My neighbor, who works as an artist doing fine art interiors, was over earlier tonight and he had heard from his wife Kate that I was dabbling in art making and he asked me, "How’s your ephemera collection?"  It was the first time anyone has ever used that word in a sentence to me.  I giggled.  I had to admit, it was kind of cool.  Ephemera.

I bought a Crock Pot on sale Monday night for $18 and beeswax pellets yesterday and I’m about to make something with beeswax even though I have a head cold and was already in bed but the art room beckoned.

Reading a great new book by a really cool guy The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission to Be the Artist Your Truly Are by Danny Gregory. I’m actually learning to draw. This is another huge milestone.  Who knows what’s next?
