FREAKIN' FINALLY

Hey sorry it's been so long-not like a million folks reading this blog, but soon,soon-I figured out how to get everything going again. I will post some new stuff this weekend and dig out some photos.

We moved to Ridgecrest, CA this fall, bought a house in January and have been uber busy ever since. I miss my girls in Hampton Roads & I hope they are all flourishing! Keep making art!

I have been busy making fat book pages for the 2 Art & Soul Retreat swaps this May.It is the first art I have managed to do since April '08! i have been stumbling thru boxes and remodeling stuff to get them done. another obstacle is NO ART SUPPLIES in Ridgecrest! I had to send away to Miami (Rex Art) to get paint and watercolor paper. Pretty far,eh? But they came out unique and beautiful! I can't wait to get the completed books!

I took some workshops from Keith Lo Bue in April down in San Diego. This fellow R-O-C-K-S!
Can't wait til next year to take a whole weeks' worth of classes for my big 5-0 b-day!
I am taking 3 workshops w/ Richard Salley at the end of the month-woohoo! All about the input,baby!

Well-gotta go get somemore housework done, pay some bills, rummage thru moving boxes!

Talk to Y'all soon-
Love, Chris
