In the spring, around February/March we have Barred Owls that nest somewhere in or backyard. I was doing really badly at the time (pre-surgery) and seeing these little guys really cheered me up. They leave the nest before they can fly and I was able to capture one sitting on a branch just a few feet above my head.</div>

Hello friends! I want to share some lovely pictures with you today! I have been away having surgery on my spine to fix the discs in my neck; it has been quite a journey for me. I had surgery in May and I am still not right but I am improving. In spite of all this I still managed to get out into the garden and throw a few seeds down and keep things watered, but the weeding and tending not so much! Things have just gone as they wish. Hope you enjoy the pics!</div>

Zinnias and sunflowers have been my favorite summer flowers here in Georgia since I started my garden. They grow so well from seed and attract so many birds, butterflies and other insects. I would definitely recommend them for anyone in the south looking to feed the birds without investing in seed and feeders that just get destroyed by the squirrels anyway!</div>

These little Goldfinches love the sunflowers; they are so light the stems barely bend under their weight. Unfortunately they are very jumpy- I had to hide behind a trash can for quite a while to get this pic! </div>

This is a little princess doll I made for my neighbor to thank her for bringing me meals during my recovery. I copied the basic design from a tutorial in Prims Magazine by Candace Wirth and tweaked it a little to make it unique. I love making gifts for people much more than keeping them for myself.</div>

Well, we're in the middle of an ice storm here in Georgia- to those up north that means it is a little cold and there is about an inch of snow on the ground- pretty serious stuff! Of course, I'm worried about my plants, I just put out seeds! Because we had snow a few weeks ago (for one day), I didn't really think it would snow again. The ice is hanging so heavy on the trees and bushes that limbs are breaking and I lost my 6 foot tall big leaf magnolia that was growing in the woods. On the bright side, I decided to put out bird feed yesterday and the birds are loving it, its been fun watching them. And...I made a wonderful discovery! Did you know you can buy mini freeze dried marshmallows all by themselves?! I had no idea! Now you can add as many as you want to your hot chocolate, no skimping!</div>

Mosaiculture is a cool new gardening trend in which artists and horticulturists create beautiful sculptures using a variety of plants. First, a frame is built from chicken wire or netting and filled with soil. Next, plants are arranged on the frame according to their color and texture, creating abstract or lifelike designs. The following images are just a few examples from the mosaiculture display featured at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens this past year. Many of them are quite large but don't let that deter you from experimenting with your own designs. After all, Chia Pets are a very simple form of mosaiculture, and one could get quite creative with mosses, catnip or wheat grass, and miniature cacti. I am thinking of trying my hand at mosaiculture this spring by creating an oversized mushroom or toadstool. It will be a few months before it gets warm enough out, but winter is a time for planning, so I can dream ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if you have tried mosaiculture at home and how it has worked for you; I'd love to hear it!</div>

Wow, its been a really long time since I've updated this blog! I've been having some pretty bad cervical spine issues these past few months that have been causing really intense physical (and emotional!) pain. I almost stopped doing everything I enjoy doing, and for a while I was reduced to a sniveling lump. I even thought I was going crazy for a minute. My GP tried all kinds of pills and steroids (which helped me to blow up like a cow) before I finally went for an MRI and was told I needed surgery for bulging discs. Well, I'm not buying it! I am going to try to do everything I can to heal myself; and yes this is possible since I (luckily) don't have any nerve damage yet. Knowing the problem has helped me to start taking it more seriously instead of just trying to push through the pain like I was doing before. I have good days and bad days but this is not a pity party!!! With the world coming back to life outside my door I decided to get out my camera and capture some of the beautiful spring ephemerals blooming right now; blink and they'll be gone! So, without further adieu, toothwort, hepatica, trillium, blood root, and elusive morel mushrooms, show thy selves!!!</div>

The image above is toothwort, sometimes called birdsfoot, the roots taste somewhat like licorice and they will numb your gums, an old remedy for tooth-ache!</div>

If you are in to mushroom hunting there are many guides around Georgia who can take you on a hunt and help you identify these beauties correctly. While morels are prized and quite valuable (up to $40lb) there are many false morels that can make you very sick. Also, please don't pick Trillium flowers!!! These flowers have a complex seeding process (it's done by ants) and picking one will not only destroy the root system, it will prevent the flower from reproducing. You can NOT seed trillium's by yourself, so take pictures instead! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Spring Everyone!!!</div>

Trillium</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The early evening star</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The muse of three ivory words </span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 20px; min-height: 570px; text-align: center;">
<div class="KonaBody">
Tied to one gravity of reason—<br />
Tied to the gold pollen<br />
Of birth and rebirth and rebirth.<br />
<br />
The trillium and all her creamy luck<br />
Equal in truth—unbiased, measured, even<br />
And blooming silver on all three faces<br />
Of muse. Serving sincerity<br />
On all three plates of heaven.<br />
The trio of power, wisdom, clarity<br />
Paralleling the blonde expressions<br />
Of stars—and the outstretched<br />
Limbs of stars—<br />
Blooming and bedding against<br />
A warm cliff—Soft on a poetic landscape; <br />
Unfolding <br />
On a precipice, leaning clear over its demise:
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
When I was a little kid I used to love going to spend the
weekend with my granddaddy. We would go to the movies or the<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>dollar store or to pick peaches; but
the thing I remember doing most was going visiting. Usually we would visit
lovely old ladies who would put me down for naps under crocheted blankets in sun rooms filled with spider plants and philodendrons. Or we would go see scrappy
old men with howling bloodhounds tied to trees who would feed me Brunswick stew
with saltines and ‘get’ my nose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
lady we would visit was a widow who lived a few doors down in a white painted
brick house with magnolias in the yard so huge, nothing else could grow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She didn’t put me down for naps- we would
have sweet tea- and her walls were covered with paint by number landscapes,
covered floor to ceiling. I didn’t think much about it then- if those were
places she wanted to go, or why she painted so much- but I thought about her
the other day and was inspired to do a paint by number for myself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I love being
creative; and like most people I know, I want to be unique. But painting by
numbers is a new way I’ve found to spend time that is surprisingly relaxing. I
sat down to work on this 9x12 wolf and before I knew it three hours had
passed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt good. I’m sure many
people would say that painting by numbers isn’t really art, but I respectfully
disagree. If you remember the film <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mona
Lisa Smile</i>, you may remember the scene where Julia Robert’s students each
presented her with the exact same completed paint-by-number, no two were
alike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of this, I believe it is
still art; we are all so unique that not even a mass produced project can make
us the same!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I know that old lady died long ago. I wonder if she had kids
and if so, did they keep any of her paintings?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Really I guess it doesn’t matter- I’m sure she did the paintings to pass
the time. But I also believe she did them for herself- because she enjoyed it-
and that’s why that little old widow, in her sunlight dappled sitting room, was
the first real “artist” I ever met.</div>

It's been raining here so of course that means...mushrooms! I love hunting for unusual mushrooms, but the best ones are those I just stumble upon, like these!</div>

It doesn't matter if the albums themselves are in good shape or if you like the music or content itself (but if you do that's even better), just look for covers that inspire you and fit with your overall color scheme and/or decorating style. Here are a few more fun theme ideas: Girls with guitars, guys with beards, musical genres, nature sounds or images, fitness albums or books read by the author; get creative, the options are endless! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I love books. I have spent countless hours in libraries,
thrift stores, yard sales, and book stores looking at books- not looking for
anything in particular, just marveling and how many stories have been told, all
the imagination and experience there is to share. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I get the appeal of digital readers, I really do- an entire
library at your fingertips anywhere you go, and more available for purchase in
an instant-great, but I feel like something’s missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The individuality of the books that comes
from the texture of the paper, the chosen font, the cover- you don’t get that
with digital readers. Maybe it’s not so important with magazines and
periodicals, or throwaway ‘beach reads’, but when I read a novel I develop a
relationship with the book that is as much tactile as it is intellectual. When I
pick up a book I read years ago, I remember when I read it, I
remember the feel of the book in my hands, and I even recall images of the book -in
my house, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>when I read it on a train or
in bed, laying on my nightstand. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That’s why I have kept so many books that I know I’ll
probably never read again- they remind me of my history; and that’s why I love
collecting antique books. Torn and tattered, I wonder about the people who read
them before me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So, today I’ve decided to share some of my vintage books with
you- enjoy!</div>

Ever heard the term "Svengali"? Well, it came from this book- George Du Maurier's "Trilby". My husband got me this copy for my birthday this weekend and it's lovely cover and illustrations inspired this post. This is an 1894 edition, same year the novel was first published:</div>

These next few are from a 1925 lesson book on music history- a cut and paste book! The language in this book is amusing, note the word 'savages' in the fourth image, second paragraph. Excuse the lopsidedness, I tried to get them as straight as I could without adding any more creases to the bindings. </div>

Last but not least I will share with you a 1905 edition of "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Anderson. I love fairy tales and the classics never get old. <a href="http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/">Here</a> is a great website all about fairy tales if you want to dig deeper. </div>

These are some examples of work I've done for <a href="http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject">The Sketchbook Project 2013</a>. The theme I chose is 'Memoir" so I've decided to focus mainly on my tumultuous relationship with my mother and her relationship with my grandmother, who died when I was 3; I have strong memories of my grandmother and the love she gave me, as well as the love my grandfather showed, so he is also included. My mother is bi-polar and this has made it very difficult to have a relationship with her. She is self-centered and doesn't have a very good memory of the past. There are painful events from my childhood that I remember vividly, but she claims to have no memory of (one of those events is pictured below- a terrifying day at Lake Lanier that took me years to get over!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, from all of my past I have learned that it's no use to wait for apologies- it's much better to find value in myself and not expect others to bestow value upon me. I've learned that being true to myself and doing what is right for me is the best path I can take. Sometimes this can make me seen harsh, but I believe it is best to follow my gut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know if these images will translate well into digital format- most of my work is 3 dimensional- using natural objects, yarn, and fabric to create depth- you can't really see that from a scanned image but I hope you will be able to see the heart and soul I've put in to this book so far. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are participating in The Project this year please connect with me so I can make a point to view your book when the tour comes to town. If you haven't signed up, please consider doing so- this is a great project that connects people from all over the world and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the past, and plan to do so in the years to come!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>

This image was made from a photo of my grandmother holding my mother on the beach, I glued alternate faces over theirs and taped down dried flowers to signify the passing of time; the butterfly wing (found on my property as is!) signifies broken dreams. The reflections you see are the tape holding things down. Normally, I wouldn't dream of using tape on my work, but the sketchbooks on tour will be handled by many fingers so they need to be made sturdy and secure!</div>

This is an altered photograph of my Grandaddy fishing. He used to take me along sometimes when I was 3 or 4 (before my Granny died) and I would always cry when I saw the poor fish with hooks in their mouths languishing in his rusty bucket. He always threw them back, but we still ended up having fish for dinner-gutted and with their eyes turning opaque in the skillet- I guess he didn't throw them ALL back!</div>

These last two are an image and an altered image of my worst memory. We were at Lake Lanier and I was lost- I couldn't find my mommy or brother and I was walking up to strangers and crying, asking for help, and I remember them all laughing- one guy gave me a Micky Mouse ice cream; suddenly my mom came up and snatched it away. I remember being so terrified that day, feeling abandoned and alone. Years later I discovered the above picture along with a stack of others like it. I confronted my mother and she laughed and said she had been watching me the whole time- I was infuriated! I can't even ignore the cries of my dog, and I couldn't imagine ignoring my own terrified child! I've run this event over so many times in my mind, thinking about the idea that memory is all about perception- and still I can't change my memory or the fear I felt that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I covered the images with sand, feathers, and bits of old photos- the blurred child gets a crown to signify that all children are innocent.</div>

“As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know
things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of,
and for the most part do not want to know.”

<span style="color: black;">I</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">n Laconia, New Hampshire, there is a little gem of a place called <a href="http://www.funspotnh.com/" target="_blank">Funspot</a>. It is the largest arcade in the world, featuring 3 levels and over 500 games, including classics, pinball, 8 bit, indoor mini golf and more! If you have seen the documentary <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0923752/" target="_blank">King of Kong</a>, it was filmed there. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked because it's pretty difficult to take pictures in an arcade and I was really pictured out by the time I got there. There is so much to do, including an outdoor ropes course, you couldn't do it all in a week! My favorite game was one not pictured here, where you try to roll a bowling ball over a hump and not have it come back to you. I don't know why I enjoyed that so much but I did. My husband actually worked the same game at Six Flags as a teenager and after trying all summer, he never once won, but for some reason it gives you the feeling that if you just try one more time you'll make it. I never made it. No wonder it's the highest paying game (in tickets) in the place! If you ever find yourself in the Boston area, it is worth the 2 hour drive to visit Funspot, and if you are not in the area but you just love video games, definitely check this place out before it's gone! There are plenty of campgrounds and hotels in the area, much to my surprise, and a beautiful lake.</span><img alt="" border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8_aNkJL2cLcXGVnVjmK-UM1UmPVfyjM6r62qXt2A9dVLz6QTQqNPINNpDMg3DGd-m4CJiudITqhETpLYVQx9HAEGpSwSkhYfDuIsdGhIDc4JW4PGiJggg_Hp2-HSN93iDn3aVDeZCLfGM/s640/boston+211.JPG" title="Funspot, Laconia N.H." width="640" /></div>

“I'm not in search of sanctity, sacredness, purity; these things are
found after this life, not in this life; but in this life I search to be
completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to
be found, to dance, to love and to lust, to be so human.”-C. JoyBell C.</div>

I was inspired by <a href="http://www.neweyedea.com/" target="_blank">this</a> artist to do some self portraits; and as I was posing for my pictures of course I found myself trying to look pretty! Doesn't everyone want to look pretty in a picture? But then I got sick of all that- the pictures never turned out as pretty as I wanted them to, or as pretty as so and so or so and so's picture. I thought to myself, what if I didn't try to be pretty? Would it be so terrible for someone to see an ugly picture of me? We are always posing, always wanting to be seen a certain way-and the way we want to be seen often changes from group to group. We all make judgements whether we want to or not because appearances are often the first thing we know about a person we haven't met. Unfortunately, we make these judgements so quickly and so unconsciously that sometimes we may be surprised to learn something new about someone we've already pegged. The good thing is, everyone else is worried about their image too, so most likely they won't notice that tiny little zit on your nose or that scar or those few grey hairs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But maybe they will and who cares!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my little homage to ugly, go out and get ugly today!</div>

The Praying Mantis is one of my favorite insects (along with stick bugs, beetles and butterflies). I love the way they can turn their heads and their unusual mating ritual- the female bites off her mate's head when she is finished with him! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was washing hydrangeas I cut from my garden when I saw this little guy scurrying across the counter; I tried to get him on a cup to take outside and you wouldn't believe the attitude! He was thrusting his arms at me and trying to be all scary. Too bad he was only one inch long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually only see about one Mantis per year, but since I know there are babies in the area maybe I will see more this summer. In the meantime, enjoy these pics of my baby Mantis!</div>

This is Carlos. He enjoys stuffing food in his cheeks, digging, running and looking cute. He sleeps all day and parties all night. He is strict in following the raw food diet- almonds, grapes and lettuce are his top picks. Carlos keeps a clean house, his motto is: "There is a corner for everything," and everything in it's corner makes for a tidy nest. Shredded paper towels are the ideal bedding, and you will never hear Carlos complain about crumbs in bed- in fact, sleep eating is one of his favorite pastimes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a challenge photographing Carlos because he cannot see past his whiskers. I told him to hold still and do what he does best- look adorable!</div>

Have you ever seen a shrew? Did you know that they are venomous? Did you know that they have the largest brain to body ratio (10%) of any mammal, including humans? Well, now you do!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I caught my dog torturing this little guy in the woods yesterday. He was laying limp on the ground making tittering sounds and I thought for sure his back was broken, or he was smooshed inside, but he was still alive so I decided to bring him home for some rehab. I carried him in my hands and he just lay there looking up at me with his tiny little pinprick of an eye, it was pitiful! He's only about 2 inches long, I thought he was a mole so I looked it up and found out he is actually a shrew, and shrews are venomous!! They are part of a specialized group, as venomous mammals are rare and include slow lorises, hedgehogs, moles, and the platypus. They use their venom to paralyze their prey of course, and for the shrew this is usually worms or grasshoppers and the like- it would be way too much work for a little guy like the shrew to drag his food all the way home; so they just paralyze it and come back to it later. And the best part is- it's still alive so it won't go bad! Sounds like a horror flick, huh? Fortunately, a shrew bite wont paralyze a human, but it will swell up and be sore for a few days. Luckily, I wasn't bit, and I've been told many times not to touch wild animals, but I just can't resist trying to save a poor little guy like this!</div>

Here are a few more interesting facts: a shrew can breathe carbon monoxide and survive on very little oxygen, they must eat 80% of their body weight daily, and they are not rodents.
