I find it hard to get going when it's grey and gloomy and wet outside.
A part of me just wants to curl up on the couch with a hot drink and watch old movies on television. Reading would only make me drowsy; my reading is reserved for nighttime.
Another part of me recoils at the very thought and wants to be active: move something, anything.
And another part of me compromises: Have a shot of coffee, then make something.
That's the part I listen to. It always leads to my getting out of the house....

So this piece of wood has been sitting on my table. It's the only one I have, so I've waited for the "right" idea (idée juste?). I don't know if this is it, but I went ahead anyway.

Another little wooden block, using what I already have: mica, millinery flowers, old paper.

Wood Tales

When I came across ATC-size wooden blocks here, I was instantly smitten. I'd been thinking about working on wood, and had started with my little printer's blocks, so Aileen's wooden blocks were perfect for me. I've used two so far.

This one that I made for my friend Jc and which now resides in Bonita Bay (Florida).

 And this one: It was dented in places as wood can tend to be, and I loved it even more for that. I added a little paint to "age" it further.
