<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is moving to a new home! <i>yes..... i did say moving</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have contemplated this for quite some time. patiently waiting and mulling this over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you all know i am only techy enough to really be dangerous- but, this is where having a great friend comes in. (i will introduce you to my great friend today)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but you know the one i am talking about - <i>the friend with skills</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and good advice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
business sense.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a fantastic creative eye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
someone you trust.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so, today you will find a new website and at noon, a new blog post at my new home:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://alteredstatesstudio.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">alteredstatesstudio.com</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i say farewell to this comfort zone that has fostered my art journey and brought new friends and followers.... and i ask you to take a small leap of faith with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thank you. thank you. thank you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>and for all of the comments</i>. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i was thinking maybe tea bags, coffee filters, and maybe just small squares of paper...... but, over Easter our youngest son and i were shopping and i purchased a package of timecards. my son of course, thought i was crazy! why in the world would you buy those? well to make into art of course- i just didn't realize at that time what destiny those timecards would have. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so when i grabbed the package to head to the studio and start my 100 day project i noted this..... my package of timecards was 100 count.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as soon as i saw that i knew that a little serendipity had occurred, and i had my hands on the right substrate for this 100 day project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

happy april. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not sure where you are at, but here in midwest we are technically in <i>spring</i>- but if you were to visit....oh wait a minute- you probably couldn't get here due to a winter storm, which then made roads icy and difficult to navigate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as we received another 6" of snow yesterday with wind making it bitterly cold and glazing sidewalks and roads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this morning the temp is 5 degrees F; and with the windchill we feel like -7. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seven below on april fourth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where is spring?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so her irritated, slightly crabby, stern look is exactly how i feel about april right now. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she would need to put it in writing and speak her action in order to be held accountable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
especially because life was busy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and she was putting extra pressure on herself to create (which leads to nothing. and when i say nothing....that is what she is able to create when she thinks she has to create to sell and not just make for herself).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she is mildly lost at this moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so, she will speak her action and commit to doing <a href="https://www.the100dayproject.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">the100dayproject</span></a>.</div>

creativity takes courage- Henri Matisse</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have still been thinking about the class i taught recently and how truthful this statement really is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all those people had huge courage to try new things. new concepts. new colors. new techniques.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
courage to collage. to paint over. to write on.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
today i encourage you to try something new. glue something down that you wouldn't have used. spray some ink on that.... and if you can, sew on something- even some little hand sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
find your courage. show up in your space. just create.</div>

i made this art journal with "found" papers within my studio and i love the map image at the bottom of the paper and how the previous page shows as well. that is the far left edge- is actually the previous page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

when all else fails, i go to my favorite go-to colors- quin nickel azo gold and payne's grey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i am going to be honest.... the first card i made, i worked almost to death (<i>the poor thing</i>). every time i thought, "oh this looks kinda cute"- i put more paint on it, or did something else which lead to "oh- here is the ugly stage."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, it went to the ugly stage 2 or 3 times, and then, just never came out of it- leading me to make this card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
simple. favorites. with a little stitching.</div>
