Robin's Creative Space

 Wow! The last 10 days flew by with lots of painting, family visiting, and my banner was set hanging in downtown Placerville. First I painted a set of 4 smaller tumblers, 2 hurricane glasses and several jars for last weekend's Farmers Market. Next I needed to paint and ink a very well loved pair of Converse Chucks that belong to the sweetest 8 year old girl who asked me if I could paint them for her. I was really happy with how this pair came out. My son, daughter-in-law and my granddaughter came up to visit for a couple days and that was the highlight of the week/weekend! They all came out to the Farmer's Market also which was a happy surprise! We all went downtown and looked at the beautiful banners lining up Main Street in downtown Placerville. I was so excited to find mine! I will have more pictures of my banner hanging along with the other incredible banners by other local artists. So that is what has been keeping me busy.

 Last week was horrific. I am an empath and have been reeling from Buffalo, Uvalde and now the Tulsa tragedies. I got stuck in a mire of emotions which really impacted my ability to create or do much. I did find being outside and pulling the foxtail weeds helped a bit and got a much needed chore out of the way. Yesterday I felt like I could start painting and I finished a pair of white Converse Chucks that I washed with acrylic to a beautiful blue. I am really happy with how they came out. I now have an old pair of Chucks given to me by the 8 year old daughter of a Farmers Market vendor friend to paint. I think bringing this pair back to life for her will be healing for me. I do love a challenge! I figure if I could bring my old pink chucks back to life I can certainly bring these babies back! I had hired a person on Etsy to create my new logo. I really wanted a nice logo...and I hate it. I have hit my max of 3 revisions and I am stuck. What would you do? Hope you are taking care of yo
