one little word- design team

back in july there was a open call for the one little word design team and i decided to throw my hat in the ring....i had made my "crazy?! girl for submission.

this last week i found out i had made the team!! i was so excited i did a little mom dance in the living room, and each time i thought about it for the rest of that evening...i did a quick little "happy" clapping burst; smiling from ear to ear.

their word for august is want- which had lead me to doing my last post. i was supposed to hold this information though until after monday.....but, now, i can yell it from the front porch if i wanted to.... 

want to play along? leave me a comment so i can come and see what you made!

playful want

i have been cleaning my studio and finally could not take it any more....i needed to just play a bit. i took one of my gelli plate prints to start and added additional layers with stencils,stamps, paint and ink.

i have been thinking about wants lately...and what i want; what you want, what people want.

i of course came up with several very generic, typical wants. but, what did i really want? and then, i saw a little statement on my counter top....and i thought- i need to check my magical book and see what i actually want....and so...besides the colors, and....

 besides the sewing and stamping.....

 what i want is this...

 power to understand, bigness of soul, illuminating insight, and infinite tenderness......
