MANDALA EYES

Remember the old Beatles tune Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds? Well, that tune was on my mind when I doodled this, cuz sometimes I have those eyes too! I like to maintain a lighthearted attitude, because life is too short too take it too seriously, and angels can fly cuz they take themselves lightly.

Over the past few weeks I have been graced with blog awards from some thoughtful and fun folks who inhabit the blogosphere here. Thank you muchly, Sweet Irene, John Mora, and Diane Clancy for the recognition. I do enjoy the acknowledgment and enjoy watching my girl scout badge sash become more colorful with all these honors!

E FOR EXCELLENCE

MWAH
‘It’s a big kiss, of the chaste, platonic kind, from me to you with the underlying ‘thanks’ message implied. I really do appreciate your support and your friendship, and yes, your comments.’

I have decided to bestow these two particular blog awards to one particular Connie Rose, who has taken to blogging like a fish takes to water (and what else would you expect from a Pisces?)
Connie is in the Artists in Business group I have been participating in since sometime last spring. She and fellow artist Joan Gold and I are going to continue meeting after the business group ends in March. I look forward to continued interaction with these two other women who want to keep the business momentum alive. Enjoy your awards, Ms Rose. I look forward to many more months of learning about spinning and weaving and can hardly wait to see your fractals incorporated in your work. Go check her out!

Thanks for the Love

Shirley Two Feathers has an amazing blog where she features all things mandala. I have been following her for quite a while. Recently she featured some of my greeting cards on her blog. Thanks for the link love, Shirley.

Another fearless mandala artist, Sweet Irene, recently honored me with some blog love which I have posted towards the bottom of my page. I love Irene's courage and enthusiasm. She is strong and brave and healing through her art. If you have not met Sweet Irene yet, now is the time to go say hi.

Thank all of you as well who commented on my irritation with Epson. My intent was to express dissatisfaction with Epson's corporate greed. You know that once there is less competition, ink prices are bound to rise even more. And if Epson sets an example and wins this case, will HP and Canon follow suit? I intend to write to both Epson and my state senator. Final decision on this cease and desist order will be made by President Bush. It is the lack of choice being given the average consumer that irritates me. I know that there are other answers out there for how I choose to market my art, but printing my art with an Epson printer is not likely to be one of them.
