ticky tacky: work in progress
Hi.

Woops. I’ve been missing in action lately. MIA, ya know…for the cool kids.

I think I turned down my first show. WHY? well because I’ve had 3 different shows open up all within the same week. I can swing two…but three…totally pushing it. Mainly because I’m visiting the SE for 2 weeks in May. Which means I need to be prepared for everything really really soon. So I will be apart of two shows coming up in June. I’m going to have my first solo show at Stumptown! (Belmont location) Yippee!

I’m going to try and post all the details as soon as possible.

What have I been doing besides making myself reevaluate my focus on what I want my art to be/say/feel….um mostly getting over a crazy allergy ridden couple of weeks, mowing the stupid lawn, baking some breads, walking miles with new shoes(I’ve got the blisters to prove…ouchy), and getting back into my running schedule!

I’m afraid I won’t be doing much of anything except painting and/or cutting/glueing/sewing at every opportunity…until its time to get on that plane!

ok, so this was short…and a bit rushy… *mental note: Russian Sea Horse.

But I gotta run…literally. and I even have some new gum to chew while I do it. Yeah, I chew gum and run at the same time…keeps my mouth wet and I can blow bubbles at the stop lights. so?

Heart,
Valerie
