What did artists do without google images? :) Time period clothing, models, wallpaper designs… the possibilities are enormous! While searching today, I stumbled on this piece. Ironically, I’m working up a commisioned piece in the style of Comfort. This piece has the same vibe I think. It is an illustration for a book by fashion designer Paul Poiret. Tell me what you think…

At last… this project has been less than prompt. :) Introducing the latest two Frameable Valentine’s! $25.
“Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.”
~Arthur Rubinstein
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

“To mush, or not to mush, what a stupid question.”– a t-shirt depicting dog-sledding that my dad brought my mom back from Alaska.
Sadly, the scans are rather weak. There is the outline of an igloo in the background…

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” –Shakespeare
I could have married an ugly man. I think most women could. I think women have a primary point of attraction apart from the outside. That doesn’t make us more mature, or more sincere… women fall for smooth talk…women fall for confidence…
For some reason, God decided that I shouldn’t marry an ugly man, and gave me a beautiful one. Thanks, God. I do appreciate it.
What is it that attracts Dragons to each other?

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” –Dr. Suess
….Second installment on this snowy Sunday. Love 7. Going out for ice cream is a great date. So is coffee. One of my favorite date-esque things to do with Sawaya is walk the few blocks to Starbucks and get coffee. Conversation is always enhanced by walking outdoors.

“I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.”–John Keats
I watched Bright Star last nite. The problem with true stories is that one can’t fiddle with the cold, hard facts. That said, watch it. You will never hear the name Keats and conjur up some old man in a white beard.
I have fallen very much behind in this project, but today i have FOUR. Count it, FOUR excerpts of Love to publish. I begin with Love 6, and will continue publishing throughout the day. Emma part 2 plays on PBS tonite.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire: In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep- burning and unquenchable.” – Bruce Lee (1940-1973) Chinese-American Actor, Director, Martial Artist
Here…is love 3.

no, don’t mail ME art! well, you can if you want to :) On my friend Ethan–whose blog is linked (look left) I found a very quirky and fun contest…that was free! There’s still time to enter if anyone is interested. Deadline is Jan 31st. http://mailmeart.com/going-postal/
Anyway, the idea is to mail this guy in England a piece of art…unpackaged art. In fact, some people do the art on envelopes and boxes. By the time the art reaches the UK, it is stamped and stickered, maybe even rumpled. Some people leave the artwork unstamped, others incorporate the stamp into the piece. Anyway, it’s a fantastic little project, and a book has already been published. Here’s the piece I submitted…it’s weird. I don’t do a lot of weird art–I’m not into it. But weird seemed to be the going thing for this, so I jumped in…

“The course of true love never did run smooth.” –Shakespeare
I remember making red heart construction paper valentines for my Grandma. Little did I know back then, that making hand-made things would be the work of my lifetime. It’s intensely satisfying.
My husband isn’t the type that wakes me up in the morning holding a bunch of roses with a card tucked under my pillow. Oh he outdoes himself at times–my engagement, for one. And he’s actually written me a poem. But last year, for valentines, we drove to Target, and he let me pick out earrings. He knows how to please his woman.
Here’s today’s entry. Entitled, “Be Mine.” Make it yours for $25…… I shoud be in advertising. :)
