Just hanging around, trying to be good, taking all that medication, wishing all the dust in the world would go away. Asthma is not fun. I’ve decided I don’t want it anymore. Nada. I’m canceling my subscription. Roll me over, I am done.
So today I finally got to watch a video I had downloaded. A class on painting with thread/free motion quilting. Can’t remember the womans name right this minute. But she’s really good at what she does. And I was able to watch the entire thing without getting crazy. (I get bored fast) Now I can’t wait to try some of it.
But that’ll have to wait until I get a couple of commissions finished. I’m way behind on those…. and it’s driving me crazy. I’m hoping by next week I’ll be back in the studio, working like crazy to make up sitting and watching reruns on Law & Order.
Today I did update my Etsy store. pjsfolkart.etsy.com I’ve wanted to get some hearts on there. Hearts seem to be my favorite lately. I’d like to do a whole wall of them. Wouldn’t that be cool? From heart shrines to paintings, to fabric, to clay, to…. whatever else pops up.
Ya’ll have a great weekend. I’m going to have a lazy one. Try my best not to talk too much.
Well, that I may have to cross my fingers on. xx

This photo isn’t exactly straight, but I promise the black canvas is. Looks like I got a little hyper on this one. I love all that color in the threads, beads, and the paint. Finally had to make myself quit, and pronounce it ‘done’.
It’s cold in Texas right now, so that means it’s too cold in my studio to do much. So with this I can pile up in the bed with Herbert (my Chihuahua), do embroidery, bead, and watch Law & Order all day. Only bad thing is when I drop beads in the bed. Those things are painful when you’re trying to take a nap. Doesn’t bother Herbert. Nothing bothers Herbert. He’s Mr. Cool.
This one and the other two will be on the Gallery – Online page shortly.

These are definitely folk art. All the color, craziness. I do love hearts…. and chickens. OK, I admit it. I love whatever I’m working on. These are fun to do. I’ll be putting a couple a day on my Etsy Store for the next several days. I’ve been neglecting that spot. And they’ll be on the Folk Art Gallery Online page here. Got to get it in gear!

Did these today! The 3 larger ones are on board, smaller 3 are stretched canvas. No, really it is. I think I may put those on a board, since they’re too small for a hanger. Got to get more of those tiny canvases. They are fun to paint. I’ve been on a heart thing lately. They just make me feel good.
All of these were painted with heavy matte acrylic by Golden. Then I used a Faber-Castille pen, and Prisma colored pencils. Then a spray sealer. I get the matte heavy acrylic from www.dickblick.com. I don’t like shiny paint when I working. All I see is glare. Everyone works different. You just keep experimenting until you find what works for you. If it works… it’s not wrong. That’s how to develop a style, a look. Knowing what works for you.
OK, time to scrub this paint off. Can’t wait to start a new painting tomorrow. Oh, I forgot. When I get these finished, ready to hang, they’ll be on my Etsy store. xoxoxo

Hearts show up a lot in folk art. They just go together. I like the destressed frame on this. I used heavy matte Golden acrylics, Prisma colored pencils, and Crown Hi-Jell pens.
(jerrysartarama.com) Then Liquitex matte varnish. It will be on the Folk Art Gallery – Online page later. Another place to get great pens (jetpen.com)
