A new Creative Sprint CLASS! Days 1 and 2

Introduce yourself!

 Day 1 - Introduce yourself. I rubber stamped my name on a postcard multiple times. Simple. But I didn't see where to put text on this first one. Oh well. Learning curve.

Day 2 - make something to hold in the palm of your hand. In the past, I'd make a tiny folded book. This time I made a tiny mask, since I'm making masks for family members. It's for this new doll, which I got for our grandgirl. She can't come over and get it, so I'm "playing" with it. We did a zoom meeting as I opened the package and dressed the doll as she wanted me to. Fun.  And I figured out how to add text! It's a new platform for me.

How people make these tiny doll clothes is amazing. My fingers are too big!!

Thank YOU, Gracias, Danke, Grazie, Mercie Arigato

To all of the people who are on the front lines during this time of the plague. To the medical personnel, and to the people who clean up at the medical facilities, to the food service people, the grocery store clerks and stocking people, to the bus drivers, and the delivery people, the farm workers, to those choosing to do the hard work, the scary work, and those not being able to make a choice about it, for whatever reason, THANK YOU.

And to those stepping up to figure out how to make face shields, volunteers who sew cloth masks, volunteers who use their laser cutters, and 3D printers to figure out how to make protective gear. To the Researchers who are working tirelessly to come up with a vaccine. To the people who volunteered to have antibodies tested on them. To so many more, THANK YOU.

(thanks for ChristopherArndtPostcards.com for this cool postcard)

Important information

And I've started to write poetry. I've got 9 poems written so far, in 10 days indoors.  You can read them on my instagram @mimgolub if you'd like or on Facebook where a couple of them are in Spanish, translated by friends of ours because I wanted to have a collaborative experience with them.  Our kids business is going all on-line.    See what they're doing by clicking on the link. Be safe, wash your hands, don't touch your face (teacher voice)

The Girl

In front of a scene.

 I can't remember what artist painted this girl, or the era it was painted in, I can't give credit, which bothers me, but I like her a lot and had fun trying her out with different backgrounds.

I'm still having trouble, after all this time, with my ChromeBook and still regretting my decision to be frugal, and NOT get the Apple laptop. Oh well. The struggle to get images up continues.

A travel scene.

In Mexico!

Some color.

Brighter color is nice.

This deep color is nice, too.

What do you think? Should I keep going with this girl?

The possibilities are endless, to state the obvious.

Let me know what you think?

Autumn has come, finally.

On Monica's street

Sweater and scarf weather finally arrived. It happens so quickly here. It seems that it's summer, oh so hot, then the next day, swoosh, leaves are falling and the scarves come out. It feels great.

Altered vintage cards and a MURAL!

Ah to swim or not.

Look, over here! 

Noah's mural for the Festival. Very exciting for him and for us.

Landscape Beautification Project - new series 2019

#29

#30

 The Landscape Beautification Project places large art works into the landscape to offer the public an unusual viewing experience.

Sometimes, it's quite disconcerting, such as the Dam project.

#31

#32

At times, the installation presents a monumental headache but so far there have been no fatalities amongst the installers or the viewers.









This project will continue as long as the appropriate images can be secured for specific locations.

Ah, yes, it's definitely been site specific.

If you have any suggestions as to artists or locations, feel free to contact the LBP.
