I spent some time cleaning my art "studio" up yesterday, going through supplies and reorganizing. Afterwards, I spent some time making new crayons out of old, stubby bits. Before I melted them, I had the spark of thought to use my recent pursuits at the zoo as new colors, and snuck in a few fave pieces/artists as well. If you've never made your own crayons, I strongly suggest you do so right now. Seriously. I revisit this activity pretty frequently--it's a great color theory action but it's also just super-fun!
I collect paint chips. I de-story books. I blow bubbles. I write poetry (mostly) and take pictures. I love vintage Pyrex and Hermosa Beach and mapping southern California. My alter-ego/better half is a fictional character I created named Stella. I write about Stella and her adventures and right now her adventures are set in the Salton Sea, another place I love. I make jellyfish.
I've been an art teacher, police dispatcher, floral designer, case manager, project manager, three-time AmeriCorps member and hopefully soon just a regular old administrator.
Wanna know a secret? I think I might have a little crush on you, but don't hold it against me.
