homeward bound

Mar 31, 2008 | Entrepreneurship, Life in Progress

(my trades for artfest – magnets. oh i love these)
i’m ready for familiar faces and artmaking and shared meals with new friends. i’m ready for the northwest cold, the rain, and to wear my brown boots with tights. i’m so ready for time with my mom, with myself in the place i call home (portland), and for stillness inside the wonderful frenetic energy that is artfest. yep, totally ready. i’m especially ready for the many smiles and hugs and joyous reunions with my friends.

see you guys in a week. and thank you for bearing with my moodiness as of late. for so many reasons, including many many good ones, i’ve felt a bit tender lately. sometimes trying to live consciously and truly witness one’s life can feel muddy inside all the joy. and there is SO much joy.

Sending much love,

    I hope artfest goes wonderfully for all you artists that are out there. I am there with everyone in spirit…

    I was flipping through old issues of cloth paper scissors and stumbled across an article you wrote about blogging. I found some of the art there so inspiring i had to try my hand at that style myself :).

    Kelly,
    I ended up looking at your flikr photos and noticed a piece you uploaded in may, 2006 called hold on. It is so different from your current work (we do evolve)! I love it (and your new work). Is it still available in a print?
