2012 world tour sketchbook project - It's here!!!

 Here it is, "The Sketchbook Project" has arrived (woh! that was fast!)
I started on it right away, I was so motivated! I hope it keeps that way. I want to do something special, inspired knowing many hands will visit it in the Brooklyn library for years and on the 2012 tour! It's exciting!

May my muse be there for me!

The Wheel of Time

I thought I would give you a link that speaks about a great book series called "The wheel Of Time" by Robert Jordan.

I am falling in love with it more and more.

 (I just started the 2nd book) ...I can not quite figure out why I love it so much exactly. It seems full of wisdom and beyond that a vision of a better world possible where wisdom is well guarded and well tought. That is something I cherish terribly: this idea of wisdom being tought and protected, which lacks so sadly in our world.

Here is a great article about the books by Abby Goldsmith:

I agree with everything she says.

I love also this idea of a God called the Light, which fits my beliefs in NDE teachings...

...so...

... "The Light protect you"!

sketchbooks... sketchbooks... everywhere!!!

Yes!
I started a journal with my friend Chantel from work about coffee tasting...

...and just now I registered for this sketchbook project:

What a wonderful idea she had!!!

And then of course I have my own Note Book blog (not very up to date but ...some day...!!!)

I guess I love all manners of artist notes and sketches!!!
And it is so great to exchange and interact with other artists! I love that!

...so friends, see you out there on the Arthouse Sketchbook World Tour... or on Emilielafolie blog!!!!

Arh! funfunfun!

Dolls in progress

This is where we are at. step by step we will get to the end.

Just so you don't wash your hand off me, I have booked some serious vaccations in september to do some serious Art. Of course it is very dangerous for a full time procrastinator to make any kind of promise but between now and then we should make some head way. That's all I can say really .

...You know me.

dolls essay

Here are some trials for possible driftwood dolls.
and some finished rough bodies for small one, maybe a little series of 4...
from my Toronto island drift wood collection !

I am back from a short trip to Algonquin and feeling so wonderful about it.

So many wonders there to see!
...amazing things.

Like a woolf howling just meters away!
...a snaping turtle coming to say hi... a tendem of loons racing under water with our canoe!!!
...thousands of dragon flies racing around us catching all the mosquitoes
perfect weather, the sound of water gurgling around our canoe...

Must I go on?
You get the picture.
You think "Damn lucky gall!"
You are right!

Damn lucky.
