since this journal &my site have been somewhat hacked, for now i will only be writing and posting art at my LiveJournal (where i have been writing for many years, but have also put the public and art-related posts on this site, too). i am trying to clean up and *may* continue here, but i may just simplify and stay in one place. in the 7 years i have been journal-ing and art-ing online, so much has changed. at first, i hand-coded everything - daily! then different systems were developed, wherein one could archive easily and have comments! oh! i have tried most everything and it seems it is all becoming more and more complicated, at times i have even kept multiple journals going. get a life, bobbi! so i may return to something very very simple. who knows!?

in the meantime, feel free to visit H E R E.

treinta y uno días afortunados. #01
my october project.
i will complete 31 4″x6″ collages using rejected photographs, asian paper ephemera (that the girls brought me from taiwan and i have been hoarding & some new stuff that traci gave me), tissue, glazes, varnish, hoarded buttons, a poetry chapbook and loteria cards. i will have to play catch up and work ahead a little, because i will go to texas this month. but that is OK - i don’t need to be too rigid. i know i will get them done. fun!
(my journal is all wacked out and i don’t know why! grrrrr!)

goldenDoor

my favorite image in forever.
i don’t know why only doors and crappy little garages appeal to me lately.

i give up!

they just seem … right.

anyway … onward.

adventure

it was lovely having a 3-day weekend. i have wandered, made pictures, played at the artTable, laundry, cleaned up & finished movingIN, acquired foodstuffs on my bike, read until my eyes broke, listened to the debate on iTunes, slept, almost strangled King Tubby, had my tinygirl become 20 years old (still not quite believing that part though) and longed for a NewLife. now i am cooking a pot of mexican beans and drinking a glass of red wine, still dreaming and longing, but i will go glue asian paper ephemera into a book until it is time for reading again. life is quiet and strange. i am calm but not happy but not *unhappy* either. i guess i just am. i guess that is fine.

for now.

the return of the Rebel ArtCard!
new Rebel Art Cards

i have been needing a project. so here is a little one. (i’m trying to think of something *daily* to do during October, still…)

a new friend asked last week if i ever made ATC’s. i spouted back that i made Rebel ArtCards! and told her about them. and decided that might be a good way to jumpstart my malingering creativity. it IS! two of my art goals for the next year are to use up the stuff i have - and to fill up the big canvasses, of which i am very intimidated. i have to take breaks and make little things. so … these again! i have been having fun!

ok, it’s my birthday. who wants to play with me?

of course, playing Rebel ArtCard, we have no rules. just send me your addy [cobaltika]ATgmail and i will send you one. be assured that it will not fit in a regulation “ATC sleeve” ha ha ha! you don’t have to reciprocate, but i will include an address of someone who would LOVE to receive a surprise and if you like, send to them! mysteries and surprises are fun! i have about 2 dozen. a few are spoken for, and if LOTS of people respond, why, i’ll just make another batch.

now i am going to buy some new shoes then play at my artTable ALL of the rest of the DAY!
