today....

















my intention was to go adventuring without expectations. i drove for an hour and loved the changing weather. i felt the warmth of the sun and then it would rain and I took in the glorious post shower smells of earth and green and repeat, again and again.









I ended up at this antique/junk yard where there were piles and piles of things outside and in. I wandered and wandered, ended up caught in a barn during a thunderstorm where I found many collaging treasures. The owner was adorable...when I went to pay for my finds, I found this bearded man in overalls reading the paper in an old dentist chair. Apparently the property has been in is family for years and they used to raise chickens. Definitely an adventure today....

the goodheARTed*

Now that I have finished school, I am finally putting my self out the world a bit more around web design. My vision is to work with artists to create web sites that help them to sparkle and invite their users to get to know both the artist and their work more.

The image above is one of the final projects I did before graduating and it is my favorite! I am SO grateful for the artists involved and their generosity in participating. I am considering expanding the site and love the idea of continuing to work with artists I love and also to meet new artists to squeal over! Be sure to check out the site live here . So many talented lovelies!

recovering*

A week ago today I participated in a portfolio show along side amazingly talented artists and designers. For the last years I have been slowly, but fiercely been working towards a degree in web design. I have been quiet about this area of my life for reasons I have yet to understand, but I am coming around. Really.

I am so grateful for this experience and what I have learned about myself:
That I can absolutely show up and finish what I begin
That I do have worthy talents
That I have an amazing support system (some people don't even know they are supporting - flickr friends inspire me ALL of the time)
That I have choices and possibilities that I never thought of

So for now, I am recovering and playing. Looking forward to what transpires next.
