Hanging Out With Creative People

...New "Wrist Phat", "Skull Caps" & "Flap Hats" in the Shop!
Working on my ArtFire Shop to include these items and many more. Will alert fans when they are ready!


"The old ways are dead. And you need people around you who concur. That means hanging out more with the creative people, the freaks, the real visionaries, than you're already doing. Thinking more about what their needs are, and responding accordingly. Avoid the dullards; avoid the folk who play it safe. They can't help you any more. Their stability model no longer offers that much stability. They are extinct, they are extinction."

Character Formation?



"Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. 
And in that momentous fact lies the peril
and responsibility of our existence."
~Elihu Burritt

Meet the newest "characters" at A Work of Art Studio:
Wired Garden Girls! Galvanized Fenced Wire figures to place in a prominent place in one's garden.
My talented friend, Dave Jensen, has made me some heavier duty girls to cover in mosaic; I asked if he could make some "lighter" ones to 'gardenize', and these are his first born. (Kind of fun to hang jewelry on too).

"Spring is a true reconstructionist"~Henry Timrod

My Uncle's Magnolia (Tulip Tree as they are known in Michigan), obviously thinks Winter won't last much longer. I learned long ago that Mother Nature always gives hints of things to come. 
Such amazing trees that give so much beauty for such a short time. 



"Earth and Spring, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes mud..."
May you all enjoy the first signs and fruits of Spring! Peace, Molly
