art of the day * jan 24 2012

looooooooooove the colors in this scene. bookmark for tie dye /painting later.

I don't think I've had so many pictures in a  while.



Photographer credit goes to the now 9 year old Azalea- my favorite photographer ever. she's the best. At one point- she wanted to be one when she grew up, these days it's kindergarten teacher.

Today i took a rare plunge and decided to batik today- I don't prefer to do it on school nights, when the time is limited- batik is all about time for me~ so with the intention of putting Ernest Borgnine on a piece of material in wax resist- I headed to the crock pot, plugged it in and after the wax had been melted- realized i didn't have a proper light table to put poor Ernest on my cotton. so i stuck Ernie up on my shelf for the time being. He'll get there some day. (along with Janis). Today is your birthday, Ernie... but you won't be forgotten.

Free forming as the dragon came about yesterday- I decided - the wax was already melted- let's go free form on another piece of cotton. I was still feeling the flow of the dragon, so it's reprise.
I did a rough pencil sketch- and then went to town with tjanting and wax-
I painted some in this evening- need to hang it up and dry before painting the next parts.

i need a light table so ernest can be everywhere. lol.

And tonight's sunset was fabulous. All this talk of the Aurora Borealis, The "Aurora Oval", solar flares- I was born in the year of the Red Fire Dragon- it's dragon town ovah here. In the words of Bill and Ted, cosmically speaking - "Something is afoot at the Circle K"....the circle K being this earth. somehow. I would think it be more of a Wawa ...owned by the Moonies and no selling of lottery tickets...like there's no horoscopes in a USA Today either. Moonie owned. I'm not Moonies owned so I'll be painting whatever I damn like to.

and happy birthday Neil Diamond too.

10 years ago today I found out I was pregnant with Azalea..... <3 

---till tomorrow....
