korean traditional dress hanbok i never thought i would continue to make this but going through my scrap paper container keeps providing me with inspiration creating these helps me to relax and

mail collage cut and paste dress art sunday may 24 2020 surviving stay at home with art and connection i knew that i needed to find something to do that would keep me being focused and creative both of these things have at times been difficult making dress cards has helped me not only stay creative but also a way to connect with family and friends covid has been a reminder that i need to let people i know that i love and care about them so creating a card with a theme kimono dress inspired was a winner and has gone on for more than a month i made a rule to only use my paper scraps silly i know but it keeps the focus and uses what i have on hand not being able to go shopping has not been an issue for me a limited pallet and supplies is something i often embrace hope you are finding time

august 9 2019 100 pieces of art in 100 days jean burnett issued a challenge for the resident artist of clayspace ceramic arts center to create 100 pieces of art in 100 days i knew that doing 100 pieces out of clay would not happen so i decided to do little collages approximately 4 5 x 5 25 inches i am on a mission to use up what i own i am happy to report that i made more than 100 in the 100 days this also lead me to start making small journals and intention cards and it inspired a new quilt i have been asked to share the collages so hopefully i can share 5 or so a day here i am also hoping this gets me back in the habit of blogging even if no one reads it these sold when the group got together to share the reception of my artwork was a wonderful surprise these are now owned by

kept me up because i was so excited it began as a three ring binder of sermons from the 30s and 40s from the new york avenue presbyterian church in washington d c most of the sermons were given by dr peter marshall emigrated to the u s from scotland and was appointed as the u s senate chaplain but there is one from john d rockefeller jr i added other letters papers and a piece of cloth with the old rugged cross printed on it my family loves to keep keys do you the photograph is from 1916 and is of rachel knuth field she married my dad s legal guardian in 1955 she was 43 she was one of the kindest people i have ever met i still miss her even though she has been gone from my life for a long time i hope she would be pleased posted by karen s musgrave at 9 29 am no comments email this

peggy was someone i occasionally visited when i visited my grandparents in maryland as a kid she was my grandmother s youngest sister peggy s nickname was the queen because her entire life she managed to only do what she wanted she worked at the state department beginning in 1940 for 60 years never married never had kids and lived in a small apartment she never had much interest in me but i was interested in her she was not boring recently i learned that she had been in nursing school and quit one month before graduation no one knows why she quit i get the impression that this was something peggy did i did track down the hospital where she worked studied and it was at the time an insane asylum might make me quit too my mother was the executive of her estate and brought home boxes of things after her death my mother is now going through things and disposing of them i have become the keeper of her nurses aprons two her nursing hat and medical book as well as some photos this is a work in progress i already see changes i want to make the silk was dyed with avocado skins i dyed the hanky bit the other things were passed on to me the gloves were mine and wore them to church on sundays and so i continue to contemplate on why we keep the things that we do and what things will my children discover about me when i am gone i do know i ask a lot more questions of those i love
