Hello city life..

Just returned home from working on a mural at The Pumpkin Works in Paris,IL for the majority of last week. It is about 3 hours away so i stayed there and must say,it was fun to be working on just one project that was my only focus - on a normal day I have multiple projects going on at once which can often lead to slight delirium at times... Anywho, the muraling is in a black light room that is part of a maze - people will actually be sliding into this room - how cool is that??!!??. It was interesting to work with the black light paint and a true lesson was learned because as much as i fiddled with it, black light paint only does what it wants to!! One is limited with color options and because the space was so large, all the fun detail i love just got lost.  I kept reminding myself to just "go with it" and you know what?.. a super cool space was created and is almost complete! (When all is done and i get over my fear of climbing super high scaffolding, I'll show you a little peak.) This project was just another reminder to me that all does work out with a little patience and perseverance.

The Pumpkin Works is located on a farm and it made me smile to be greeted each morning by a horse, a few goats, super lovey dog, and numerous cats as i walked up to the work site each morning. A big thank you to the Staley's for their great hospitality!!

Now I am back home (i guess with two cats and a dog one could say we have a mini-farm of our own...mmm - not really) and jumping back into the swing of things - purple and orange magic wands will be added to the etsy shop early this week!

P.S. - the cute birdie canvas above is available here :)
