MIDWEEK MAKINGS.


Ahh, yes. Who doesn't want a fresh new start? I made the collage above a few weeks ago in honor of Chinese New Year. We were just getting settled in to our new place here in Singapore and I didn't have much in the way of art supplies at the time, but needed to make something. Oh, hey stack of magazines from 22 hours worth of flying! Chop, chop, glue... and there you have it! Normally not much of a "collager", but this turned out to be really refreshing and just plain fun. Before committing to any particular arrangement I moved my bits and pieces around and snapped photos. This was both good and bad for my I-just-want-it-all, ever-indecisive self. But, alas, mountain range and ray of light won out.







My eating habits influencing my color choices. Little smiley moon photobombing my shots. Hi sleeping Stu!

Today seems like a good day to post something boasting a fresh new start... This morning, I took an online class taught by the very smart and pretty, Liz from Say Yes to Hoboken. What a cool way to connect! And it was just what I needed to get my rear in gear for a little site clean-up. It's still in progress, so please pardon the look as I continue to develop her! Interested in taking a class? You can register over at WorldFunction if you think you might want to get in on this whole "fresh new start" stuff, too.

And new friends from class, nice to meet you! Can't wait to check out everyone's blog!

  2. Hey Aly, I love your art, especially the one of poor Stu! That'll teach him to wear a t-shirt to bed. ;)

    1. Thank you, Amanda. So cool that you're in Denver. Say hi to Fancy Tiger for me. I made 2 skirts there last summer. Great place! And can't wait to get back to CO to see their new location. Is it awesome?

    1. Thank you, Ileana! Such a cool way to take class, huh? It was 3am here for the second class. I was sneaking around my dining room trying to be silent while listening to Nicole on headphones. Ha!

    1. Ha! Sorry to give you a case of wanderlust.

      Isn't it fun/kinda dangerous to have list of new blogs to check out?

      Glad to see you stopped by and enjoyed.

  6. Hi Aly, also stopping in from Alt to say hello. Aren't the classes great?

    Looking forward to hearing more about Singapore - I lived in southern Africa for two years and it was one of the best things that I ever did. Have always had the travel bug, whether it's short vacations or sabbaticals...
