When going through magazines cut out letters and save them. You can use these in collages and in your journal to make a statement.. Photograph signs and letters on buildings to also use in your art work.

You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the door to the mysteries of the universe.

A Wish for You

Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
This is great on grilled shrimp salad!
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped green chile, jalapeno or chipotle pepper
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
In a blender, pulse the lime juice, vinegar, garlic, chile, honey, salt, and cilantro to a puree. With the machine running slowly add the oil to emulsify. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Whisk before serving to make sure all is mixed.
This is also a good marinator for steaks and chicken.

Beach Art Tip
This summer while out and about look for those natural things you can use in your art work. For instance... a walk on the beach is good exercise, barefoot along the shore is a natural pedicure, and some of those shells have pre-drilled holes in them to add to your artwork.
A little glitter adds a whole new dimension to shells, Use those holes to add a hanger. Decorate a tree with them.

Art Tip
From the kitchen to the studio is what I call this. I am sure you have seen or even own one of those revolving spice racks with all the jars in them. Spices are only good for a few months. So when they are all stale, clean out that spice rack and fill it with embellishments. Buttons, jacks, even fibers - those little plastic tops make ideal holes to thread your yarn and fibers to neatly pull them out as needed. The revolving part is cool because they are just fingertips away. I keep two in my studio and one on my sewing table. I found two at a garage sale for under five dollars.

Art Tip
A cheap an efficient cover for your work surface or art table is a plastic mattress cover. I prefer the crib sheet size. The elastic keeps it secure and the "slide factor" is cut down considerably. If you work at a dining room table a twin would work better. When ready to discard you can cut the cover up and use for a background for your artwork or sewing projects. Remember plastic will melt when heated. So watch your heatguns.

tabasco sauce, to taste, a few shakes
garlic salt, to taste

1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Melt the cream cheese and butter in a topboiler over simmering water. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Heat all the way through and serve in a chafing dish.

The Swans
Birds are my thing. I am fascinated by them. Always have been. If there was just one thing I could wish for it would be the ability to fly. To soar. I would like to share some of my bird friends with you along with some bird art. These two swans are Nicholas and Alexandra. They live in one of the lakes in my neighborhood just about a half a football field away from the intercoastal waterway. We have around nine to twelve pairs that live here. These two own this lake an usually have around 11 to 13 cygnets. Only about half survive. After almost four years they come and swim right up to me on my daily walk. It is amazing. Nicholas has to check me out before Alexandra is allowed near. She is easily bored. Nicholas being the typical male lets me admire his strength and beauty. He is quite the poser. North Carolina has one of the largest winter population of birds. Swans in particular. They all go to a place called Pocosin Lakes. It is a huge wildlife refuge. More Info http://www.fws.gov/pocosinlakes/
Can you imagine seeing a 100,000 tundra swans?

Natural Containers for Dips and Snacks
Many vegetables may be hollowed out and used as a container for dips. Squashes and peppers of various kinds make beautiful containers. For individual dip bowls use tomatoes. Plus the tomatoes can be eaten when empty. Kids really like these. Even using fruit hollowed out with cheese cubes, grapes and raisins make a cool snack. Plus no clean up.With summer approaching there will be an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits to use.

Art Tip
Do you have some crusty brushes you can't use laying around? or how about stamps with dried acrylic paint on them?
A little Murphy's Oil soap will do wonders. Soak your brushes in Murphy's Oil Soap. You will see the paint or gel medium start to dissolve. Rinse with cool water. Repeat if necessary. For stamps pour soap into a flat tray or dish, set stamp in tray. Let soak. Use a tooth brush to gently dislodge paint and rinse. Good as new. Also, the soap helps keep your wood mount from drying out.

Art Tip
Keep a camera handy at all times. make it a habit to take it with you even if it is to the grocery store. Some times even the most mundane things if captured the right way can become art. The line of a chair, the way the weeds look in fall, an old door falling off its hinges. You can also use it for remembering color combinations. The way that rusted barrel looked next to the purple salvia. Things like that. We often think we will remember that scene, those lines, the way those textures mixed together, but we don't. Think of your camera as a visual journal. You can print small thumbnails as reminders. Just enough visual reminder to re-inspire you.

What do with all that junk jewelry that is laying around in boxes and drawers. Just waiting to be that perfect embellishment piece for your latest art project. I found that if I displayed some of them I was more likely to use them. So I have this ugly lampshade in my studio - just plain white, but very big. So I took ribbon and hooked it to the top of the lampshade with decorated bobby pins and pinned all my junk brooches on them. When the light is on on the jewels shine and I am constantly reminded of what I have.

Yard Sale Find

Art Tip
Speaking of scraps...now is the time to pick up denim and fabric scraps. Yard sales are a great source of inexpensive fabric. You can usually purchase a dress or shirt for under a dollar. Where can you buy fabric that cheap? Also keep an eye out for clothing with unusual buttons or beading that you can use. I like to buy jeans and cut them up. They make great background for fabric books and can be cut up to make homemade paper. So get a couple of art buddies together, map out a route, split the gas and go bargain hunting.
