Museum Pieces

Mother & Child

Family vacation in the summer of 2012 took us to the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum in Williamsburg, Virginia. It was awesome!
Too much to see, pennies to smash, cousins to keep up with, I only had time for a few photos. Most were of this wonderful artwork.

The sign says:

Junk Art Figure of Mother & Child

Created by renowned "junk" artist Leo Sewell of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Believe It or Not!, these people are made from common kitchen utensils, plumbing supplies, auto parts, toys and rubbish.

Spoiler: I believe it.

  

"Child" has a Fisher Price mom in his face

Show & Tell @ Work Day

Evidently it is. Happy Friday.

And The Beginning of 2008

My Goals for 2008
Creative:

• Continue to research and create things for selling on Etsy. If it comes slowly, there's a reason. Enjoy the trip.
  
• Work on Art Scout projects!
  
• Really start the 'retro craft project'! A little at a time is fine.
  
• Keep exploring, looking for inspiration, trying new things, and write about it. Don't be afraid to make mistakes!

Bloggerific:

• Be a better blogger, so I can has cookie! IE: Blog more often, with more photos! And stop writing blog posts in my head, and forget to actually post them!!
  
• Show appreciation for the podcasts I listen to and blogs I read by leaving comments!
  
• Continue to improve my sidebar, my 'about me' pages, and other little projects that will make my blog more fun to read.

Personal:

• Work on first step of going back to vegetarianism: Reduce red meat intake.
  
• Move my body more, maybe belly dancing?
  
• Be more social!
