Nuts For A Great Cause!!!


How To Be Surrounded By Nuts Without Cracking Up


I am treading dangerous territory here. I am talking about nuts and cracking up. Not good. Not good at all. It's time to go away, for a good while. I will be busy balancing, undoing, recharging, prioritizing, getting massages and back rubs. I have said that before, haven't I?

I am creating some original artwork (drawings) and also making limited edition prints to donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for their charity auction this fall. I am inviting my artist friends, if you would like to contribute, think about how you can help. No new tasks, you may donate signed prints of your artwork, one or two. If you are interested, please send me an email and I will send you the information, including tax credit forms, donation forms, contacts, etc. It's a great cause. Think about it. The catalog will be released on September 30th, so it will be nice if can send your contributions by September 1st. Have a great summer!!!

  2. I like seeing the stages of your acorns. While I am really fond of pen and ink, sometimes I let myself get dismayed by the amount of drawing it takes to get something really good. I like how you broke it down into steps - something I do in other areas of my life and need to extend to my art. Your work really speaks to me.

  4. Nuts? Cracking up? I think it might be the summer heat. We're pretty squirrely here in Savannah. Nice to see what you're up to!

  6. I ALSO adore the nuts, Ces. But I tried "viola"...and that might as well be a girl's name. My acorn looked like a pee-can.

    Maybe tomorrow. Of course, ya do not learn violin by "watching", either--grin!

  7. Hello Italian Bread. :) Ow, I love it when people talk nuts, don't you?

    Heheh.

    Yes, go get that beauty sleep, preferably with some shiatsu massages on the side. Your roots and branches need pampering.

    Have a good time off! (hugs)

  14. Ces, I know about nuts and cracking up. Do rest, rejuvenate, and re-charge. We have to do that sometimes. Now all that said, please do send me the info on the donations for Susan G. Komen Foundation. I'd love to donate something. You have my email address, I believe, or you can go through my profile on my blog. Thanks darlin'. I send you big hugs. And give one to your husband for me too; I'm so glad you two have each other and are "in this" together.

  15. How wonderful.
    I just love this piece. Is this the one my Mom had? She was so thrilled, humbled and excited when you sent her her collection of nuts. We were all awed.
    Thank you for you comments on my Mom's blog. I feel your understanding, wisdom and comfort. I often go back and read them because you always leave some sort of positive thought for me to focus on and give me some strength.
    I hope you are keeping well and balanced.
    Much love,
    Angelique
