I Arted

I realized that I like to blog my art projects. Not to show off or impress my four readers (you are impressed though, aren't you four readers?), really I do it as documentation. I've said a hundred times that process attracts me to art. Even my own process I guess. But really, it's nice to have things all in one place complete with date and time stamp. Suddenly my one project's process becomes one 'previous' from the time before that and the time before that. And then .... well then you have a whole lot more....

So what happens when I can't blog my art, because the projects are for two of my four readers? Well, first I might post my pics on the places I know they will never find... twitter, instagram. Then I hold it in. And die. And hold it in. Until the secret is out.

Story goes - My sister is an indecisive art buyer. She's been looking to pay homage to her Wisconsin roots. Like all of us, the Wisconsin State Hearts floating around have been tempting her for a while. Well, shit. I can do that. But I can Mary that.

My color choices wavered, torn between oranges/browns and blues/silvers. I ended up making both. That's how my other sister ended up with one. Then I made a purple one. I'm not sure if that's for me or not. Who am I kidding? It will inevitably get hung up in my self-indulgent, own-art filled apartment... I just don't know what to do with any of it. Anyway. Here's a photo, or two, or three of me playing with stenciling and decoupage and hometown roots.

There you have it. Wisconsin Love.
