Stories and Art

The "Full Moon" piece below is now up in the store! I've been busy creating, creating, creating. I've got more art to share soon, I'm working on a line of greeting cards, and I'm working on designing a new business card. If you have suggestions for cards that you'd like to see, feel free to email me or leave a comment on this post! Busy, busy, busy!

When I'm working away on art or on the website, I like to have some noise in the background. I have a great music collection (everything from Yo-Yo Ma to Amy Winehouse), but I'm so thrilled with the great (and free!!!) podcasts out there. I think I really enjoy the stories. I like to tell stories in my art and I love to hear a good story. My fiance loves sports. He loves to read about them and watch them. I've found that I only get interested in watching if I know something about the players. I like to hear about their history, their struggles, their personalities. And then I can get into a game. Here are some of the podcasts I'm listening to:

• new find: Craft Sanity, interviews with artists, crafters, etc...
• Hip Tranquil Chick: about yoga and creativity
• Craftcast: More interviews with crafting artists
• Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me: NPR's fabulously funny current events show
• This American Life: Another NPR show with great stories

You can subscribe to these podcasts and listen to then on your computer through iTunes. To subscribe, simply go to iTunes, go to the podcast section and search for these podcasts or just google them. Enjoy and try to stay cool in this summer heat!
