I love working with photographs I take, but lately I haven't been doing  much since my printer isn't communicating with the scanner which isn't communicating with the computer.  And, unfortunately I took the scanner apart thinking **I** could just mess around and fix it.  So basically  I don't have a scanner any more and the printer isn't doing it's thing either.  Sigh

SO, 

Here are a few photos I took this fall that I need to do something with, thought you might appreciate them:

                         

                         

  

 There are more but I'll spare you-  I am thinking I may use them for some encaustic paintings- they seem to have that sorta feel.  I found these moldy mildewed walls inside a small enclosure with some sort of pump.  It was instant love and I really need to return to see how the walls have changed.  Tomorrow.      

And today I picked up my 4 big quilts from our local art show-  they left them up for a few extra days because of all the functions going on but the facility is being torn down right after the first of the year so they are getting everything out now to clear the place for the wrecking ball.  I did have a lot of interest- two people interested in seeing more stuff, and two that are interested in buying.  I am hoping they do, but don't really care about sales of the two they are interested in.   These are the contenders, I know you've seen them before:
  

       

Like I've said before, everything is autobiographical and these were made withinthe last few years other than 'Dead Ladies Doilies' which was made for the Ruth Funk Textile Museum show for SAQA answering the question of why we like Florida.  It sorta stood out amongst all the palm-tree-sillouette-over-sunset-on-beach pieces (not that I'm being critical of course).

Much to do today to get ready for the quick trip north WITH the fur child.  The fur-child is on the edge of being sent back for his bad habits.  We are in an obedience/socialization class where all the puppies are the same age but all are twice his size and larger breeds.  Ollie dominates, and it's just embarrassing.  He is so distracted he can't try any of the exercises, and spins himself out of control just like a kid with too much sugar. Until he starts biting us.  We are taking this little mosquito on the plane with us, soon to be JetBlues customer that cannot get a reservation-  on their BLUE list I'm sure.  People behind us will be throwing their Blue Chips bags and tiny cranberry juice cans at us.  Here is the vicious undisciplined, out of control culprit,   OLLIE WOOD:

Keep your kids inside

And off I go to pack his kibble.
