A couple of heads out of paper clay drying in front of the fan. Nope, I have no idea who they are. I don’t seem to be able to do that. I just follow… and they lead. Whoever appears… I like. It works that way for me with clay, carving wood, painting. If I want them sweet, they always look mean. 
The one on the left only has a half head. Going to let it dry to a leather stage, then add more paper clay. I kept moving the nose around accidentally. Not a good idea. I love to do these faces. So fun to see who they are. I like this size… seems easy to sculpt.
Go shopping on my website. It doesn’t hurt to look around… Hope you’re having a really nice weekend… I’m gonna take a nap… how about you?

The Hornberger family is in need of a front yard fence. Herbert, the big 5lb. Chihuahua, has stepped up his guard duty. Not sure why, maybe cause he’s learned to hike his leg higher… had to, the grass needed to be mowed….
So now he’s decided he can take down that big truck with a cattle trailer that goes by our house on a regular basis. Richard almost had a stroke… Came straight in the house and told on Herbert. Herbert had his little chest all stuck out. The little fool.
I was all set to build flower beds… I got dirt. Really nice loamy dirt. So excited about my dirt. I’ve always had flowers, herbs, etc. This house was/is in need of so much love/$ flower beds/dirt wasn’t on the list.. or not very high on the list. But if you whine loud, long, and often… things will happen. I got dirt for my birthday! Two big piles/14 yds.
Now that super dawg thinks he’s The Mexican Godzilla… I gotta have a fence first. The little jerk. And to think I cook for him. Yes, I’m a fool. He’s so skinny, plays with dry dog food, so I cook chicken and rice. He has not gained an ounce. NaDa… It’s just not working.
Back to the fence…. guess that’s the next thing on the list. It’s gotta be cute… the house is so ugly… the fence has to be cute. OK, maybe it’s not REAL ugly…. I just love old houses. Truly love them. Richard tolerates them. They have a soul. They talk to you in the middle of the night. They move an inch this way or that way.. and give you a surprise. Like our bathroom door. It has shut for 4 years…. it no longer does that. Surprise! (snort, giggle) Who cares…. The house will shift, the door will close. TaDah!
And yes, old houses have ghosts. Real ones. No, not really spooky. Not when you realize they’re not going to hurt you. Sometimes you see ‘em… sometimes you don’t. I prefer the ones that I don’t see. It’s just a preference… :) Smart dogs or cats can tell you when they’re around. Herbert does a low growl, stands real stiff, doesn’t take his eyes off of the spot. Shirley gets spooked. She gets in a crouching position… then under the nearest furniture. Nope, I don’t watch the ghost shows on TV. In front of a camera, people will do almost anything.
Time for me to get in the studio. Ya’ll have a great day! It’s Monday… let’s get this show on the road…

This was a lazy Sunday. No art, just played on Facebook…. I did learn some things about a new paint I want to try. Facebook is so good for that. I try to friend as many artists as possible. Post a question, and someone will give you what they know about it. What generous people.
A big fat nap was required today. Herbert needed it badly… so I had to go along with the idea. That dog works hard harassing Shirley the cat. He needs his rest. Now we have a stray kitten. So far it’s not requiring petting, but I’m working on him. At least he’ll eat cat food.
R made crunchy tacos for supper. Oh, soooo gooood! You know how you get hungry for a certain taste? I’m fat and happy! He got the seasoning perfect. I’m not crazy about Taco seasoning… so we do it from scratch. Taco Snobs! eek!
OK, I’m done.. roll me over. Hope you had a positive weekend… everything you wanted it to be. Now make this week something you’ll be proud of. Share your good mood. Share a giggle… they’re contagious. Decide to be happy. It’s your choice!
When you’re just so terribly bored….
and thanks for reading my craziness…
It’s required in Texas to put entirely too many words in every sentence… did you know that? Well, it’s the God’s Honest Truth. And you’re required to tell big fat lies every chance you get. Yes, we have weird laws… but we’re happy!

OK, I confess… I haven’t been in the paint in days. Yes, it is sad. If fact, you might want to read really fast, cause I think I’m gonna whine. My whiner is tuned up today. No, don’t need the violin for a pity party. You wouldn’t be able to hear it…. I whine really loud.
It’s my ears’ fault… yep, it’s not me, it’s the ear. The right one, you might know. It has taken on a life of it’s own. I on the other hand, have tried and tried to be responsible, do the right thing. To no avail… (that word works there, doesn’t it?)
Called the Dr. got meds, took every last pill. I did not miss a pill. See what I’m getting at? I did my part. Well, it seems the ear didn’t like that at all. I’m guessing that’s it, because the meds didn’t do a thing for the EAR ACHE. It should have worked. But no… the ear is not having any of that.
So now that ear, the one on the right side of my head, has decided I need just a touch of vertigo. Oh, yes… that lovely stuff. Don’t bend over, you’ll do a flip. Watch that wall, it’ll move on you. Just a tad sea sick? Things out of sorts? Stomach just waiting for that moment you’ve been dreading? See what I mean? It’s the ear! I would do none of that stuff to myself. Never!
No, I can’t. Cutting it off won’t do a thing for the vertigo. I don’t care if that crazy artist did it. I am perfectly sane, I tell you! If I did that, the ear would win. Never! Did I mention this stuff makes you sleepy? Soooo sleepy… The more you move around, the worse the ear makes it.
Didn’t I warn you that I was whiney? But it’s not my fault…. it’s the ear…. the one on the right side…

Not entirely sure what I’ve been doing this past week. Didn’t accomplish much, that’s for sure. Summer colds are the worst. Seems like they just keep on giving.
So today is a new day. Got my paint clothes on, Herbert’s up, Shirley is feeding her face, as usual. I have a painting waiting to be finished. That’s going to happen today. Then another one waiting to be started. It’s going to be a cat & rooster kinda day. Or something like that.
If UPS doesn’t bring my supplies today, I’m gonna be very disappointed. I haven’t shipped thru them in awhile. This time they had several selections… very slow, kinda slow, almost fast, and really fast. I think I picked almost fast. Must of underlined the almost. Oh, their service is fine, the people that deliver are the nicest around. I just want my art supplies NOW! Right now.
Now I’m happy. The guy just delivered my dirt! Looks like really good dirt. I let Ethel out so she can check it for bugs. Now I can have flower beds, and some more flower beds. And level out the front yard. I’ve only tripped twice stepping in those holes to China.
Ok, now to get in the studio. Make your day creative, whatever you have to do. And smile at somebody… it could make their day. hugs, PJ

I love Buster, Bonita, & Blue. I’ll have to tell you the story on Buster and Bonita some time. It’s true, and it’s sooo funny.
The 3 cats are fun… they stay in trouble but are the best of friends. Can’t seperate them.
Crows & Moons… I can’t get enough of them. 3rd time I’ve used this idea, and it always comes out different. I really like this one. Smilin’ moon, now that’s the best.
All of these and more are on my new website. Click my name and it’ll magically take you there… or something like that.
