BioI'm 45 years old, a mom of a elementary school age daughter, and employed full time. I did NaNoWriMo in 2004 and I drafted an historical fiction set in Louisiana during the Civil War. I live in Louisiana and have lived here all my life but for brief stints in Dallas and Albuquerque.
I want to do my art and live serenely in my sobriety. Therefore, I don't want to engage in any political controversies or kerfluffles. I don't enjoy political debate as I once did. That's probably because of 17 years in AA. I think we should live and let live and LET BELIEVE. I would not put down on you for your beliefs and I wouldn't like for you to put down on me because of mine. Whew, with that said, on to more pleasant things!!!!
This is from an LJ Interests MEME I answered:
altered books:
I'm a beginner at this, really. I am a mostly self-taught artist (took oil painting lessons many, many years ago) who prefers working in acrylics. I have been cutting out and saving striking images for years without quite knowing why. Then, one day I stumbled upon altered books , paper art and collages as something to actually do with all these things! Yay! Even though I am a beginner, as with any new interest that I have, I am going at it with manic abandon. I've also always written and kept journals. I never knew you were "allowed" to draw things in them, too until I found art journals on the web.
