Suzi Blu and the ladies in Chat Room

Today, I had an opportunity to talk to Suzi Blu a bit through the chat room along with other ladies writing in or talking via different methods like skype etc.

I was all excited hoping that everyone would be talking art, but I did not find that that is what was happening. There were many women writing and mostly telling where they were from in which I did also and just saying hi to one another.

I had so many questions I wanted to ask Suzi Blu. I asked her about what her next mermaid was going to be like and what would it be wearing. I asked her where she got her inspirations to make up her videos. I asked her how to incorporate her new stamps that she has designed. I also mentioned about my blog and my freebies, and she said don't worry about the freebies or the blog, but just let people know who I am as a person. Well, I don't want to give up this blog first of all because I have had over 260 views in 17 days which I am thrilled about. Only three comments, so I really wish you would comment. I would like people to get to know more about my art, what I think when I am doing it and perhaps even perhaps want to purchase a piece or a copy.

I am a stay at home mom for over 25 years. Homeschooling has been the way for my children's education. I have had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue since I was fifteen years old. I met and married a man who I thought would love me forever and he did not, so I because a single mom after 20 years of marriage. I was divorced after 3 1/2 years of singleness and remarried a really wonderful man. Being a christian, I read and study the bible, teach women and their daughters, write ebooks, blogs, garden, taking a class herbmentor.com, and my favorite thing to do amidst reading the word, church, family, gardening, walking, the outdoors and beach is MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE! Oh, it combines art, my collection of junk, antiquing, talking to people, history and so much more that let's out my creativity and things I didn't even know were inside my head!

Mona Lisa

I honestly wonder how many times the Mona Lisa has either been in an art book, a history book, hanging in a museum, re-copied to be used in a new piece of art?

Many years ago, I had Mona Lisa's picture in a frame on my wall overlooking my bed. It was kind of funny because I always felt like she was looking at me so I took it down.

Well, this time, I found a little chunky art book on France in a second hand book store. It is almost perfect in it's square shape, it's paper is glossy but a nice thickness and it has many pages. The photography is so interesting in this little book I am not sure how I want to cover the pages. I don't know if I should glue all of the pages together, cut into them to make a thick frame, and insert something into it like a shrine or work on each page leaving some of the photo that is there to be implemented into my work. Decisions, Decisions, but good ones and fun ones to make.
