My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

More Photos from Art Unraveled

If the technology cooperates, I'll have more photos for you here and more videos at CreateMixedMedia.com. I say this because yesterday it took six--count 'em: SIX!--attempts to upload a video to YouTube. Now, if you've ever been to my YouTube videos over there, you may have noticed that there are kind of a lot. So it's not like I'm a novice at uploading videos. But I might as well have been, because it took me all morning long to get that one little video up. The good thing--if you can call it that--was that everyone else in the hotel is complaining about the internet service, so I'm not alone in having trouble. I'll hope it's easier today--check over there in a little bit. For now, though, here's a set of Art Unraveled photos. Sans captions--turns out the captions show up as html code when the blog posts export to Facebook.
 Checking in--the girl at the desk was such a sweetie--she loved my hair, my clothes, my jewelry. Just a delight.
 The EGE checking white balance in the elevator (this setting obviously wasn't it, but I loved the photo anyway).
The amazing and totally cool Don Madden (yeah, he's in the book, too; and, no, we don't purposely take photos of people who are going to be in the book: we take photos of people we like)
 Susan Lenart Kazmer--you see her a lot because she's photogenic and also fun--she's just easy to photograph. Plus I'm always trying to figure out how to snag that leather bag of hers--
 We crack up because~~well, Linda told me not to post the photo online, so I won't, but the hotel had printed and posted signs for the Meet the Artists event on Monday night, and some Former English Teacher took one look at them and cracked up completely. Instead of "Meet the Artists," they all said, 
"Meet the Artits." So imagine the photo that would have appeared here with Susan and me posing with one of the signs (I snagged one, of course) plastered across our chests. Great photo, but I can't show you.

 Susan and Daniel Essig.
 Linda's husband, Chuck, and Dale Wigley.
 Meet the Artists--The EGE loathes the lighting in the ballrooms--it's a mix of tungsten and something else, very pale and yellow, and the only way to get well-lighted photos is to use flash, but then they look fake. So please bear with the yellow-ness.
 I *think* this is from the Journal Fodder Junkie guys. All the teachers had samples out on tables for people to check out. Cool stuff.
 JFJ guys' stuff.
 Not sure--I think it's Pam Carricker's table.
 Diana Frey.

I think the girl at the desk loves you! Think of the permission you have given to her to have more color in her life just because you showed up being you. I'd like to see how colors seep into her life over the next couple of years..."Can I really purple my hair? Well, remember that one time that orange haired artist checked in..."
