I00 Ideas, No. 34: First Life, horizontal, day 1

Craftyard brought Keri Smith's 100 Ideas to my attention in a thread on Etsy. It is meant to boost our creativity and productivity for the next 100 days. I have joined, as it is just what I need to keep me in touch with my Art on a daily basis.

Today, I completed Idea 34: "Fill an entire page in your journal with small circles. Color them in." My journal is a short, 10 page sewn pamphlet that I put together. The instructions were pretty easy to follow. This 4 x 6 inch journal is light and easy to carry with me anywhere. Filling a page with circles was not as easy or quick as I had thought it would be. And I am also surprised that I never got bored doing all these circles! Instead, the process became very meditative. I colored the circles where I could see an image, but when I showed my Husband, he saw a different image. I liked the named he chose for it too.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
