hats / incompetent

here are some of our projects!
I really had such a fun time, I think my cheeks even cramped up from smiling at one point that night.
I wanted to send out a special thank you to everyone; this was our first PG13 artnite (my niece maddy tug along) so thanks everyone for dropping a few less F-bombs, it didn’t go unnoticed. Another thanks for helping her get over being a little shy come project time (Adam! You rule). One last shout out to those brave newbies that came, and actually brought freaking awesome projects….I hope you guys had fun and are planning your return.
Melissa and Jason, your house looked great and your new lighting set up is way way WAY impressive. Can’t wait to see how far you get next month, thanks for opening your doors to us.
Until next time…

july projects

fun stuff. Thanks everyone for coming out for the christening of my new firepit...it was a very proud mama moment for me.

hope everyone is enjoying the SUN-SHINE!

REAL
by Ivy Cox

Real.
What is real? ... Is is what we can see?
"Did you see that?" ... "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! It just disapeared into thin air!" ... "How could that be?" ..."That just can't be real!"

What is real? ... Is it what we can hear?
"Did you hear what he said?" ... "There's no way, dude!" ... "That didn't sound like him at all!" ... "That's not what I heard." ... "I don't believe it." ... "It couldn't have been real."

What is real? ... Is it what we can smell?
"Do you smell that?" ... "I don't smell anything." ... "It smells like cat pee." ... "My house doesn't smell like cat pee! It must be in your head. I don't smell it at all!" ... "I'm sorry, but that stink is real! Real bad."

What is real? ... Is it what we can taste?
"You've got to taste this! Close your eyes, and tell me what you think." ... "Umm, I can't taste anything, I've got a cold!" ... "This crab meat, it's sooo awesome!" ... "Hey, did you read this can? It's the fake stuff. It's not even real crab meat!" ... "But it tasted so real!?"

What is real? ... Is it what we can touch?
"Feel this coat." ... "Oh my, is soooo soft! Is is rabit?" ... "Nope." ... "Mink?" ... "Nope." ... "Well it must be real fur, it's so perfect feeling! What it is? ... "It's all synthetic. Fake". ... "Wow, I could have sworn it was real!"

What is real? ... Is it what we feel?
"This is it. This is real. I'm in love!" ... "Oh yeah? Do you guys have lots to talk about?" ... "Well we don't talk too much, but when he looks and me and smiles, I get all tingley inside!" ... "Do you guys do lots of things together you enjoy?" ... "Yeah, lately, we've been at his house all day makin' lots of love!" ... "Hmm. Well do you have anything in common?" ... "Well, I dunno, but this feeling has got to be real love. It's incredible!" ... "Um, I hate to say this, but that is just the feeling of lust, lieing to you. What your feeling,,, isn't real."

So, what is real? As our senses diseive us what can be know to be real? Is it simply personal opinion? Does every person have and create their own reality? Our thoughts, our feelings... are they real? What is our soul, our concience? Are they real? How do we know? ... What's your REAL?

our coulda-beens

for the sake of fun...here are the topics that didn't get picked. I just thought it would be cool to share the variety.

aww, look at em

meet our monsters.
Thanks everyone for sticking around to make these cute little guys, it was so much fun to create something at art nite! this could easily become the dawning of a new art nite trend. it was neat to see everyone really put their heads down, tongues out and guerilla create...and the outcome was beyond worth it!
Note from Donna regarding the monster drop:
Just an FYI I dropped off all of the beauties at Lancaster General and the volunteers there LOVED them! On the ones I made I also put a little plug for my free painting videos on the website. Then I asked about other art related volunteer opportunities at the hospital and Dawn said I would be perfect for this traveling art cart they are starting next month. The patients who have an extended stay ahead of them get to decorate their rooms with stuff off of the traveling art cart. I told her I was really interested so we will see...Thanks for all of your help. I think the dolls are really going to make a difference to some special kids. Give yourself a pat on the back you are all wonderful, beautiful people :) I'll probably be making another batch within the next two months if you want to participate more.~Donna
