Well, here it is 2008. Already the 2nd, by about an hour. I spent most of the day and all evening in the studio. If what you do on New Year's Day is what you'll do all year, then I'm going to have a wonderful year of artifying. I avoided any cleaning, arranging, sorting or tidying...I just made stuff. So I think I'm safe.
I'm not a resolution-maker by any means, but I dearly want this to be a year of Doing Things Differently. And I want it to be a year of Using My Cool Stuff. I have so much cool stuff in the studio that I don't even know what I have. I keep chanting "You haven't saved it until you've used it. You haven't saved it until you've used it." I think I finally, truly BELIEVE that. Now I want to use it.
Here are some new and old Artistamps I've made. I made some more this evening but didn't bring them home to scan. All of these were issued by the Ephemeroptera Post or the Royal Ipomoeian Postal Authority...more on those another time.

Coming up in Room 206
This week brings the 3rd Friday in February, and as there are no birthdays, jury duties, blizzards (I guess) or other emergencies Room206 will be open!
Come any time after 6:30 pm. (A little later than usual.)
Expect the Olympics to be on, quietly, in the background.

About the Art Parties...
Art Parties are no longer held in my studio, but they were fun while they lasted! Thanks to everyone who came and played and shared and supported my efforts. in the Shoreline Historical Museum on the First Tuesday and Third Friday of each month. It's a drop-in art playtime for grown-ups! There's usually an organized project for the evening, but if you'd rather bring your own work and just enjoy the company, that's fine too. Come any time after 6 pm, stay as long as you like; we usually go on until at least midnight. Come in the back door (by the ramp) and up to the top floor, Room 206.
If you'd like more details, e-mail, or call 206-853-2513.

Why Room 206?
Well, my studio is located in what used to be the sixth grade classroom of what used to be the Ronald Elementary School. The Ronald School opened in 1906, and closed in the 70's, after which the building became the Shoreline Historical Museum. The museum has two rooms which it rents out, and I am very lucky to occupy one of them, Room 206. The teacher's name is still on the blackboard!

This is a test comment; someone said comments aren't (isn't?) working.
You have an amazing collection of materials to work with in your studio. I'm looking forward to seeing what you will do with them, and I'm looking forward to a different sort of a year, this go around, too.
