V27 Calming Down: the Saturday after Christmas

After all the hurrying I did for Christmas Day I thought that I would just do some tidying up online a little before I started my Studio Work this Saturday.  I thought,  it would just take one second.  I would go to the proper file, and put the Pen and Ink Drawings onto my Wealthy Art sight. Unfortunately it took almost all day to find the files.  I remember doggedly going onto the computer late at night still nervous about some missing files.  So this prompted me into a frenzy of organizing my files, both paper and online that is still going on now (Tuesday).

I had the day all planned. First I would take down the little dog under the mistletoe which is very Christmassy and replace him with the "Ballerina and Time" (a collage done by myself). Then I just would, neat as a baby, go take my snowy scene from the dossiers downstairs, quickly change the muse into one that was better and put it on the wall.  To date neither are done but I have both images near me and I hope to do them by next Saturday.

I couldn't find a lot of stuff and this got into a serious mood. So I put on some Independant Living tapes so that I could spruce up on my social skills.

I did a little creative entertaining however.  I had some wine and cheese left over from Christmas night so I took a little while to set everything up attractively on my window ledge.  the wine was put near the outer window an hour before five o'clock to chill.  at the same time I took the Cheese out so that it could be served at room temperature.  The wine was a French one called L'Escale and the Cheese was a prizing winning Brie with a taste of Vanilla to add a little interest.  With that I paired Cranberry and Walnut Crackers and Walnuts in the shell.  I was lucky to find some Peruvian grapes on sale at the Supermarket.  They were enormous and very sweet.  They were perhaps a little too sweet to go with the cheese but they tasted great by themselves.  And the cheese went very well with the Cranberry and walnut crackers.  It was nice to have red wine.  I drink only on special occasions.

Because I did not get around to the actual creative work on Saturday I did some filming about Val Gal on Sunday.  I am going through the pictures of the Magic Space Exhibit right now.

Finally Sunday afternoon I went down to Complexe Desjardins to find a tablecloth for a  little birthday celebration we were holding the next day.  Because I was down there anyways I took a peak at Marie Claire to see if I could find some business clothes.  I have absolutely no luck in the thrift shops.  they never seem to have my size.  As luck would have it I found some nice clothes.

So, although I had not much time to do actually creative art work this past weekend, I did find an outlet for my creative energies in many other ways.  And I certainly got a lot of organizing done.

vg1. Introducing Val Gal by Kathy Fabian

September 9, 2015 In the romantic novels the artist goes way up to his tiny attic on the very top of his house to create and be free.  Sometimes it has a great view of Paris.  Or sometimes the person is a writer who creates great novels and ideas. They both seal themselves from the rest of the world to do great things.  Well why not imitate?   I live in a woman's residence in a very small room. When I first arrived I imagined it as a womb.  A creative womb in which I would heal and rest and create great art.  I would sit on the bed cross yoga position with hands on my legs and look out the window and the blue sky. I would imagine I meditated.   I would imagine I was one with the blue sky. Well years have gone by and I no longer think of the room as a womb.  It became a small and impoverished cell for a while and then my imagination took over again.  I thought of it much like that attic. So now it is my studio in which I develop and frame the photographs that I create.  I ha

V24. Sparkling for the Celebrations. New Vintage Jewelry

Superstitious?  What kind of rituals do you follow for good luck?  For myself, I like to take advantage of special times to see if I can reap good fortune.  For example, if I have something important to organize I am likely to do it on a Holiday or on Sunday. So planning this week's Studio work was a no brainer.  I had recently received a large amount of old jewelry from an estate. The choicer pieces had long gone and these were left.  They were supposed to be unsellable.  So I asked how they were organized. I said if you give almost them to me, I will organize them for you in the proper way.  But I was given them instead. The owner felt they were just cluttering up the house.  Luckily I have my jewelry collection. To get them they had to be quickly boxed and taken off the premises.  But once I brought them home, there was no time to organize them anymore because of the Holiday Preparations.  So this Saturday I took some time to clean the antique jewelery and to put them pro

v10 Happy Thanksgiving, Construction sites, Autumn Days and Muses. By Kathy Fabian

Get the exquisite image on this blog post.  Custom Made!   You Deserve the Luxury. And you support the Artist. Write  kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com   for inquiries.    The leaves are brightly colored outside.  And the days sunny. So I went into my archives to find some images with splendid autumn foliage.  Saturday I reserved for studio work .  I had been tidying up my collection of muses and had a few lovely ladies ready to star in my photographic extravaganzas.  The final element was the inclusion of the very expensive, very evident presence of construction in the neighborhood. I had a lot of autumn pictures but I wanted to showcase technology and machines.  As luck would have it we were having some road repair done right outside our house.  And voila I had the tree elements with very little trouble;  Construction sites, beautiful
