I know not all my readers are fond of rock music,
but
I am a product of the age of rock and roll...
born in the early 1960s,
teenager in the 70s,
college kid in the early 80s.
Mr. U is a heavy (heavy!) metal guy, Nature Boy loves old rock too,
and Teenager with lots of stuff likes that nasty rap/hip hop stuff
so I have heard a lot of music in my time on earth.
As I thought about all the forms of art that I still want to try,
somehow, this song started playing in my head...

Yes, friends....
I want it all!!!!
In the past couple of years,
I have really spread out my wings
from my early days of sewing clothes and quilting.
I have dabbled in a few new art forms including...
hand dyeing
fabric painting
image transfer
rubber stamp making
art journaling
But I have a list in my head...
a list of sooooo many forms of expression, of art,
that I still want to learn....
Yes, friends....
the more I see... the more I want to do!!!!
the more I see... the more I want to do!!!!
I want it all!!!!!
My preliminary list:
*screen printing
*calligraphy, funky hand lettering
*gelatin printing
*fabric art journaling
*fabric designing
*watercolor painting
(and maybe someone to clean my house?)
Is that too much to ask?!!!!

ReplyDeleteI love them all! And so glad to see we are of the same vintage!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff you're doing!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I miss Freddie Mercury. And what about Rush? Foreigner? Kansas? The Doobie Brothers? Journey? Boston? The Cars? The Tubes? Steve Miller Band?
Excuse me while I pack for a nostalgia trip...
I find your blog really inspiring. I know exactly what you mean with your latest entry. I also want to try it all. In touring art colleges with my daughter this Spring I saw young people printing designs they generated on a computer with a tablet onto plain fabric with a special fabric printer. It's amazing how technology can advance art.
ReplyDeleteI a rocker and I also want it all! Now I don't have to make a list of all the artsy fartsy items I want to try - you made the list for me!
ReplyDeleteTotally understood! If it's out there I want to try it. I rusted fabric this past week!
ReplyDeleteFun post! You may want it all and you certainly seem to be doing it all - so much energy and lots of great creations! You go girl!
