my distracted life

Did you ever notice that life always seems to get in the way of art. Yes I know you have to make time for it - and I try to....but I always wonder what kind of art I could create if I did it at say 1:00 in the afternoon with the sun out and the birds a chirping rather than 1:00 in the evening with the stars and the moon to keep me company?!
I have so many interests...and responsibilities. I have a full time plus some job which totally zaps up my creative juices but on the other hand I think it's total lack of creativity sometime spurs me on to do something beautiful and lasting.
My hubby and I love to search and recreate our childhood by going to toy, flea and antique shows. The dustier the better!!!!!
We are currently on a quest to find tin toys from the 50's and 60's. I love it - going tomorrow - will post pics of the newest, latest and greatest.

sneak peek at what's coming soon!!!!



Today is Rosh Chodesh Elul - exactly ONE MONTH before Rosh Hashana - The Jewish New Year!

When I was little I loved to collage. I used to rummage through the art teachers stuff and CREATE treasures from little bits and peices she had hiding in the mess of her art closet. Well...I have reverted to my roots and have started designing the collages that will ultimately become Rosh Hashana cards, plates and boxes and Sukkot posters!!!
This collage is crafted from vintage shana tova cards over 40 years old!
Check in! Join the conversation - I would love to know what you think!!!!
