Art books refresh my creative juices. I just finished The White Rabbit and Other Delights by Alan Bisbort.

Xmas Fun

What a long strange trip it’s been. I will give this book to my friend who is moving to Arkansas next week. We are getting together tomorrow for lunch and to say ‘goodbye’.
My friend is an artist. A REAL artist, and she will love this book. Even though she is younger than my son, she still finds the sixties art interesting and inspiring, and understands the philosophies involved with being a seeker and a slacker.
Don’t expect wedding invitations from her, she’s going to Arkansas to stay with her Dad for a surgical procedure. The reason she’s actually moving there, is because she wanted to move anyway and her lease is up, and it just seems like a good time.
I remember being that loosely tied, back in the sixties.

Summer Job?

ceramic plate

This little plate is the best thing I have made so far in ceramics class. It is about 8 inches by 10 inches.
I signed up for the 3 credit Mata Ortiz ceramic class/trip. Mata Ortiz is about 100 miles south of New Mexico a little northeast of the Casa Grande ruins. I hope we get to go see them, the ruins, while we are there.
I will be back in early June and unemployed. I might take a Spanish class this summer, but that won’t take a lot of time and I have my eyes on the evening class anyway, I have heard good things about the teacher for that particular class.
I love sales, and have even thought of commission only sales for the summer, which is the easiest job to get in this economy. I looked here life insurance lead . Just not sure what I might find, but I AM half-way looking. I don’t want to work hard.
Paris came up with ‘posterior glaucoma unemployment’ which translates into ‘I can’t see my a55 getting a real job’. That’s me.
I also am looking into an internship with Shell. They are one of my most promising targets for Planet Cornucopia money, as they donate a lot and have a large non-profit unit. I would consider working in the non-profit part of Shell Oil, and an internship would be a great place to start.

Business cards

So I found some creamy-colored business card stock the other day that I liked real well, I wasn’t cheap, but what the heck. Now I need to design my own logo. I will probably break down and print some off with just my name and email and number if I don’t get off the stick and come up with something soon.
I have labels for my clothing and quilts, but the business cards will have to be different since I will use them for all things, not just the fabric-goods design line.
Once I get the logo, I can order all sorts of promotional products. Here is a good place to start looking. Things like cups, t-shirts, pens. I think a t-shirt would be cool with Stewart Creations on it. I can take the shirt apart and embellish it like I do with lace or ruffles or cut sleeves. Yeah, that would be cool. I have a t-shirt design I am working on that’s SOOO funky! I’m putting regular cloth gores in it from the empire line down to the hem for an all-over flare and leaving the seams all outside for that funky look. Then I cut down the neckband and sleeves for even more funk. We’ll see how it goes, I have one prototype that I’m not 100% happy with, but working on another. i sure like embellishing things!
