where are my walking sticks at?
i know patience isn’t my strong suit
but i have heard from two only
the six others are off on their adventures without checking in at home
i just wanted to let them know i was thinking about them
hoping they are having fun

p.s. a walking stick, the fun stick, journeyed to Toronto! woot woot! a post about that as soon.
lovely light the other night
i cannot get enough of this shed
i am thinking of printing the snaps and finding its owner
i bet they have no idea their shed is famous!

p.s. and this happens to be my two -hundredth post. imagine that!
without much notice
a piece is resolved
without ANY notice, iPhoto made the photo pink
how could i complain?!
if this piece explores my personal journey, then unexpected is apt
pieces of me – oil and collage 2.5′ x 4′ (not really pink all over)
every bit of paper in this work has particular meaning for me
the devil is in the details (come visit to see for yourself!)
and, if “rainbow sunshine magic” was the jumping off point
this feels like the next chapter in the evolution of my story
a few meditative steps down the path
…and we get our dining room table back!

p.s. though i am fond of pink, i will sort out my snaps and post a proper picture in my gallery shortly
who’s there?
me.
me who?
no, seriously, it’s just me. I am telling a knock knock joke.

An artist is someone who produces things that people don’t need to have but that he—for some reason—thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
—Andy Warhol
recently i was inspired by a modern bride and traditional red dresses
the bride, beautiful inside and out was exceptionally beautiful in her traditional red wedding dress
another traditional red garment was, by chance, given to me by a different beautiful soul for art making purposes
the iconic red dress from the vogue cover
my scissors still hot from snipping my september issue i cut that dress apart
and the vogue
to make for my friend and her new husband a wedding gift
(don’t worry. there was a real gift as well. and it is small enough to fit in a closet)
it is in the post with much love and many heARTs

Lainie Towell , co-curator of Nuit Blanche Ottawa at the opening ceremony – photo Ottawa Citizen
” OTTAWA — Lainie Towell held a 1.5-metre wooden staff decorated with gold paint and peacock feathers as she welcomed the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd gathered at Hintonburg’s Orange Gallery for the launch of Ottawa’s inaugural Nuit Blanche.
The co-curator of the festival passed the piece of “live art” to a couple in the crowd in what was expected to be the first exchange of many during the all-night art extravanganza…”
the seven other sticks are also off on noble paths
i saw evidence last night of the sticks having great fun
what a joy to see them go
i will miss them
i do hope the snaps roll in…

Nuit Blanche Ottawa has arrived
only hours now until the walking sticks begin their journey
all pulled from hawk lake (above)
some striped naked. some not
with my tree fetish, it was important to highlight the wood
where will they go?
where they need to i suppose
join here my flickr group to watch the story unfold
(or join Flickr and search under “groups” for “walk with me #nbo12”)
ultimately, the collage of photos is the work
(if it works! fingers crossed)
…and you simply must come down to the party at Social this evening 6:22pm – 4:23am
come share in the creative energy of Robert Brazeau’s collaborative twenties era photo shoot
our bit of fun for the first ever Nuit Blanche Ottawa!
my sticks will depart from here
away we go
“walk with me”
