So the question of the day is....'What do you drink when your creating?"

I tend to stick with diet coke or coffee. I get so wrapped up in what I am doing it gets cold or hot, before I know it. And, anything stronger and I may as well give up trying to get any work accomplished. What can I say? am a wimp :0).

This past week the weather has permitted e to get the garden started. Along with the standard vegetable fair I will be including items we artists can use for create purposes.






Yes, this i an image of the garden area. Initially I thought that 450 sq feet would be enough, but after dividing the area up on paper, I will need to add to it.

FYI after planting a few seeds, about 1/3 of the space, I am sore in areas that I forgot I had. (Back of hand on forehead) Oh how an artist must suffer for their work ;0)

A new Amulet Bag

Plants for the artist to grow.

I think PHP was designed by God to torture right-brained people lol. This past week has been feverishly spent producing our new ArtyWiki After looking at a large number of programs and possibilities I decided on TikiWiki to set up our new feature. The goal is to move all of our free lessons to the wiki so that others can easily share, comment and ask questions. For now there are just a few items set up as examples to get things moving.

The more I learn about Open Source Software the more I appreciate it. The following links are to a few of my favorites.

http://www.openoffice.org/ Free Open Source Software similar to Microsoft Office.
http://www.scribus.net/
http://amb.vi.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook

There is also the progam called GIMP that is supposed to be similar to Photoshop. But it is just not the same quality in my opinion.
--------
I must apologize also if this post sounds strictly like an advertisement. I did get a bit of creative work done the first of the week by creating a amulet bag, from the weaving of last week. Now that the basic wiki has been set up I will finish it in the coming days.
