About Me

I'm a mixed media painter because I hate to throw out a newspaper everyday. I started grabbing big sections to stick onto paintings so it wouldn't get thrown away. And thus my new style was born.

So when I paint I usually do mixed media. For me that's a combination of the aforementioned newspaper, acrylic paint, and ink. Apply liberally to canvas and stir. ( : So to speak.
When I write (which I haven't been doing too much of lately) it's usually genre fiction. Preferably paranormal romance flavored. What can I say? It's fun to write.
My latest endeavors include resin jewelry making and (drum roll please) a new store on Etsy. So check me out at www.mixeduppainter.etsy.com sometime. You can see all the random stuff I like to make. That's fun, right?
And look here's my shop now. I hope.

You're Catch-22!
by Joseph Heller
Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of people.
Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid .

That's my kind of quiz. I've never actually read Catch 22 unfortunately. I think this will be my year to do that too.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet other writers and painters. If there happen to be any fiber artists out there I'm always looking to meet a few more. I'm not against meeting non-art people. Other people are good too. Don't want to leave anybody out.

My Blog

Where have I been?

So where HAVE I been? I have of course been all the same places that I was before. That was a delightfully imprecise answer, wasn't it? But really, I've been here. As per usual. And actually somewhat ...

Me = Bad Timing

Soooo yeah. I've been sewing like the wind the last few weeks. Well not last week. But week one and week three have included wind-like sewing. And yesterday I was wandering around Etsy and found out t...

Sewing is almost as good as sleeping

I still haven't been painting. Or drawing. I did give it a go the other day though. I just can't seem to get the stamina (and dexterity) together for it though. I've actually been falling asleep early...

Catching up

As I said last time, critique day was on Sunday. It went pretty well overall. I was scolded for using my dip pen for cross hatching. But I don't like Microns (they be ink pens). I'm sorry but I d...

Rollerskating penguins

Today is critique day. And do I have anything? Well, yes and no. I have some work it's just not here. So that is a conundrum. I didn't get a chance to redo the failed painting yet so obviously that's ...

I remain amused as ever

I was horrifically, insanely irritated the other day. And why you ask? Because I totally botched a painting/illustration that I had been working on. Luckily I had only expended about two hours on the ...

Mini update time

Yes, I've been lax again. No blogging for me. I've been pretty low key ever since my show was up and then over. Decompressing if you will. So I now resurface, at least temporarily. I have no big stori...

Thanks. No, really

Okay, here's the problem with thank you notes: how many ways are there to say thank you? I mean, really. How many ways can you really think of to say "thank you". You can't just write thank you on a t...

People are not made out of butter

Okay, I've been dying to use that for a blog title for the last three days. Cracks me up. Seriously. Granted it's got nothing to do with anything but it still cracks me up. Anyway, I'm calling this an...

Posers and Crocodiles

I almost forgot in my extreme haste (or lack thereof) this week to mention that my latest appearance on Expose Kenosha was this week. How silly of me. I am a little scatterbrained lately of course. Th...
