Another Artshow!

Well, this weekend is another artshow.............the holiday one. I have a couple of "pre-buyers" and I am taking that as a good omen for the rest of the show. This time I have some of my new PMC pendants and necklaces. It will be interesting to see how they are received. I believe well, since one has already sold!
This is also the show that for any buyers from Charles Wright Academy I am donating 10% of their purchases to the Charles Wright Academy Senior class of 2008 for their Senior party!
I'll let you know how it goes!

Success!

Things are very exciting around here! Almost overwhelming! I took 4 jewelry classes............I have never taken a jewelry class in my life! I learned so much and have so many new things to do. Work has been very busy........making LOTS of signs! And I answered an ad asking for someone that can paint the human figure. I ended up getting the job and have signed a contract! I knew that starting at the beginning of this year that life would be good and it will continue to be greater and greater by the day!
Envision your world the way you want it!

Opportunities

Well, life is full of opportunities if you look for them! My artshow went great considering I virtually did no advertising for it! That is a good feeling. I answered an ad for a high end health club needing an artist that can paint figures, I have a meeting with them on Monday! I love painting the human form so I'm very excited about this opportunity! Wish me well!

Artshow crunch time

Well, I have my show this coming weekend! Crunch time for sure. The weather is beautiful so that will help to channel energy! Some new paintings I've done I posted today. Outside of "the box" for me, but that's how you grow. Lots of work to do........until next time.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's day to all of you mothers out there. I've had several calls today from some very special people in my life, past and present. Makes a heart feel the need to create. So, that's what I shall go do now!

Today I finished a charcoal! And the owner of Good Karma came and picked jewelry for her shop and she picked about 90 pieces! YEAH! I can feel the abundance adn prosperity rolling in! Go to www.creativeforcesbycarolyn.com to see more of my work.

today's works

Today I was sitting and waiting for my daughter in the parking lot. I started a charcoal drawing. It felt really good. I'm trying to work up to a piece a day. I have a ways to go, but they want and effort is there. I created several pieces of jewelry that were ordered today. Each one-of-a-kind, just requiring the person to tell me about the recipient. They turned out beautifully.

Tuesday

Well, I woke up this morning thinking it was Wednesday. So I have an extra day. I bought new canvases the other day, so with luck I will be able to paint something. Must get the regular work out of the way first.

Today WWAO asked "What Does Art Mean to You?" This was my answer:
To me art is what I "am". Creating art is literally all I ever wantedto do, even as a small child. There were always other avenues I hadto take in the "real world" in order to pay bills, etc. but I wasalways an artist and always created........and now I am an artist! Art always gave me the outlet to express myself, regardless of what Iwas thinking or feeling. And to look at others' art is such aninspiration. To appreciate art is something that everyone in theworld should learn. It is as important as appreciating a sunrise orseeing your new baby in the moonlight. Art is another sense. It is"air". Art is a smile when things seem so gloomy. Art can transportyou to another place and let you realize new

back from vacation

WOW! This week has been a whirlwind! Came back from Maui with more work than I ever anticipated! My jewelry is going like wildfire! I have custom gift basket orders like crazy. I'm so excited. This is the beginning of what I envisioned for myself.

My name is Carolyn Osborne and I have been creating art since about the age of 2 on my mom's white walls with a pink crayon! I love to create. I am a single mom working in Fircrest, WA. Every piece of work that I do, whether it be charcoal, watercolor, glass fusing, one-of-a-kind jewelry, handpainted glass, custom gift baskets is born at the time it is being created. I get inspiration from my environment, a person, a memory, a color or in the night in my dreams. I wanted to be an artist my entire life..............AND I AM! You can view more of my work at www.creativeforcesbycarolyn.com I welcome the opportunity to sell my work and would be happy to talk to you about custom work.
