Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

This was a hard one. It took me all day to decide who I would like to switch lives with. Johny Depp cause he seem like a nice person and it would be interesting to be in his shoes for one day. I have always thought it would be fun to be a man for a day :) Charlie Sheen would be fun too LOL!

I started watching Herbert and Dorothy last night they are a sweet couple who collect art in New York. It is so nice to see a couple as passionate about art as they are. Can't wait to get to see the rest of the movie!

Today was the first day in ages that I had a few hours off being a MUM, so I started building my very own artist DRM (Data Resource Manager) program it's very exciting. I got 80% of the contact management done, cleaning up my contact list to import took me forever! I'm on my way to being the most organised artist I know - Hip Hip Hooray :)

The Youtube clip of the day is Art at Will presents Chuck Connelly: From the Ashes...

My card for the day is Set Your Sights Higher

I won't settle - I so know what this is about :)

Art Every Day Month Day 7 - Encaustic Wax

I'm really enjoying blogging again, it's been years since I have written everyday. I used to do morning pages before I got pregnant, I have heaps of books full of my dribble. The Artist Way by Julia Cameron got me into the morning pages! Every artist should own a copy of that book!
I was talking to a friend yesterday and she wanted me to order her a box of encaustic wax. I haven't done any encasutic for such a long time, so today was the day to dust off the cobwebs and get melting.
Here are my 2 creations for the day...

Getting more into it without distractions

Don't you love the texture wax makes!
I have been looking for my cutter cause this card is too big and I just can't find it anywhere.
Here are some other pieces I have done, in the past with encaustic wax.

This one was done with the iron on card.

Finally life is back to normal

Today is the first day in nearly 2 weeks that we have back our happy little singing girl. Nothing worse than a sick child! It makes you realise, on days like today, how lucky we have it.
I got a lot done today I started painting a series of affirmations paintings for our house. It will be nice to be surrounded in positive words when we need them. Called into the recycling centre and the supermarket. Gave shit to plummer Dan when he walked in on me cleaning the shower and chatted to the builder who is fixing our bathroom floor. Caught up with Chanz, Mum and Lyn. Got my 4 artist trading cards ready to send off 2mora for the next trade. Bought a Norfolk pine for our Christmas Tree, potted it in a lovely pot and decorated. I also split up one of my plants that I have wanted to do for sometime now but had ran out of potting mix. I got a shock when I drove into the Springvale Garden Centre it's FLASH! They have a kids play area, I have never been to a garden centre with a playground in …
