Today's Created By Hand Challenge is "colors blue and sand". Having just made a mermaid ATC yesterday and with the stamps still out on the worktable to be cleaned, an ocean theme was my first thought. However, today was the first day I turned my ceiling fan on after the furnace came on for the last time less than three days ago. Oh this Mojave Desert weather can be fickle. The title is a typical desert rat's response to people who ask "How can you stand to live there?" Stamps from Taylored Artwork (title), Stampin' Up (rocks), After Midnight (plants).

A funky gluebook-style novel that almost didn't make it past the 50 page mark, but then there was an interesting twist that's got me reading to the end. I bought it for the style, I'm reading it because the story gets interesting after those first few pages.Eric Maisel: The Van Gogh Blues: The Creative Person's Path Through Depression
I avoided this book for so long UNTIL I saw Eric Maisel at Artella as part of his virtual book tour. The book accomplished its goal and I'm working on a new research project. Something I haven't done in way too long.
Impressive ATC ! Good job !
