The photography is not the best lighting. I finished it last night and have been out all day so just took it now at dusk with a standup light blaring on it. <br />
<br />
I've done other circles but like this one above the best.<br />

I've also done lots of Yupo experimenting. Next time.<br />
<br />
Might not get around to many blogs this week as we leave tomorrow for England for my daughters wedding. We love the groom but I do wish he was an Australian not a very English English man.<br />
<br />
I'm English my self. After my dad died I sighed with relief that I wouldn't have to make that trip again. But I have. Last year to meet the grand daughter and now for the wedding. Safia was two months when we met her. Look at her now!! Eleven and a half months. It will be worth it.<br />

I think I'll put the red through a black canvas.<br />
Here is the new red. I tried taking close ups of some of the little pictures but they are too close up!<br />

I had a light shade marathon this week. Such fun. Sold my first one yesterday morning at a networking breakfast I took four. My photographer friend took this pic. You really can only photograh one at a time to make them look like they look with the light on.<br />

And finally - Someone a couple of weeks ago mention Yupo paper, Having never heard of it I researched it and found our local art shop sells big sheets of it. So I bought some and painted on it last night. I LIKE IT, Next step - by next week - cut and weave.<br />

More colour always. So I have tried two different things. First, the blue on purple. I've had these blue bits hanging around for weeks. Never sure about them because they are so pale = wishy washy in my world!<br />
<br />
The other day I thought "right purple background is what they need". I used rice paper on the canvas then painted it purple then ...well what often happens with me I DID TOO MUCH. I don't think the splashes of iridescent work. I tried painting over them again and its settled them a little bit. I tweaked the picture a bit in Picasa so it looks brighter. Cheating I know!<br />

I have also been trying red on red. Also not so great. Once again I DID TOO MUCH to the base. I dribbled interference on the red and ended up doing far too much and it looked chaotic and busy so I've painted two different reds over them and the varnished the red cos it looked so flat. Red is a difficult colour to photograph! I still think it needs something but not sure what. Open to suggestions.<br />

Meanwhile I have set up an Etsy shop for the lamp shades. I have 7 waiting to be painted and am experimenting with something other than rice paper. Partly cos I can't find any sellers in Australia and have had to go back to my NZ supplier and get it shipped over, via a friend, from there. <br />

The process to create what I weave is very organic, Then it's all measurements and straight lines, its a odd combination but works I think. The muse desended on me out of nowhere at the beginning of March. This is the first one I did. Each square is 2cm x 2cm (about 3/4 of an inch.) I had made this paper months and months before.<br />

I fell in love with the whole concept. I made mistakes with this one so the next one didn't have those mistakes. And I wanted bigger squares which meant making more paper.<br />
<br />
This is how I make the paper. Squeeze paint and fold it over and roll it out. <br />

Then I make 'secondary' paper from the squeezed out paint. Don't have a photo of it. But here is some other paper. My heart opens when I find little pictures in the randomness. <br />

Life has changed considerably since June 2012 which is when I put up the updated Affirmation ABC. I now live in Australia, a bit north of Byron Bay. Work as a funeral celebrant when the work is there - its very patchy - and do accountability coaching when I can get it. And as the of last two and a half months painting again. The muse just descended and I have been going ever since.<br />
Today I am showing my lights, same paper as the Affirmation ABC but stuck on to plastic and put over a small square frosted "lamp desk" Next week I will put up some of the new art. I hope this isn't too crafty. But I have it and can upload it and come back to PPF!<br />

Then I painted it red, I just can't help myself then yesterday I started to over paint and the first coat started coming off. I do not know why. I glued the pages on with something acrylic so it should be compatible. So now I am going to gesso the whole thing and start again. All good, sticking on more pictures gives me something to do. Hope it doesn't happen again.<br />

He is now out of hospital and rehabilitation and is back living in his home with a 24 hour carer. Not ideal but better than it was. He was doing so well before he got sick and then off his feet - as they say. He is now walking with a zimmer frame or at best two sticks.<br />
<br />
Anyway, now I am back and I see <a href="http://www.paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Paint Party Friday</a> is into its second year and there are almost a 100 people signing up. WOW.<br />

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I have done very little art but have been writing. That's much more transportable.

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> In the original they have brown eyelashes not red as it would seem from these photographs, And yes folks, its a young adult novel! I'm about half way through and a bit um ... stuck in transition but am sure its going to flow again very soon. Still writing it everyday, just changing my mind about how its going to happen - a lot.</div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Also going to start work soon on some illustrations for a dinosaur story for kids. I am going to do some paintings and my partner is going to write the story. Hopefully. If he finds time. Maybe. Anyway that's the plan! So down the track I will start showing those. </div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

I was but had a resurgence of enthusiasm thanks to Bernadette (call her B) of <a href="http://www.pinchme.co.nz/">Pinch Me</a> fame. She gave me an elegant kick up the arse to get on with it. And I did. Studio a mess but it's finished. Now I can show it to some kids. <br />

So here it is after a four month break.<br />

I thought that I would make a back ground to paint on, something random as they seem to work best. I started tearing up bits of citrasolved National Geographics. Then I found myself tearing other images then cutting out was what I wanted to do. The only deal, I don't choose, I just grab and any image I pick up I have to use somehow. I have a huge supply of magazine images for my <a href="http://www.soulcollagenz.blogspot.com/">SoulCollage work</a> so there is lots to grab from. <br />
This is it so far. It will look very different next time I show it! <br />

I spent ages trying to find files and crop things and then couldn't find them again. Then I get sucked into thinking I can do something clever with the collage function and I loose all the pictures. I detest it. Really I do.<br />
<br />
So I made place mats cos we have the house rented out for 15 nights over Christmas and the table is a bit tatty so I thought place mats would help. This is what they look like in all their unedited glory!<br />

I am praying for easy weather. I am less and less keen on the chunky stuff. I am doing endless <a href="http://www.thework.com/">The Work</a> judgement sheets on sailing. I have seen a glimmer of the joy it could be but don't feel it yet. Sailing is hard, is that true!<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great holiday season. Will get round to what I can and see you all some time next year.<br />

I have just made my first lot of delicious Mrs Higgins type biscuits. <a href="http://www.nzfavouriterecipe.co.nz/recipes/desserts/317-best-big-fat-chewy-mouthwatering-chocolate-chip-cookies">Recipe here</a>. and for the other recipes, just click on the name <a href="http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/9164/chocolate+caramel+slice">Chocolate caramel slice</a>,<a href="http://www.foodlovers.co.nz/recipes/takaka-oaty-ginger-crunch.html"> Ginger crunch</a>, carrot cake ( this has been in my cook book for years) and lemon yogourt muffins (Mollie Katzen - Enchanted Brocolli Forest) to go!!<br />
<br />
I made another tartan on acid picture. If I hasd more time I would gather together the 6 other pictures of the pictures underneath this one. It's a very well used canvas! It might be the perfect way to paint with not a lot of time but in the end as a picture it's very so what. It doesn't DO anything. I think I might just try another with matching colours not opposites. I have been painting at the end of the day after making my phone calls selling <a href="http://cutnpaste.co.nz/">Cut 'n'Paste</a> and then have about an hour where I listen to a talking book and slop on paint. Brilliant. Now, to make something I like!<br />

I forgot to put this blog up on <a href="http://www.paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/">Paint Party Friday</a> last week. I took last Thursday off to finish this painting cos I was so keen to see how it was going to work out. Unfortunately not too well. I painted layers and layers of paint with strips of very narrow masking tape in between. The tape didn't come off cleanly, paint had snuck underneath. It ripped some of the top paint off and it looks like "tartan on acid" at least that is how Terry described it! Shame cos its a good way for me to paint now that I am not having focussed painting time - just layer after layer of colour. Although I don't really like the way this one worked out I am doing another cos its such a great way to paint now and then. I have painted over the top of the moonlight with black tree I made for the exhibition. I will show a before and after when its done!<br />

The other thing I did was a butterfly for the<a href="http://twodressesstudio.blogspot.com/2010/08/butterfly-effect-open-is-calling-you.html"> Butterfly Effect</a> - see my side bar - with oil pastels. Haven't used them like that for a couple of years. Its also not great but then I am not after great at the moment, just doing!<br />

And WOW the <a href="http://www.thework.com/">Byron
Katie School for the Work</a> was FANTASTIC. I would go again in a
heart beat. I know as I keep doing the work it will keep working on,
and for, me.</div>
<div class="western">
<br /></div>
<div class="western">
I am keeping the Affirmation ABC in the bottom
drawer for the next little while. My focus for the next few months
is going to be on creating an income for myself. </div>
<div class="western">
<br /></div>
<div class="western">
I am fascinated by <a href="http://lynnehoppe.blogspot.com/">Lynne
Hoppes</a> work. And, I want to keep my hand in so to speak. So I
have been playing around drawing faces, using already printed paper,
starting with my non dominant hand and using water pencils and
crayons and oil pastels. If you knew me you would know drawing
women's faces is a very unlikely thing for me to do! It was fun. I
want to still be creative but without any end goal like an exhibition
or creating a book. Just do it for the sake of doing it. I might even
splash around on a big canvas too! Watch this - now probably a bit
irregular - space!</div>

These two faces both have metallic oil pastels so
they shimmer in the right light but was unable to capture it with the
camera.</div>

I still have to stick down N and X Y Z, but I can do that on Sunday. There are still lots of things to do to get it finished properly photograph each one, fix the sides and do the reference for who took the photographs.I have made contact with most of the photographers that want payment. That will all happen after I come back from my trip to USA which starts on Tuesday. This is the trip to see my family in North Carolina and do the Byron Katie workshop. I can't do the info with the pictures so have to do it here at the top.<br />
<br />
Have told you about the aardvark and cat in earlier posts<br />
The elephant comes from http://www.wildlife-pictures-online.com/200602.html<br />
No permission for Nyala yet. The picutre comes from www.zooborns.com and the Nyala its self comes from Houston Zoo http://www.houstonzoo.org/en/photos/search.asp?albumid=135<br />
Thanks to http://www.gustafsonphotosafari.net/ for Quetzal<br />
PPF Sheri for the unicorn<br />
No allowed to show the whale<br />
Yaminon by Dave Watts<br />
Have asked for permission for the zebra<br />
Still trying to get a response from cat, squirrel and Xola people.<br />
<br />
The others are all free and when I have more time I will acknowledge each and every one of them.<br />
The colours in real life are much more dynamic. <br />

This will be my last post for sometime. I am away for three weeks and when I come back I am going to have to focus on some money creation. I hope to do some non dominant hand drawing and painting and if I do I will post some of them up. I will try and have a look now and again and comment where and when I can. I suspect I will miss <a href="http://www.paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/">PPF</a> way too much to not stay involved, but we are coming into summer and it's never as productive for me. Much love to you all.<br />

I hope the ABC will be finished next week. I will show and tell it then.<br />
<br />
On Monday night my friend Lorraine and I got together, as we do most Monday nights recently, to finish up doing Julia Cameron's Vein Of Gold ( The Artists Way on steroids!) We started in a couple of years ago and then the group disbanded and it never got finished - till now. So long preamble to the two pictures I am showing today. The exercise was to do something that has been done before and do it in a repetitious manner. So here you have flowers and hearts. I did them with my newish water soluble wax pastels. I really like them. And I LOVED doing something that wasn't FOR anything it was just done to do. I will do more. I have been so focused for so long, it was just lovely to muck around!<br />

I have a really busy weekend but will do my best to get round to all the <a href="http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/">Paint Party Friday</a> entries<br /><br />Rosie Kaplanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08202914746412376136noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034020993675555610.post-17649652824762963162011-09-16T16:33:00.001+12:002012-06-05T15:43:37.550+12:00Slow progressThere has been a lot of behind the scenes work over the last couple of weeks. Sourcing photos and trying to find the photographer and get permission to use the picture. Creating lists of where the picture comes from and who has and hasn't given permission. Sticking the pretty paper to the often three coated backing card. And cutting out the words. My friend <a href="http://www.arithmeticvillage.com/">Kim</a> (who is also a member of the 'business' accountability group I set up last year, a pre school teacher AND most importantly is the person who suggested an affirmation ABC) phoned on Tuesday to say she was concerned that because I am using a higgildy piggildy font IE home made <b>and </b>I have made the affirmation words curve around the animal, kids, especially dyslexic ones, would find them too hard to read. A sleepless night ensued. Creatively I <b>want</b> them to curve they look 100% better. But I didn't want to make it hard for kids to read. Then I figured that in my mind I am making this a book for parents to read to kids, I am basically pitching it at 3 year olds. Anyway, in the end I have kept going with my creative vision. If anyone wants to publish it and thinks the words must be straight then I figure I can make it again. It would be a lot quicker the second time around. <br />

I am still have difficulty with eager like an elephant, my two playing elephant babies look like something else to some people! I have looked at sooooo many pictures of elephants. They are not really eager animals! And a unicorn was proving to be a problem till I had a brainwave and got in touch with <a href="http://www.happyhorsestudio.com/">Sheri Cook</a> from <a href="http://www.paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/">Paint Party Friday</a> She has given me a picture of Lippizzaner she drew with pastels. He still needs his golden horn! Lets hear it for PPF networking!<br />

These are some of the others I have done. You have already seen the cat but it's sneaked in cos I changed it from clever to curious.<br />

The colour is a bit dodgy cos the curtain is closed to stop them curling up in the sunlight. I particularly like the Iguana! My goal for next week is to have it all done. That might be a bit of a push as I have started a from home selling job which is now taking up some time. If not by the end of next week then for sure the week after. Looking forward to catching up after a week away.<br />
And today is my niece's LAST CHEMO YEAH.Rosie Kaplanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08202914746412376136noreply@blogger.com41tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034020993675555610.post-52851435121654001892011-09-02T17:10:00.002+12:002012-06-05T15:42:56.800+12:00On we plodThis is the second go at writing this post. The other one kept on snarling up Firefox and I have restarted the computer a number of frustrating times.<br />

Not much art done this week. So much for being ahead last week! I have had the pages out on the floor most of the week and have been fiddling around with different colours and position of the animals etc. Also spent a lot of time looking for free pictures of animals. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am liking them more and more! Hopefully next week I will have a whole lot more letters cut out and can show you more pages like this.<br />

Oh - and yes, Aardvark needs a double A. It has it now. You might notice that I have changed the lettering a bit in that it's got movement around the animals. And I love the clever cat! Trying to get in touch with the photographer who is, I believe, called Claudia Romero and you can see more of her work <a href="http://photo.net/photodb/member-photos?user_id=2289806">here</a>. Details about Beverly Joubert (Aardvark photo) in post below<br />
<br />
N is difficult, I've given up on newt and night owl and am trying a Nyala right now. It's a <span class="st">Southern African antelope.</span> I tried to put up a picture of one up before and I think that's what mucked up the blog so here, instead, is a link <a href="http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/nyala/">to a photo of one</a> This is the most adorable site of new born zoo animals. So what goes with a Nyala? Nice, nifty, noticeable or .... any ideas very welcome. <br />
<br />
Have fun on <a href="http://www.paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/">Paint Party Friday</a> I hope to have a bit more new next week.Rosie Kaplanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08202914746412376136noreply@blogger.com30
