Creating is such hard work

Ahem,  Snicky D really has a hard life.   Here is proof that I am involved in slave labor.

Good help is so hard to find these days.  Sleeping on the job is a real problem around
here.

I guess I will have to forgive him.  He did bring me a paw full of flowers.

On the other hand trying to get Samantha to like him is not so easy.

This is as close as they're going to get.

Hopefully soon, they will learn to like eachother.

See you later, gotta get back to the studio to make sure

Snicky D isn't working too hard.

Yard Sale Nonsense And ramblings

So Saturday I hit a few yardsales and found this.

NO not that!

This.

It's a making memories scrapbook bag.  My husband got it for me for a steal.
So cool!
Back to the Cat, look how she's sitting.  It totaly cracks me up!

I got this old college typewriting book from 1941.  It was in the free box at the library.
It will be cool to use in projects.  Anyone remember those college typewriting courses?

I also got a bag of pens.  These are truly cool pens.  Fine point,  silver, gold, black.  I love them.
They would have cost a bundle in an art store.
I got a huge heavy duty canvas that was gessoed black.  I gessoed over it in white.

Something good is going to go on this.  Just don't know what it will be yet.
Hope you all are having a good Fall.  It's still hot where i'm at but cooling down.
Have a great day.

My Studio Assistant & Some New Work

Samantha came out to the studio with me today.  She's a great assistant.  She sits there
and looks beautiful all day long.  It's really nice to have a soft furry companion to keep
you on track.  I finished a hand full of paintings under her supervision.   LOL!

Faith, apply before flying.  See instructions.   Here's a close up

During these tough times it's so important to have faith.  It's also very hard sometimes to
just totaly trust in God.  I always want to pick up my troubles and worry over them.  Time and time
again, I always find out how faithful our father is.
Here is another mixed media painting.  This one is for my sister.

It's a work in progress.  You can click on any of my pictures to see more detail.

Another work in progress.  I'm not too happy with this one.

I just have to finish the wire work on this Paris one.

I'm really happy with how this last one came out.  It's so rustic.   These are all going to

be put in a shop for sale.  I just have to be able to part with them.

I seem to have a problem letting go of artwork.

Oh, I know you want to know if I got that job.  They had to discontinue the hiring process.   AGAIN!

This is the second time this has happened.  So, I didn't get it but I didn't not get it.  Does that make sence?  They probaly had some kind of hiring freeze.  I'm not giving up hope.

Keep me in your good thoughts.  It's not over yet.

Hugs to you all.

Hello From Samantha Kitty

Hello everyone.  My name is Samantha and I just wanted to pop on and say HI.  I'm Diana's other kitty.
Mom has been really sad sence Shadow went to heaven.  I have really been trying to keep her company and
fill her days with soft paw touches and gentle purrs.

I know she misses her blog friends and will be back soon.  She seems to be getting better every day.

Look at this picture that she painted.  I think it helps her to see it everyday.   I just wanted to ask everyone
that reads her blog to not forget about her.  I hope you all have a great evening. 
Go hug your pets.  We need it.

Love Samantha
