All Who Wander

I've been out and about lately, scavenging the countryside for treasure. This is what I found!

Aka and the Daffodils

Today was gloriously sunny and warm (in the 70's). YAAAAAAY! It was also full of hiking, friends, and art; all in all a good day!

Top 5

My goal for this evening is to have an Etsy account by the end of it. As I actively sought out things to do that would allow me to avoid getting into the detailed work of setting the account up, I realized how good I am at procrastinating. I could be considered an expert by now, actually! Hit me up if you need some pointers. In the meantime, I've compiled a list of (this evenings) top procrastination choices; take the liberty to switch it up to suit your tastes, these are just suggested starting points:
1) Making Things to Eat
2) Eating Them
3) Surfing Perez Hilton
4) Playing/ Snuggling with Dogs/ Cats
5) FACEBOOK
So, take these ideas and mold them into ones you can use on your very own journey in accomplishing absolutely nothing. Good Luck!

*Despite intense procrastination, I am now the proud owner of my own Etsy shop! It is but a babe, not ready to be released into the world but keep your eyeballs peeled (?eww) for it's glorious debut!!!!

Opening Preview

This afternoon DPC hosted the opening preview for the annual D.I.G. (Dialogue:an Interaction for Growth) show. It marks the time which Lent is traditionally observed during, and the shows theme is "Embodiment". The theme has been interpreted by 30 artists, each in a distinct way. The grand opening for the show will be held March 7th from 6-9 :00 in conjunction with the First Saturday Art Gallery "Art Crawl" in downtown Nashville. If you're a first time "art crawler" click here for my suggestions. At the grand opening there will be a pot luck dinner, to which all are welcome, and the purchase prize will be announced at 7:00. Here is a little sampling of what awaits:
Julie Lee's triptych

Elizabeth Streight's mobile

Stained glass

Mixed media

Richard and Phillip Feaster's collaboration

Andee Rudloff's paintings on wood panels

The first wall of work, and possibly the most vibrant, too


This magical Dr. Seuss-ian cake will be gone by the time you get there Saturday, but come on anyway! Oh, and the D.I.G. show reaches beyond just visual art. Check out the poster (at the top of this post) for the film series and spoken word event!
