New City and I am having a ball at Willowing!

 FINALLY,  we have moved!  Though not the city we plan to be in long term, this new city is
refreshing!! Art is everywhere in the form of statues. The city has a group called The Hub which supports and encourages the Arts.
Look at my favorite statue:

And the library! It is HUGE, and very well appointed!

We are now living in an historic neighborhood called Hampton Heights

 Even our cat is happier here- he has a mega picture window to sit and watch all the goings on-
his very own window seat and cushion! lol

I have had a ball becoming involved at a site new to me- 

Willowing & Friends!

They have classes, a very friendly "forum" and a gallery. 

HERE is my Art gallery.

Now that I am getting my studio space set up,

I am looking forward to painting again, and

some more altered books... maybe some polymer clay work, hmmm :)

I also joined in a very coooool project at Altered Bits:

  The idea is to have a collaborative work

of handmade pages to create a really

tall book- hopefully two feet or taller.

I have made two pages for this project,

which actuallycomes to four pages--

Here are both sides of one:

If you are also interested in  contributing 

some pages, follow the link above to Altered Bits

A Walk through the Dark

I made this tag "book" for my younger sister.

Turns out it was good timing for her as she 

discovered her husband had lost his 

long time profitable job, and

some encouragement to not fear 

was needed. That was two years ago,

and now she has the same concern about

her job.  Life is like that, goes in cycles.

Hope you enjoy t his look into some of

my pieces from HisHeARTworks .

The envelope that holds the book- open.

When closed it is belted shut.

 

 

From Hump day to HUG DAY!! Freebie Hug

*


Wednesdays are now HUG days!! You will find a HUG from my blog to you each Wednesday!
I love doing Word art, and my brand is Word Reflections.
If YOU feel like Hugging from your blog, My Life and Scraps has something for you!


OR maybe YOU are a candidate for our Tweet Parade!


This week is about Potential! With school starting in many districts all over the US this month, I thought this was appropriate. As they go back to school, let's celebrate the potential the kids have, whether they are your own, or in your classroom.
This Word Reflection is for personal use only, not for redistribution, please.
ENJOY!
