Define: Your Art

Who am I according to the Cloud ?

I am in the midst of reviewing, reviving and reincarnating the way I project my art to the world.
Cyber - speaking.
Funny how hard it is to nail it down in tidy little keywords.
Funny how i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing! :)  I know what I am drawn to and what I feel. But labelling it? Whoa there horsey!
SO.....
If you please, I'd love to hear from YOU!

Here are some questions:

1. What strikes you most about my work?

2. Is there a name, title movement that you feel my work fits in? (e.g. folk, rustic, neo...etc...)

3. If you had to spout off 5 words to describe what you see here what would they be?

4. Make up a phrase!

Whoever comments will be entered into a random GIVEAWAY of a MILADY NECKLACE! winner may choose!
Drawing will be April 4th. So please...think it over !:) I value your thoughts.

Gift

Long overdue...and a big Thank You!

To Hi Happy Panda's Rachel, for taking the time to gush her gratitude for winning my Suprise Giveaway way back in November.  Rachel is one amazing photographer, mama documentary artist of life's adventures....you know, the kind of adventures peeking in windows, looking up in trees, exploring places and meeting people.  Her blog takes me travelling - just the way I like it, down the road less travelled.
She and her family are a delight and I am so happy she loves her prize.

BTW if you ever wonder where i've disappered to or would like to see wht makes milady tick...i am most likely feeding my soul on Pinterest
It is the greatest invention ever! I will never need a magazine again. Visual salvation. love it!

Drawing Challenge: Blanket



Handmade quilts by my grandmother's grandpeople.



restoration hardware - but you get the idea :)

 Blanket.
Makes me think of moms and babies,
Of grandmas and hand stitched gatherings
Of ladies around a big table,
Chatting and assembling
The scraps and memories of fabric worked to the bone.

We have alot of faux fuzzy lamby blankets around the house.
We buy them at the store.
But they are warm and cozy and make you look like a giant teddy bear
in soft browns and creams.

Good thing too because it is still freezing here. A fresh blanket of snow the last few days.Christmas like.
We live under piles of blankets to read a book, watch a movie, and I wrap one around my neck like a shawl like some old woman from a nursey rhyme as I walk from one end of the house to the other.

I didn't draw but let my great grand ladies speak for me with their beautiful stitches and floral remnants.
I am lucky to have what's left of them.

For more blankets visit the adorable quilt covered Greta for more!

Monogram : Drawing Challenge

Ink, i.d., initials

What's in a name?

I've been pondering a name change.

But I love my "smr" logo.

Lots of artists just use their name, so i just plucked out one of them.

Morgan.

So many of you have come to know me as "milady" - and that would never change.

But i need a cohesive i.d. Something that umbrellas all I do.

what do you think?

of

Morgan, ink.

?

besides, M's are the funnest to pen with ink.

I look forward to your thoughts on this matter!!!!!

Patrice A. is our hostess this week.See her Monogram flourish before your eyes!

Drawing Challenge: Butterfly

 Butterflies Flutterby


1. Once upon a time there lived a giant Butterly who was made of Golden Sun and Blue Sky.
2.There lived also a man who was happy most of the time which made him colorful.
3.The Giant Butterfly had 3 little children and their followed their mother everywhere.
4. One day, they flew by the man who was only feeling his blue color.  Their magic was so powerful their wings sucked all the color out of him.
5. The mother saw all the colors rising otwards her and was happy.
6. The man , however, was not.

 


7.The man became so mad that his color was stolen that dark clouds began to gather and droop all around him.
8. After a long while he gave up and fell down in hopelessness.
9. /10. At that moment when the man was most hopeless, his cry for help burst through the clouds.
11. The Giant Butterfly and her children's colors made the black cloud go away while following her flight back to the man below.


 And they all lived colorfully ever after!

 
Flying, winged, hope and magic...I never tire of these images! Today, Morgan and I made a cartoon while being lazy in bed. It's Sunday afterall! Perhaps Monday by now at Nadine's across the world from me. Be sure to visit her amazing shop while you flying over the land of Tiny Woolf!
 Oh well, I always say...better late than never!
