This is what I wore to a book signing and brilliant talk by Dr. Deepak Chopra author of some of my favorite books like : The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire or Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. It took place at the very interesting and intriguing Masonic Center in Madison, built in 1925.

I also wore this amazing sparkly hand knit headband made for me by Jacob Hawkins a.k.a. The Sweetie.

It was really an amazing talk and I feel like I gained a lot from it.
And on a side note, I must mention how fashionable Dr. Chopra was. He looked charming and so modern even wearing sparkly glasses!
As I mentioned on my last Art Day post I’ve been exploring the mixed media worlds as of lately.
I’ve glued a thing or two to my paintings/drawings before but this is the first time I’ve done it so deliberately.
A while ago I got some metallic paints and I’ve been loving the way they look on wood. Combined with the rhinestones + glitter + glossy finish, it looks like wall jewelry.
This is the result of my first try, which I finished at the end of January. I used part of a drawing that I found in one of my sketchbooks from years ago (yes, way before I had dreads. yes, I draw the future )
I love how this turned out. I wish the paper hadn’t gotten all wrinkly and bumpy after putting glossy sealer on top, I still have a lot of experimenting to do.
But I like the direction in which things are going
N. asked me why would I paint the back if no one was going to see it, and I said it was like asking “why add a lining to a skirt?”. I think it says a lot about me.
