Having another art get-together play day with my artist friends on the first Tuesday of March, we’re still working on block prints. Going to make something tasty as a brunch after all artists have to keep their strength up.
I do post some of my poetry on my word press blog… http://ninelivesstudio.wordpress.com
I committed to writing one-a-day Stream of Consciousness style poems. Writing helps clear out the whirling thoughts – not easy to de-clutter your mind.
Stay creative, Ellen
