Stepping back from fb for... but the old bird is still here.

It's still a Red shed...                      10/08/2018

The Shed is still Red... 
We, Panguitch, have moved from summer to fall/winter, grey cloudy skies with rain and colder weather the past three days. Running the wood pellet stove, feeling the wood warm... which is different then electric or forced air heat.

Let's take a break... relax let the air out of your shoes...

Have been counseled by the Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to take a break from social media... so i am in the process of deactivating my facebook account, it's a 30 day process till facebook deletes the account and it all goes away, i do not think at this point i will return as i did the last time i tried this... the noise and contention in the world is getting greater... will see how i feel in twenty five days or so. I will continue with this blog to let those who want to see what i am up to and share thoughts and ideas that are rattling about in my head, also post some of my ART and images as i plug along with ongoing projects. I will try to post here at least monthly or more if the head starts to run over... must keep better notes.

" There is so much incivility in the world today... I like the idea of our words being clear as a sunny sky and full of grace."            ---Elder Dieter Uchtdorf---

easing the bumps and mud...

 Now that most of the summer road work about town is done... at my house the fiberoptic line is installed and the internet is flowing into and back out of the house, so we had the front drive way to the street chip seal paved to avoid the winter puddles, mud and bumps to make for a smoother take-off and landing... and it saves me from tracking as much outside inside the house, that is on my skill list! I am sure the weather will do what it always does this time of year around here, change, from wet to dry, sunny to cloudy, and sooner or later snow depending upon the week or time of the month, we don't have seasons here, in name only, just changing weather, such is the the way of the high desert mountain valleys of south central Utah, and we do heat and cold all year long! 

#3 Shadow Box, collage, "Mother's Religion"       10/08/2018

A month or so ago my Sister mailed me a box of our Mother's saved stuff that she no longer wants to keep around, so i have now become the family record keeper. i understand her desire to "thin out" her closet and house, as i have been doing the same thinning... so far i have narrowed down the saved records to four file boxes of family and my history, organized, and its all game for my ART, of which you see a work in process. This is collage work applied to a wooden shdow box... assemblage work still to come. The images and the saved objects will come from the box of Mother's box to me from sister, Thank You. 
Keep a sketch book and journal, they will be the record of who and what you are for your children & grandchildren... write from your heART, personal feelings and the truth that you know... let them toss it away if they don't want it!

That does me for this time around, come back again if you desire, i may not have much to say but i should have something to say.
