I have a very close friend going through a rapidly progressing dementia, so my stress level has been through the roof the last few months. She has good care now and I help out when my teaching schedule allows.
My dogs were very chill today also.

So today I have a tutorial for you unrelated to clay or jewelry. This was made out of necessity and free!!

While in the shower, best place for singing and thinking, I was ruminating about how I could use some magazine holders and didn't want to spend any money (we are on a money diet here at the Ponderosa, like everyone else). So I'm going to show you how I took this very nice cereal box:

I went on an unexpected trip to Chicago with a very good friend who had won the entire trip to see U2. It was smashing.
Generally, I've been having a VERY laid back summer. Just what I needed to recharge. I don't officially go back until August 15 and I'm pretty psyched to see what is in store for me Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08439309308916922626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522351236690470894.post-13359777954657052482011-06-21T23:12:00.000-06:002011-06-21T23:12:14.147-06:00Operation Seek and Destroy ClutterI figured out that my muse might be hiding in my so overly neglected studio so I decided to clean, REALLY CLEAN: labeling, sorting (for beaders that can be a nightmare), trashing, etc. I'm starting to feel the urge to create creep up.

He graduated from high school at 16, went to Texas Tech for a semester (while painting cars for money) to major in law. He still wanted to get further than Lubbock (30 miles from Tahoka) so he joined the Army.

The last few weeks have had me begging for something creative but without the motivation to act. I've known for a month or two that I wanted to take an art related class of some kind this summer to get my mind away from state assessments and special ed paperwork, school in general. I NEED to feed MY soul.
In addition, I did not want to travel outside of El Paso.

It is a set of beautiful earrings that are a mash up of her beads and patina'd links from Miss Fickled Media (aka Shannon Levart). They are gorgeous and you can have a chance at them by just answering a question on Mary's blog. What are you waiting for, get to it (click below).

It was an expensive month, a less than healthful month and a crazy, stupid busy school/work month. On the work front, state testing is OVER for now. Now we wait for the results. It's all too stupid.
May 2011 looks more promising. Almost finished with my ESL certification classes.

I love it. Happy and serene in the same moment for me.But I love wacky also and this girl fills the bill.

Now these are just too many turq choices...
It is creating a turquoise mania for me!!!!

I'm not a "spring, oh isn't it grand" person. I'm an "it's fall, everything is wonderfully dying and stark" person. Also, in El Paso, spring means wind and we are having a doozy today. The wind and I are not good companions. It makes me anxious and unsettled.

While looking for my very naughty AWOL muse I've been visiting famous artists' websites. What a treasure these are. Thanks to all those that keep these sites alive, probably with very little support from our government...but I digress.

Unless you have lived in Japan (I did as a teenager) it is hard to imagine how amazing these people are. In the U.S. (and I'm extremely happy to be an American) we reward individualism and self-reliance, both good things. In Japan, they are all about community and it is amazing to see how a country full of devastating disaster can rise and show us an example of what the world could Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08439309308916922626noreply@blogger.com1
