new journal new challenge
and this is a BIG challenge for me! i'm actually compiling a 64-page journal that i can't keep! -lol it's for a university art assignment. i do the artwork, the students' journal the meaning behind the page-onto the page. very cool concept, and i'm excited to do it. they provided me with 64 words- some are very challenging. this is one page (partial visuals). the word on this one is stretched 
this pic is of me a year ago- funny when i see how short my hair was! pretty cute poney-tail tho huh?
laffing right now 
halloween party over the weekend was a lot of work and fun! last minute- decorated friday night and saturday, -for party saturday night. my house-more deck and kitchen space to hang out in. PERFECT night, weather wise! amazing, actually. cobwebs everywhere! my front yard was transformed into a graveyard. it was fun. 
so my 'make up' was to be madusa lisa. not easily seen here, but i wore a black shirt and shawl like mona lisa, but had snakes (glued to bobby pins) stuck all over my hair! -crazy eye make up. would have made sense to pose for a pic like the mona lisa, huh-? didn't. nice job steph. here's another fun pic. fricking charlie's angels or what-? i cracked up when i saw this one-! two of my good friends and me. we had a lot of fun. the most 'original' costume went to my son! Bobby came back home -straight from the woods (hunting), camo-ed out, and joined the party! i think his main reason for being at the party was to act as my chaperone! he stayed the night this weekend to be closer to his hunting spot, so i guess it all worked out good. my boys are so protective of me their friends' even give them a hard time about giving me a break! i'm flattered and proud of that though. overall, my friends came up with some amazing costumes ...from pirates, to zoro's girlfriend (with a bloody Z across her face; was pretty cool considering i'm not good on the reality of gore), to the grim reaper and his dead 'very cool' bride! and more!
crazy,stressful week, not to mention that it's only tuesday! this weekend i plan to lock myself in the house and do a lot of journal work -hopefully! i'm really feeling the need to WORK some things out through my art, not to mention i have deadlines! but craving a little soul work-kwim-? 
have a happy week!! 
the 'angels'!>
most original costume! my son, the hunter>

Oh, my goodness. I am working on a project for the same purpose. I am enjoying the process and I hope the students enjoy it as well.
Your work is wonderful, by the way.
