What Comes Around
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: Buy the Sky-R.E.M.
Topic: Money's Money
Welcome back, Star Wars friends and foes alike. I assure you that the Force is with you. Try not to be against it.
Having two custom mandalas to work on is really fun. As usual, I discover all kinds of fun things and I get into these theme schemes.
Ida's Aries Art is taking shape through some very purposeful paper shredding. It is REALLY layered, and has yet to get any paint. It's going to be deluxe.
Tobi and Alex are creating little miracles around me. The first person to see their mandala duet at it's beginning, besides the people who live in this house, was Dylan's friend ALEX. (Then Alex's mom. BTW-they both liked the color choices.)
The funny thing I learned about their piece is that it will be paid for in a roundabout kinda way. The story goes, Tobi's best friend is my boss. I currently owe my boss the same amount that I am getting for the mandala. My boss, in the mean time, bought a couple of chairs from Tobi for (coincidently?) the same amount as well!! So, when I deliver the mandala, I will get the money from Tobi, give it to my boss, and she can give it BACK TO TOBI!!! We each get what we want, for the same amount and no money will really have to be exchanged!! Tobi and Alex get a mandala, my boss get's two chairs, as for me, I get to buy the front half of MY PUPPY!!! (I already freed the back half with Ida's!) Mandala MAGIC!!!

Star Wars
Mood:  spacey
Now Playing: After Midnight-Eric Clapton
Topic: the Force
Star Wars, wonderful Star Wars, Fabulous Star Wars, Sta-a-ar Wars. Maybe I should have stayed at the hoppin VRC for the premier of the latest installment of computer generated armies. Tonight there was a line 3 or 4 people wide and curled through the at capacity parking lot, waiting for the midnite hour to see Annakin Lose His Marbles. I am wondering who is crazier. Then I recall my last couple of entries and I realize "When you point ONE finger at someone else, there are THREE pointing back at YOU!!"

Topic: IDAS
My apologies to those of you who I have already bored with my story. I have to keep the whole network up to speed.
I wrote that entry this morning about Ida and my I.D.A. and about how I was going to put the caudeceus in the mandala. WELL... It just so happened that I went downtown to drop off some paperwork for my I.D.A., and pick up some paper for Ida's Aries Art. (Like I said "I'd better get moving!", so I did.) Anyway, after picking about 6 pieces of beautiful paper for her piece, I got into my car to drive home. I pulled onto the main artery to my home, and I was behind a white van that delivers medical supplies. It says SHAW (~) MED and instead of my little (~) there is a gold CAUDECIUS. I was behind it for the main part of my drive home and couldn't help but laugh knowing that I was thinking of that VERY image for her. I don't care what anyone else thinks, it makes me giggle when I get reinforcement from my environment.
Coincidence, or Random Chance, a Long Strange Trip, or LUCK..? Who are we to say. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Ida and I.D.A.
Mood:  lucky
Now Playing: It's Alright-The Traveling Willburys
Topic: Sense a Pattern?
I'm not going to get any more hours in one day, so I've started thinking about it all as one big day, that we sleep through parts of. I am going to set up my I.D.A. savings plan that allows me to save up to $1334 and they will match it 3:1 (that's $4000 for all you private school delinquents who skipped math to smoke and drink with the cutie laundry delivery boy...you know who you are.) When they say that there is money out there for small businesses, believe them, but it ain't happening if you don't make it happen!!!
I am also going to the art supply store to find the paper for Ida's Aries Art. Ida is a girl who goes to private school in Indiana, but is from Portland. She is a young Aries girl who has always wanted to save someone's life! She has the world as her oyster at this point, the paths are laid out in front of her and she is trying to figure out which one to put her foot on. I want her mandala to contain the symbol of the caudecius, the staff of healing. I'd better get started!!!

Now Playing: Earn Enough for Us-XTC on XRT
Topic: like a villain
Work, Work and more Work. One of the regular cast and crew of the "Burning Burrito" is on vacation, and part of my deal with the big britches is that I fill in and do my part when the crew needs a filler. Job Title: Bondo. This means an extra day for it to suck the life out of me this week, but also a few extra shillings in the coffer in the near future.
I made a bit of progress on the Tobi and Alex write up. I wrote two pages already and have barely scratched the surface of all there is to say about what I have found out! I also have a good picture of what I am going to do with Ida's Aries Artwork. I don't know how to explain the leap in information that I am getting with these new pictures. Images are coming quickly. I am really productive. I know that I want them to have several levels. I want them to have varied textures and found object elements. The major stopping block is that I have no place to store the kind of findlings that I want to have on hand. It's kind of an addiction, once you start allowing yourself to pick up odds and ends that will "eventually become sculpture". It is just as likely they will become CLUTTER!!! I need the mojo to be able to know the difference.

Now Playing: Everyday I Write the Book-Elvis Costello
Topic: Tuesday
I'm layin it all on the line. Just puttin it out there, so the Universe can hear me. I had a great Market last Saturday. I set up in the spot that I had last week. I have picked the southwest corner of the Fountain Block as my favorite spot. I did a bunch of hairwraps. The cards and prints were selling, and met a girl who comissioned a custom one on the spot! I have to finish Alex and Tobi's. I am really close, just have to ink the outlines. I have peer group for Project Grow tonite, and I have almost made my monthly sales goal for market with two weekends left! Happy Happy.
So, to the Universe, By putting out all of the effort that I have done so far to make it happen with the gifts that I have been given, I say Thank You, and I hope that I am capable of the output that I am going to need to maintain in order to make this work to my advantage. Art takes time. I'd better use mine wisely!

Topic: Lucky So Far
Spent most of the day working on the mandala for Tobi and Alex. I am really excited about it. I didn't give them a whole lot of say in any of it. I just took their information, and the drawing just happened on it's own. There are elements that I know they wanted it to have, that just aren't there. I think it is important for them to not have any control over the process. I don't know them at all, I just go with what I feel. I feel like it's coming along quite nicely!
Now I'd better get to bed, or I will be dragging all day at Saturday Market. SEE YA!

I don't know what to say. I have so much going through my brain, I don't know where to begin. I could just stay home and paint for a couple of weeks without stopping, if only time would let me. Can I call in and say that I am in labor with some new artworks, I can't come in. I have today off, Saturday Market tomorrow-which means I have to do a few things to get ready for that today. I have to make time for my kids tonight. I'd better get a move on!!!
I got a mandala comission for a couple who actually wanted 2 seperate mandalas, however I got the inspiration that they be in the same frame. I picked out some paper and got to work yesterday, and it took off into a whole new level. It is good that I had some time to learn a few things since the last round of custom works. The couple are a Gemini and a Sagittarius. They are air and fire. The last few mandalas that I created were for Sagittarius.
The high spirited horse usually stirs up the energy pretty good. Last time I got a lesson in VooDoo. In the ceremonies where people are possessed, the "host" is called the "horse", and the god that possesses it is the "rider". I learned about the twins, Lisa and Mawu. They are Yin and Yang. They represent the male and female energies. The active and the passive. I'm sure that there is a very good story waiting to be told for these two. I added a shot of the work in progress in my photo album-Check it out!!!
