I chickened out a little and got another full time job instead of selling my art and my classes. As I was being pressured (forced?) to sell debt to credit card customers over the phone, I decided I would rather use the guts I have to sell something that I believe in..heart and soul, baby. The day I quit and stayed home for the first time in 15 eight hour shifts in a row..I panicked a little..but got on my etsy site and added some stuff and decided to put the new things up on my facebook. Might as well use facebook for good instead of to get me fired! Low and behold..a long time artsy friend saw this and went to my etsy shop and made a purchase that has given me momentum that I have not experienced for a while. Thank you, Cheryl..love love love you!!
Here's the funny part..I almost didn't notice that I forgot the "e" in Breathe. Good thing I had the day off today to correct it and make a new piece to send off with the rest of the art goodies.
I think I am the one who needs to BREATHE.

Experiments in facepainting




Two aha moments here...
1.When doing ART with kids..listen to them and let go of control.
I could see my granddaughter's friends were antsy to get their hands on my face painting supplies..so I relinquished and watched the magic begin. I've painted plenty of faces..no ego involved here (hahaha)
2. My son is an awesome GIRL DAD. Just like I knew he would be. Who else would let their kid and her friends have at it on his beautiful face? Tony teaches at the kid's school..I can only imagine what the kids will be saying at recess today.
p.s. yes..I know it's sideways...I know how to do a lot of things..but fixing a video on my phone isn't one of them
