Paintings for OKC Indian Clinic Fundraiser

I participated in making some paintings for the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic's annual fundraiser this year. It was great painting again, I don't get to do it as often as I like because of the kids running everywhere, lol. I created two pieces, they are both 10in x 10in and are acrylic on canvas.

The first one is called "Earth and Sky" and was made using the arabic paper folding technique I learned in a workshop a few years ago. I like how symmetrical it makes everything when you use it. The second painting is called "Cookie Cutter Creation" and is based off a creation story my grandmother used to tell me. She would tell me we as people were cooked in an oven like cookies and that is why we have different skin colors. Some are overdone, some underdone, and then some are perfect, lol. She was a funny lady.

Happy September! Long time no see.

So I have been a bit neglectful to my poor site. I feel bad, Twitter is just so much easier to use as far as updating goes I kind of forget I have a blog O_O. I have also been a bit busy. I beaded a new stethoscope and painted some journals, the journals are for sale in the Etsy store. You can see them in the little mini Etsy widget over on the left. I think that came out pretty good, they were also a lot of fun to do. I am going to try my hand at making journals from scratch now. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't poke a hole in my hand! I have some more projects I am working on. I am painting some more things and getting ready to make some doll patterns. I like making dolls and plushes, I sew them by hand. Not a big fan of using the sewing machine for things like that. I also am wanting to do some block printing. I just have this huge creative surge going on now so I am going to take full advantage of it! Here is a pic of the stethoscope:
I am still working on the Weebly site for portfolio purposes. I just want it to look a certain way and I want to pay for the domain. It will happen eventually, I am taking my time with it.

Weebly.com

Building a site there. Maybe I can link the blog area up to where it leads here, otherwise I am going to have to start over with the whole blog thing. Oh well, you have to do what you have to do. I like it though. I can have everything all in one spot. It does for me what Wordpress wouldn't. Needless to say I am a happy happy person. I don't think I will mind having to redo the blog, not that my blog is highly exciting in the first place. I think twittering is more fun because I just can not seem to get in the mood to say much. Not much of a blogger. If anything I think I would be a photo blogger being snarky about stuff because it requires minimal typing and more pictures. I am digressing but it happens. Anyway, new site should be up soon. Maybe in about a month once I get it all prettyfied and what not. I also will wait until I can pay for the domain, which is really cheap thank goodness. Then I can start advertising again. Oh the things you have to do to make money and be able to stay home with your kids!

Uh, NO

No new site, staying right here. As much as I like the way WordPress has all these neat gadgets, I hate how you can't customize your layout unless you buy the software off WordPress.org. So the free version is kind of stagnant. I will just make a portfolio site and link it up here and find a contact form I can use. I am going to pay for the domain service here so I can have it as luksicreations.com instead of having blogspot.com at the end of it. Look more professional to me. As you can see though, I have changed the layout here, at Zazzle, and on Twitter. It looks so much brighter and more me.
