Art takes many forms

Happy Easter or Passover to each of my readers.

I was pondering what to post today and I decided that I would talk about the fact that art takes many different forms. I am primarily a painter, but I do other artistic things as well. My friend Judi from Alaska is primarily a doll/fiber artist, but she does a lot of other things, too. Most of us participate in a number of different activities, many of which could be classified as artistic endeavors.

This summer we renovated our kitchen/breakfast room. It took all summer and well into the fall. While we had help doing to actual work, I did all of the design. I also did the faux finish on the breakfast room walls. Today, I finally finished the curtains and the window seat cushion for the breakfast room portion of the space. I made Roman Shades. I have never made them before, but I found a book that provided clear and complete instructions. I found fabric at a Calico Corners Outlet Store in Delaware during the summer. I just needed to make the time to do the work. We have been having snow in western Pennsylvania since Thursday, so this was the perfect time. Between yesterday and today, I made the two Roman Shades and the cushion for the window seat. I am very pleased with the results. Windy likes it, too. She is on "kitty patrol" and watching for squirrels and chipmunks that come into her yard as well.
