Is summer here yet?

when it rains it pours!

Yesterday was a crazy day. Our two year old kitty Stanley (who was diagnosed with juvenile onset heart disease in Dec.) started coughing late during the night. The first cough I passed off as a hairball but when he started doing it every hour or even at one point every 30 minutes I knew this wasn't normal. First thing in the morning I called Stan's cardiologist and they told me to take him directly to the emergency center that is beneath the cardiology unit.

When I got there and the Emergency vet examined Stanley both of us were thinking the worst that his heart disease had progressed to congestive heart failure. Stan was placed on oxygen and then I went home to anxiously await the results of his echocardiogram.

Long story short! There is good news. It turns out his heart condition hasn't worsened it has even stabilized in some areas - wonderful news!! The coughing and lung fluid was diagnosed as feline asthma. Which is still something that we have to contend with but much easier to manage and live with than congestive heart failure. Whew!!

Stanley was sent home last night and along with him came his new treatments. He will get inhaled meds just like what people take for asthma. He's on Flovent and also Albuterol. We use this little Kitty face mask called AeroKat to deliver the medicine. I was so nervous last night the first time I tried it but Stan was patient with me and it wasn't so bad. I think in a week I'll be a pro!

I am looking for an in home air purifier, to keep out pollen etc to help his asthma. Right now at the top of my list is the Oreck. Any other suggestions?

The whole time I have been dealing with all this Toby's terminal cancer and Stan's heart condition and now asthma I keep thinking of my friend Bernie at A Place to Bark. How she does this and more for all the animals she saves is amazing. Not only has this been completely emotionally draining but also very expensive too. Bernie does this every day ten times over with every single animal she rescues! She is truly an incredible person! She also needs our help. She is having a fundraiser drive to finish her shelter. Here is the link!

back home again!

I taught at Ranger U this weekend. Ranger U is held at the Ranger Industries factory and offices and is an intensive workshop covering into all the Ranger product lines. Twenty four lucky students got to attend, learn techniques and go home with a suitcase full of product to play with!

I taught my segment on Saturday and introduced everyone to the Claudine Hellmuth Studio product line. I had new techniques to share with this great group and it was a super fun time!


Here's a photo of Tim Holtz, Suze Weinberg and I at the Saturday night designer forum. Here we are joking around.

And a class photo. I am standing on a stool, I am not that tall. I wish!

Don't forget to check out Suze's blog. She blogged everyday of Ranger U and shares some great techniques with you there!

Shoot me with your Laser gun

Laser 3.14 is a graffiti artist that writes slightly poetic / philosophical lines on walls all over the city. Whenever I’m cycling through Amsterdam, I keep my eyes open for them as they're hidden everywhere! I wondered if he knew that people like myself look out for his work. Imagine my surprise when a few days ago I read: ARE YOU READING ME? written just two doors from my apartment! Answer to Laser: I do and I love it!

And it whispers to me softly

Look of the day

h&m blazer - zara t - ebay leather leggings - mango batent biker jacket - Mexx boots

on the road again

Tomorrow I'll be heading up to the Ranger offices for a weekend of art and techniques at Ranger University! I'll be driving this trip instead of flying (Ranger offices are only 4.5 hours drive from DC!) and I am ecstatic about not having to go to the airport.

Paul will be here this weekend with Toby, he even arranged his work schedule so he would have Friday off to doggie sit while I am away. Right now Toby is is good form (knock on wood) a few days ago things were really dicey. He was so unresponsive and lethargic + not eating we thought we didn't have much time left with him. But then he perked up today! He's eating again and enjoying short walks, napping and he even played for about 10 seconds today. Amazing to see him play even for a few seconds, he hasn't wanted to play in weeks.

It really is day-by-day with a doggie with terminal cancer. I am starting to learn that just because he has one bad day the next one doesn't necessarily have to be worse, if we are lucky it's a better day!

This is a short trip with little spare time, so I am not even taking my lap top. I'll be checking in via phone on Twitter and Facebook. Have a great weekend!
