A Few Ways to Embody January Happenings:
How many different words can you make from the two words, "It's January" after a cup of coffee?

  1. yarn
  2. Saturn
  3. rats
  4. star
  5. run
  6. ran
  7. nary
  8. anus (*giggle)
  9. rust
  10. rasta
  11. tan
  12. turn
  13. tar

National Hobby Month: Take 1-5 minutes every day to think about or work on artwork if possible.

National Oatmeal Month - dress your oatmeal up with toasted almonds, dried cherries, and steamed milk (or maybe make cookies instead since it's also bakers month?)

Astrological Spell for January:
Look for someone smiling and imagine that their smile was in a deep way because of you.

Tides-
Ebbing: Body hate.
Flowing: Art skills
Vessel of Strength: Your body is beautiful and wonderful because you are soft and Jeff loves it and you.  Your art is good enough to post where people can see it.  If there are mess ups, it's ok.  Art is a messy endeavor and is not perfect.  Art is more about expression, than it is about being technically correct.

Gardening Info:
Flower: Carnation
Awe-manac Crop: Coffee

Transferring art....

I originally did this on poster board using a glue stick.  I made it standing in the foyer of The Mattress Factory Art Museum.  It's made from magazine pages.  I was supposed to be doing political commentary. Yeah, I failed that assignment, but the man who was handling the table said it was beautiful and took a photo anyhow.  When I got home, I peeled it off the poster board and glued it into my art journal.  I also added a quote to it.

"A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner." -unknown
