View from the Attic: starving artists?
http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2015/02/starving-artists.html
View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Sunday, February 8. I just watched a wonderful documentary about poverty in America called "American Winter" It made me think about people's perception of the struggling class and brought me to tears a couple of times. And it made me think of artists. So, don't ever say to someone (as the man said to his son, inspiring the creation this very blog) "look at these lucky people, they don't have to work for a living". We...

View from the Attic: remembering zero
http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2015/02/remembering-zero.html
View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Monday, February 16. I wonder about the people who lived here in 1887. How did they heat the place? Where did they cook and how. I think the bathroom attached to our bedroom was a bedroom once because it looks like the hall closet used to be a hallway leading to it. And I doubt old houses had en suite bathrooms. I want to remember zero. Enjoy our TV show and stay hunkered down until the cold passes. Ive been enjoying...

View from the Attic: braving the iceberg
http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2015/02/braving-iceberg.html
View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Friday, February 20. OK, maybe not an iceberg, but I really have to organize my studio so I can actually, you know, make stuff! As crazy as it may feel today, the season starts in about 8 weeks. I have ideas for new work, but I need to get going on it before the muse gives up on me and moves on. I have spent as much money on boxes and bins and jars and accordion files as on art supplies. Or so it seems. And yet, ...On th...

View from the Attic: I hate this but I am going to do it anyway
http://viewfromtheattic.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-hate-this-but-i-am-going-to-do-it.html
View from the Attic. Under the eaves with paper, glue and paint. Visit the web site. Wednesday, January 1. I hate this but I am going to do it anyway. Assessing the year about to pass. I hate it. I think I hate it mostly because of the endless parade, on TV and in print, of people who died this year. And the resolutions. Ack! The endless resolutions to be thinner, richer, kinder, smarter come the new year. All of this makes me a bit uneasy. Which is good, I think. Better to live on the edge than ...The d...

Yummy Cookie Recipes: December 2010
http://yummycookierecipes.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Blogging my way through Grandma's cookie recipes. Friday, December 24, 2010. I added butter and vanilla extract to the icing so I could pipe on the designs using a Roscan cookie press with assorted icing tips. 2-3/4 cups sifted flour. 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed. 3/4 cup dark molasses. 1 egg, beaten. 1 tsp hot water. Roll out on lightly floured board to 1/4-inch thickness and cut with cooky cutters. Place on greased cooky sheet. 1-1/2 cups crushed pineapple, lightly drained. 3 Tbsp apricot jam.

Yummy Cookie Recipes: Pineapple Scotch Bars
http://yummycookierecipes.blogspot.com/2010/12/pineapple-scotch-bars.html
Blogging my way through Grandma's cookie recipes. Friday, December 24, 2010. Another interesting recipe from the Chicago papers of the 1950's or 1960's. 1-1/2 cups crushed pineapple, lightly drained. 3 Tbsp apricot jam. 1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour. 1-1/2 cups uncooked rolled oats. 1 cup brown sugar, packed. 3/4 cup shortening (again, I always use butter in cookie recipes). Sift together flour, soda and salt. Mix with oats and brown sugar. Work in shortening until mixture is crumbly.

Glassy Lady: Finishing the Cabinet

When the flush of a new-born sun fell first on Eden's green and gold,. Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould;. And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,. Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, "It's pretty, but is it Art? From THE CONUNDRUM OF THE WORKSHOPS.
