509 = 3

Wondering just what sort of art math I'm up to now? In what universe 509 = 3? In the blogiverse, of course!


In celebration of passing the 500th blog post milestone (this post is #509 - 500 was back in Cleveland - day 4's morning walk, in fact), I've made 3 journals to give away as my way of saying Thank You! to everyone who reads my little blog.


The journals are made of papers that I marked on after returning from this year's artist retreat at Pam's .


Roughly measuring 6 inches square,


 each has 18-20 pages, including the cover.


There is movement


and color.


Mostly blue as I was dreaming of water as I did these.


The edges are rough


as are the journals themselves. They are imperfect and incomplete. Every other spread is blank - awaiting your own marks and words.

If you fancy having one of my little journals, you have until midnight New York City time on Saturday, September 6, to leave a comment here or on the corresponding post on my Facebook artist page. Next Sunday morning, the little urchins and I will draw names. Don't forget to leave your blog address or email address in your comment in case your name is drawn.

Good luck! And Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

  9. oh yes please ..... add my name to the hat. You have been brave with almost the exact blue I have been wanting to use. You will chuckle when I post next as you will see the thread I have been draping across some work I have done trying to encourage me to be brave! And now I see you doing it .... I am encouraged.....
