For anyone who is interested, here are my new fabulous glasses. The whole big picture was taken at the 70 year old birthday party I reported on the other day, and it arrived unedited last night taking up my entire mailbox along with several other pictures. System crashed, so I paid dearly. Good thing I can now see the monitor. And believe me, you do not need to see the weird thing that I was doing with my mouth. As usual.
Oh, hot damn, I just noticed the date is Friday the 13th. No wonder the newspaper is full of horror movies for Hallowe'en so early.
From my Robert Genn newsletter, where he is answering a letter from an art teacher who finds her class painting 'just like her': << I find it impossible to teach without telling
everything I know--which sometimes takes several minutes.
Seriously, I like sharing every little bit of arcane info that
I can possibly drag up. I think most teachers feel the same
way. And while you may think that having students grab your
precious knowledge and clone your work is a problem--it isn't.
In my experience it tends to be the weaker teachers--and the
weaker artists--who are the most worried about this. The real
problem is that teaching can stealthily eviscerate your own
need for art-making.>>
Hooha- talk about your nutshells! (I love Robert Genns newsletters, sign up here.)
And a quote from one of Deb's e-mails of unknown origins:
'I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.'
And here are my very cute new sorta-business cards. I have found them invaluable for cutting up for my plan for the show- I have most of the quuilts I am including in tiny little pictures that are perfect for the 1/4" scale graph paper I am plotting on. BTW, thanks for this tip, to map it all out, Max. I will take a few extra small pieces but it is amazing how much space so few quilts take up once you add in the 'breathing' space! Live and learn, eh?
