This DVD arrived in the mail yesterday and I haven't had time to watch it yet but I know it is going to be delicious. Daniella is a friendly and inspiring woman who I first met at a conference in Boston. (come to think of it I met her before that when we were both exhibitors in the Bellevue Art Fair). She had been a textile artist for years and combines that now with encaustic. For anyone with a love of wax and textile this is a must see. Oh yeah, the heart is made of Sculpey. Thinking valentines already.
This reminds me of the juice cans we used to wear in our hair at night. She looks like she needs a few more hours of sleep. he he
Keep on keeping on. xo
Hello Judy
ReplyDeleteLove the journal page you've just posted, actually I love all your journal pages.
It's funny because you are doing more painting than writing, I'm doing the opposite! Either way, it's creative expression!
Me again, did you really used to wear juice cans in your hair at night? 2 funny...the things we do for beauty, eh?
ReplyDeletehave a great night.
I never did the juice cans, but the rollers with bristles aerated my noggin for many years. You are such a good one with faces and shading. I know if I practiced more I could do better but I've been in such a goofy funk for much too long now. Knitting seems to sooth me right now. That and holding grandbabies. I'll keep going on, though. Good for John to get a fence. He works so hard for his veggies!
ReplyDeleteit's always a joy getting a peak into your world dear judy. the encaustic book looks fascinating, your journal pages yummy.
ReplyDeletei just finished a painting today, felt so good! i worked in the studio yesterday for a tiny bit, the first time i'd done any art in two weeks, found myself there again today in my bliss.
missing you xox
I love your sleepless lady!! And I will check out the DVD, it looks really interesting. Thanks for the tip. Oh, and by the way, your blog is really inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteFaces are soft and luscious. They remind me of 40's movie star faces with all that powder...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a slideshow of your faces book when it is done.
Ginormous oj cans all my floormates in college wore to straighten their curly hair..thankful for shorter hair.
Always fun to come here and take a peek into your life. Always ga ga over your drawings/paintings/journal pages...
ReplyDeleteThankful for new ideas, treats, dvd/book suggestions...
Am sure the deer will manage...glad John has his fence!
I think juice cans didn't make it to Vallejo. LOL We did big rollers though and I can still feel how awful it was to try and sleep on them digging into my head. Life was one big awful hair day then. OY.
Loving your faces and your journal pages. Inspired by you, I started working in an art journal this month. I don't write every day, but I'm having fun.

-I love your work in your face book. Your Jan 23 face reminds me a lot of Katie K.-especially her chin and piercing eyes-although usually I see Katie smiling in my mind.
ReplyDeleteLove & hugs to you Judy,
Dawn

Maybe plant a bit of lettuce on the other side of the fence for the deer and bunnies to enjoy, that way all benefit.
ReplyDeletei like the face with paper glue on side
ReplyDeleteha I feel like her some mornings! I love the fading tree in your journal -did you use tissue paper?
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I feel like I struck gold when I connected the art work I LOVE with the name Judy Wise. Hurrah, I found you and you weren't even lost.
ReplyDeleteI live in Maine during the summer and fall and saw that you are teaching in New Hampshire. Where can I find out about the class?? Any help is appreciated.
Onward and upward,

i am crazy about your journal pages and style!! soooo lovely to visit your blog & all the amazing people you create with your colors and heart!!
ReplyDeleteHee Hee - if I could only look as good in the morning (juice cans or no). Love your sculptural heart - such gorgeous color.
ReplyDeleteI love your journal pages-so full of...well,everything. I will see you @ Squam :)
ReplyDeleteHave been admiring your journal pages. Glad John has his garden - and his fence. Did you know that, acc to a USA Today blurb a year or so ago, there are far more deer in the US now than when the Pilgrims landed? We've not made a dent in their population, and the killing off of all the larger cats, etc, has allowed the deer to flourish.
ReplyDeleteOMG! i forgot about juice cans! did we really??
ReplyDeletei've enjoyed viewing the birth and growth of this sweet "little" facebook. 4" square.
ReplyDeleterather than intregrating with new artwork, how 'bout a haiti auction? the whole book, or pages? i don't have the cash for the value of the 'whole book' nor the contribution it would bring for haiti, but i think i could bit for a two page display....

Soooo love your work! Stunning!!!
