WOW!!
Holy Smokes!! I am so sorry to be away for so long--again--but it's been such a crazy month! It has gotten awfully busy around here and in order to simplify some of the clutter, I am trying some Spring Cleaning in that big closet of Life!
Much of this busy-ness is mostly due to my "other life," the one I live, away from the easel, but it is equally as folksy and magical. Some of you may know about The Beyond Vagabond Project, and I am currently waist high in the middle of it.
Right now I am writing to you from Florida, having just returned here from the holidays, seven weeks after I FIRST left. I am on an old-fashioned adventure to document a historic wagon train WITH horses, and then from there, I will be going to Iowa and Illinois to teach beekeeping, cooking, and various other mad-capped adventures (by the way, if you're interested in taking classes from me, you can find a whole big list HERE!
As you can guess, I am stretched pretty thin between prepping for these upcoming adventures, and art, and in general, I am coming back to the notion that I have to streamline THIS site in order to move forward, but I'm not sure?
I guess it's a bit of online Spring Cleaning--- I'm thinking of just putting up quick SALES posts of items and art as they become available, and then back-linking to the Beyond Vagabond site for actual stories of how they are made, so this (once again) would be strictly a sales only site, but how would you, Dear Readers, feel about this change?
I feel as though I'm heading to try to create an entire folk WORLD, between old fashioned horsemanship, antiques, folk ART, beekeeping, farming and general old-fashioned living, maybe there is a way to finally put this in one (or even just TWO) places..
In the meantime, I still have THESE folk art pieces at the PFATT Marketplace!
The Owl and PussyCat, a OOAK Woodburned AND Painted LARGE wall hanging/ornament
The Star Messenger, A OOAK Artpiece painted directly on a log.....
Polar Bear Express and Sweethearts: OOAK Wood burned AND Wood painted Pieces...
Bring an enchanted art piece home--each purchase goes directly to funding the Gypsy Wagon Horse art dream at Beyond Vagabond!
Whatever you do will be equally special. You know you live vigariously thru this farmer all settled and stabel while I live another live of art and magic thru YOU !
ReplyDeleteOh my, you are busy...need to take naps after reading your posts!! LOL I think it's in the air, but seems everyone's got the "creative" thing going...maybe it's before the summer's heat hits...sigh!! Told my hubby last year if we don't get central air conditioning in this house, I'm moving to the Holiday Inn for the summer's duration...looks like I'll hanging out there this summer!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and love your wonderful artwork.
xxoo,

Never a dull moment with you! I do believe you should start writing your memoirs now!
ReplyDeleteHappy Trails to you. ♥
