Some days I'm a million different places at once...

Or at least my brain is. This is definitely one of those days.

There are probably 20 different ideas for paintings/drawings/creations that I want to somehow find the way to create all at once, or prior to 6:30 tonight. I have to find a way to concentrate on one idea at a time and get something done.

I haven't updated this blog (I hate that word, it sounds like *slog*) in quite a while, but that'll be changing soon. I've been keeping busy with custom orders, creating bazillions of tiny boobs and painting and selling via etsy. Just last weekend I even got a new (17 year old) car, so I'll be able to attend lots of upcoming craft and art fairs *beyond* walking distance this year! Of course, I have to learn to *drive* a manual first, but I'll figure it out.

Yo.

My name is Ashleigh and I'm a be-dreaded creature of approximately 24 years. I make things. I paint. I (hula) hoop.



I like to tear things down and build them up again. These "things" consist of my environment, my personality, my beliefs, my body, my interests... and lately, my art.

I think that's a good explanation for what I've been doing. I'm learning the basics of creating art again, ditching all that held me back since childhood. It's hard to out grow the fear of a certain style or daring attempt to attack an idea too big for the brush...

the basics:

color
form
composition/juxtaposition
intent
the journey
fun - enjoyment

I'm currently trying to survive off the sale of these works over at http://tangerined.etsy.com
