Finally!

With the help of my 2 good friends,

my Barnes and Nobles display is finally up!

Yea!!!!!!!

It's up through the month of November.

I also got the next available date,

 October 1st, 2013!!!

Do you think I'll get a few pieces done early this time?!

Take a peek at a few pieces on display...

Tried my hand at photography this time.

Sorry for the blur! I was giving out Halloween candy and snapping photos!

I'd like this pear painting in my kitchen.

 A few mixed-media pieces

Watercolor

Hope you enjoyed the mini display.

Maybe I'll learn how to use my camera by 2013!
I'd love to do a photo display next time.

I've got to learn the camera manually-except I really hate reading manuals!
I'm a visual, hands on learner.
Ok-I'll give the manual a try! I have a year or so!

Have a good week!

Deadlines

I admit it-

I am a procrastinator.

When I know something needs to be done, I mark the calendar right away.

I never miss a deadline, but for some reason I wait until the last minute to get going. Guess I work best under pressure. That's when I get creative! I think that's why I loved working in the advertising industry. 

Everything was always changing and needed yesterday!

Well, I have a display going up in the local Barnes and Nobles cafe on Oct. 1st.

Now, I've known about it since last Fall when I had my last display there.

Did I make a plan and create something new each week?

I can't create a little at a time. I need pressure to get those wheels turning!

I'll start pulling out paintings to see what I've done. If I don't like a painting, I'll use it in a mixed-media piece.

Now here it is, about 2 weeks until Oct. 1st!

See, it's not like I don't have anything!  

I do have pieces to work with.

This is the fun part, putting it all together!
Cutting, tearing, gluing, matting, framing.

The worst part is actually going into the cafe and hanging my work. 

I'm always embarrassed! I bring my good friend with me each time

to hurry along the process so I can get out of there.

Who else out there creates like this?

 Do you?

I'd love to hear about your creative process!

Now I'd better get to my creative space and get creating!

Have a great day!
