I use Neurographica to work through challenges when there's too many things in my head 🥴💫

Working on marks for my Clay Play & trying to adjust to life in a sling

Get ready for a wild clay adventure! I'm preparing the clay I harvested over a year ago, grinding it into a dry powder, and can't wait to see what happens when I mix in different additives and mix-ins. The possibilities are endless, and I'm excited to see where this part of my journey takes me!

Getting back into the swing of things; beginning with prepping my "Harvest Clay" I've got an idea 💡🤔 Get ready for a wild clay adventure! I'm preparing the clay I harvested over a year ago, grinding it into a dry powder, and can't wait to see what happens wh...

"Hello girl..."
"Haven't seen/heard from you lately..."
"Check'n to see how you are doing..."
"How ya feel'n"
"OH. Still?"
"...you're not any better?"

These are questions frequently posed by our peeps. The tough hard-to-answer ones. The ones you mostly try to gloss over, to shift the focus, provide a simple, non-lengthy quip to acknowledge the pleasantry 'n' guide the focus away from our constant reality. 🥹

Well, to really ...really, really... answer the question:

At the moment I'm just peeking out from a 6hr nap and laying here resting my body. I made a successful trip down the hallway to the powder room and now I'm drifting while watching my creative stuff vids I like to give love and support to.

Ugghhh 😩, every main part of my body is stiff, sore & feels like weights have been strapped to each extremity AND my head, while trying to navigate through quicksand. It's painful to even open my eyes. This is what happens when I am able to get up one day and actually feel like I want to "do" something. You know, when you feel it in your soul that you must create or you're gonna snap off.

The last couple (2) days I've been creeping around here, when able, trying to get some plaster to be nice. I'm wanting to put together my own microwave kiln, make it myself with the things I have been accumulating about.

[ * Insert attached photo here * ]
( In my recliner trying to shave down the plaster cast into correct shape needed to make the carbon carbide ring part.)

P.oP. - Plaster of Paris ...Haha yeah...

Well, that was NOTHING compared to what happened THE LAST time I was up!😨😵‍💫, 🧐, 🤣
(There's an activity pattern here. Right now I'm averaging 2'n'2, 2 days of trying to do things, like to create or take a shower, and then 1.5-2 days recovering)

So, four days prior to this, when I first started with this idea 💡 I pieced together a mould that should work (sorta did-ish) and then, I mixed up the P.oP. ... in the kitchen.
Now, I'm just say'n, I have not really worked with P.oP. much before --- and so THAT was an adventure in itself 😂
I wound up mixing WAAAY too much, BUT ...

I learned some things:

The concept of expansion,
Working time,
Air movement.

The importance of being prepared for the unexpected... PRICELESS

lmao 🤣.

OH - CREATOR TIP:

When working with P.oP.: it's best to allow the mess a couple days to fully dry; it's surprisingly much easier for the clean up 😉👉🏼.

*** I'm gonna try to rest some more now...

Much Love and Colorful Creating

Hey, grab your hot glue gun, I said.
Make some fun texture presses for my Clay Play, I said.
Let's do it on this tile, I said.

DOH🤦🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

NOT GONNA COME OFF SO EASILY 😭🤷🏼‍♀️

LOLOL 😂😆

I made a tablet holder for Steve and a cell phone holder for me 😊

My most recent neurographic piece. It was very calming to create and interesting to watch the watercolor mingle 👀

True words... it's exhausting 🥴

So I did a thing... not completely done yet just needs to dry and be fired 🔥

S-5 first bowl from pinching a lump of clay #diypottery #claydiy #mswarriors #chronicpain

Ok, so it's been a long time coming, but here it is, new hair style and color! AND I hope to have a new smile before next year ......if all goes according to the dentist's plan🙏🤞

I'm so close to DONE with this crap!! I've been sick and tired for too long 😞... I'm just a fraction of who I was before I got sick... I just want a little bit of that back... I don't think I'm not asking for too much

Umhum

Close enough 😂😂

Hmmm 🤔😏

S-3: Creative ideas are flowing! Share the ideas it gives you! #clay #mswarrior #art #diy #pottery

Thanks everyone 🙏☺️💗

This was unexpected... and I am grateful 🥹

So lately, my 13 year old son had been acting a little... entitled. Acting like he's too good to shop at Wal-Mart or making snarky comments about kids at school who shop at the goodwill and quite a few other things. I don't tolerate that.
Today, he took his own 20.00 to the goodwill to buy clothes to wear the entire week to school. Whatever he found is what he would have to wear. He isn't happy and shed a few tears but I firmly believe in 15 years he will look back and laugh at the day his Mom made him shop at goodwill.
I want to teach my kids that money isn't everything and if you have to degrade other people because of where they shop, then you too will shop there. Side note, I love the goodwill!! ❤️
