How it works in this life I believe..    be nice & Give what you can if you don't have money use your gifts to make people smile.  I can tell you it WORKS.. I am smiling  today. 

I painted a little 'custom coffee' sleeve the other day- I am so excited for her to see it - the though of her and her expression make me smile...  sure enough because i gave with TLC (as I do with all I paint)  a package arrived (Storm and I jumping in the kitchen!! -lol) - the same day - American thanksgiving and it is from an American friend - Stephen Boehme!! Glass artist supreme - and I started laughing!  I follow Stephen on PIN - he follows me and helps me! I know- every now and then he 'pins an octopus, bee or even something I'm working on- he an I, have the same eye, and it is enjoyable and inspiring to share with a fellow artist.
I made Stephen a Daurma doll egg- when I noticed he was 'pinning them' and sent it last Easter, I also made many for friends - NOW- I have my very own Glass buddy  -
EYES wide open- reminding me to achieve my goals and keep going! You know it! 
And RED for Luck & Good fortune!  ;)  I make my own luck, from now on! We all do.
Bring it on! I'm going to keep him on my desk.. and have name for him already - hee hee
 it a secret between me and my Daruma Doll

Inspired by love you can not fail.
I am grateful for my friends- I've never met Stephen- he's been warned he's in for a HUG supreme-when we do meet! lol - His wife is also aware! Haha!  To live in this time and make friends over the internet- is incredible. I've blogged about Stephen before - if you are a collector of glass art - you will thank me.   I do feel very "?' special? lol not in that way- a bit emotional, really that Stephen took the time to make this and sent it to me.  
I feel honoured - as an artist and friend and it does the heart good.
Thank you.

I am going to do the same in 2017 - a year to give.
I've been painting every day- I have so many little pieces- I don't know what to do with.. Im giving some away! yes, to those who have been faithfully following Georgia Toons on FB  for years. Why not.. so if I 'message you' asking for your address  you might want to provide it. 
GIVE  your talent,  your time...  you friendship.  

Love makes the world Go round. 

Have Faith!

FaceBook notices - when will I learn- shut them off!  Lead me not into temptation, an e mail notice arrived --  it's David Kaminski's Birthday!  My other 'Favorite Glass Guy!'  I won't log into FB but I will blog about David! It's time & it's his Birthday! 
Here I go... I Love David! lol - I do and he knows it! I tell him monthly at least - lol in e-mail and FB messages. 

When did I meet David? It was before the first EXPO and it was at an event, put on by a new Cannabis awareness event/club.  Instantly - I liked David!  His smile! His enthusiasm for life an his Faith in God & in Cannabis was obvious all around!   I had a little table set up and  we talked about Storm and Cannabis.  Our photo below - we have both 'grown' quite a bit in 5 years I think.  I next met David again at the first TY EXPO we shared! He was there with his glass & so it began. My introduction into the glass world!
*Remember at the TY medical Cannabis EXPO - I had no time to socialize - let alone go around looking and learning about  glass, it was where I was (thankfully) introduced to a world on new art and artists! I'm pleased to thank God for putting David on a path that has taken me where I had no concept... as I sit here and touch (close to my heart, mentally & physically) my Laughing Buddha pendant,  Jerry Kelly created.  I alter that with my Zen Kitty pendant by Stephen Boehme! - Which is  guarded by my 'mighty hippo' when not wearing.  Storm pointed out " you have the coolest jewelry of anyone I know!"  Me too! I agree.  LOL  That and my promise of Love from Norm ;) I always wear. hee hee hee
Wow! Close to my <3 and I have David to thank - he introduced & arranged for Jerry and Stephen & I to work together. This is why David still does not have an original. lol
It has to be special.  It has to be one that says this is for David. * ALSO - it is the only time some said 'hold a piece of art work'  and someone else really begged/bugged me - and I let it go. That was David! I still feel bad about it ( I will make it up to him)- clearly he forgave me it was long before all of this. That is David.  < He WILL forgive you and he will mean it! & you will know he does.

David is a millie glass artist as well! lol - Im so impressed with David the person  I almost forget about David the artist ;) UNTIL I see what he is doing- some he won't show me!! I want to know what happened to the puppet- do you think he will answer my e mail? I'm smiling.  

From what I gather his speciality is black and white- it has a clean crisp signature- again  I'm amazed at he level of talent to be able to create in glass, many have difficulty with on paper!  I recently drew him a few little ideas - I hope he makes them, they made us giggle. He made a 'Wilma' that Fred would go bonkers over! Me too - lol.  What stands out about David in my mind above his glass is his love for others and positive attitude and never ending  display of compassion and patience for others- lol - just watch his FB page. He puts it to the test all the time and I love it!  
Oh! He also - I recently discovered (God has a way of showing me things when I NEED to see them) ha quite the talent for writing as I discovered in some back issues of a glass magazine - I'm only now getting around to reading!  A man of many talents.
He inspires me to be a better person.

Storm and I have quite a on going joke at the moment and he teases me- David said he sent something - well I've learned these glass guys - are like... me -  LOL! We ask - 'whats your address?' and then - WAIT...It's not intentional it is a fact and I understand it. We are creative, busy and doing 'it' all. David had a contest a while back - I did not get my mille slice :( - I didn't blame David - it was not  the first item I have no received- I blogged about it before - I'm having trouble with the postal service. Stuff is going missing! We were discussing it as a family last night.  What do you do?  I replaced the lock!? Who do you call?
*Say Ghost busters and I might poke you  in the eye!  Blame? Ask? Lost in transit? 
& Health Canada wants us to get our medicine like this? 
So, David said he mailed something, I remind Storm to check the mail and he said - "I don't know about David..." (with a smirk on his face) -Storm agrees with me... David is one of the nicest people we know.  BTW - he really did just check - no mail! good! I just want to wish David Happy Birthday! I am so happy he is is my life. He makes me smile. 
He is also a Jesus Fan. <>< !   Or should I say...  Yes! Yeshua !  Hee hee hee - couldn't resist. ;) 
Have a peek at some of Davids work below. Did you read the blog, about the time I lost the glass slice he gave me -TWICE!? - LOL - So Forgiving!

Yesterday, I decided to spend the day with clay! I could not stand it any longer,  
Storm bought me clay for Christmas and I was determined to use it. I set up my room the day before. The problem has been my fingers on my hand have been swollen from arthritis, I decided - forget it - who is in charge here ? LOL
I mentioned before, Stephen is on p.i.n and he creates in clay!  It was one of my first passions  in high school!  Then, I also had access to a kiln and a wonderful art teachers Mrs. Obrien & Mrs. Shaker.  I've played with 'fimo' but there is something special about Clay, the feel of it on your hands, even as it dries is  'healing', for me anyhow.  
I added a bowl of cool water and my hands went in for a dip when ever I had the urge, it felt terrific! 
Music, clay... the girls by my side, I was able to slip into 'creative meditation' where I focus on good thoughts - most of them just happen to be about God!  And GOOD!  

Suddenly  Laughing Buddha started to appear and it made me smile - not even being aware.
I did not draw it out before hand specifically because I wanted 'to play', I did not want to set any expectations up for me or the clay. 
I medicated, only a few times, only  when I would  become aware of the physical pain  from time to time. I don't always thing Cannabis can heal my pain, but it certainly helps my mental pain.
Just as I was finishing  the last detail of the lotus flower, Storm came home and he had mail! A Box from Stephen G. Boehme., Storm had to open it as my hands were covered in clay and the instant I saw my pendant I teared up.  
I knew Stephen was making me something, he told me a while back he was making me a zenkitty pendant.  But to see it... Hold it... 
Here is was in my hand and I felt 'loved'  Storm just said  "wow, mom."  It is so beautiful. 

I sat thinking about Stepehen - sending loving vibes out as I created in clay... and they were returned. <3 

This is how it works.   Life. 


LB is getting painted today!!! 

I daydream about other men all the time.
LOL - BUT not what most of you are thinking! 
I do - ask Norm! 
He loves it! Why?  Because he is the benefactor of all my lovin thoughts.

I do! I dream about spending my time with a few of my guy friends! I am attracted to them! NOT ‘them’ I am attracted to what they BE! 
For example - Ivan (of Ivan Art) is starting to build his yearly FLOAT in Switzerland! LOL! 
YOU Better believe I’m wishing I was there helping, as I sit here with my downscaled paper mache project! LOL  Learning from a master!! I would be there in a heartbeat.
Other days I dream about watching the waves as Josh Boulet and I doodle, sitting on the beach and we will draw all we see.  
Me & Jerry -  in the shop watching Laughing Buddha BURN bright!!  Any day or night! LOL!  Jessica too... 

But today- I’m spending time with Stephen Boehme (If only in my mind). 
I have not met or even talked to Stephen, we have exchanged a few FB messages. 
I follow Stephen!  lol  No, not in real life... luckily, we live a fair distance. (giggling)
Not just on FB but on P.I.N.

How wonderful to be inspired by other artists and PIN - it makes it easy. 
Stephen is a glass artist - see for yourself!  http://www.boehmestudioproductions.com

For all you glass artist lovers who are as passionate he shares his gift! He even has tutorials on his site. http://www.boehmestudioproductions.com/blog/frozen-fairies-tutorial/    Stephen does it all it appears. I especially love his clay!  
For whatever reason - I love it, it's like looking at the page of a wonderful story book! 
It’s creative, funky and DIFFERENT.  It catches my attention and keeps it.  Some artist ‘live’ to create and Stephen is one, IMO.  His FB posts make me smile - he just seems like an all around good guy. Why wouldn’t I want to spend time with these people! 

I do! I get to see what they make every day! And yes, I am blessed - I can e mail them, talk, ask questions and even have some original work.  They respond to and encourage many more than just me. 

This is who I want to spend my time, 'mental time' with some days,  as I said, Norm loves it - It makes me more creative - He gets to see the rewards and it keeps me HAPPY.  He just wants to know who these guys are that I mention from 'time to time'. lol  ;)
‘Sexual fantasies.. I don’t have any lately it seems.. 
I don’t need them.   
Happy Life - Happy Wife!! 

My artistic daydreams are limitless - seeing and knowing such inspiring creative people makes me want them to become realities!  Create! Make beautiful objects like these gentlemen are creating.
Create anything that makes you feel good simply by looking at it.  
These people make me a better artist and person!

Stephen also appears to be a good dad, his son has his dads talent! 
FB can allow us wonderful glances into talented families.  I know he must have a great relationship with his wife! He is always in the studio!   LOL! 
Sometimes you can’t even speak to me, I’m so deep in thought. We can relate. 
A supportive partner - only makes an artist flourish. ❤

Anyhow, I just think his creations are very inspiring. 
Of course I think about hanging out in the studio with Stephen.. for now - I’m off to my little ‘studio’ and about to start some clay!
A project I would like to think - when Stephen sees it- he might think - he wants to hang out with me - in my studio!  lol    

Support ARTISTS. 
They make our hearts and home brighter. 

Soon... My other favorite glass guy.
Just his smile - makes me want to smile... 
his love for others - makes me want to ‘BE!’ 

With friend like these.. I never focus on enemies.  

I know I skipped a day.. such is life. 
I needed  to be ‘clay ready’ & inspired & not tired. ;) 
I have only included  tiny fraction of  his work below 
Please view his pages for more! You can also find Stephen on Facebook
