On my mind...

12/8/2018

0 Comments

 
The Tiki Show was a success!  A few TiniWeenieTiki are off to new homes this week!  Yesterdays was a lovely day-  We set up for the show in record time and I was home enjoying the pool while my pal pushed Tiki! Hee Hee Hee    Kat had a great time at the Tiki Booth- I thinks just likes to say "Aloha!"  She told me a few tried the game with success- good - because most think its too difficult - until You're 'hooked that is'.  

I must say it was nice to take a TiniWeenie break- and NOW my mind is full cannabis mode again...  Not long now!  I find I just wan tot paint positive images with cannabis- because it is a healing, helping plant.

Did you read about Monsanto? This was the best news I have read in a very long time!
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/10/health/monsanto-johnson-trial-verdict/index.html
I cried of  few tears of joy for this guy & the planet.  

Last week (just days before the Tiki Show) I was sent an e mail from someone...
in it I was informed: "And for the record, your art is not that great.  The only thing that makes it great is that you are so handicapped and you can still draw.  Its more like charity art.”    This same  woman told me  "my face is ugly" and others would be ashamed to be seen with me.  She even went to the extent to add "(YES UGLY)"  in case I missed it the first time.  Was I shocked? No,  because  I know who sent it.  
A seriously  mentally ill  woman - she's proved it several times over, if I shared details with you - yes, you'd be shocked but why bother - WHY give this "evil" any more attention at all?   

Did the art comment hurt - hell no. That I know is coming from a jealous,  insecure - uncreative person.  Making fun of me - ? - just like How Trump makes fun of people with disabilities - she is American - so that explains a lot.  
Yes, my disability is visual but hers is deep dark and hidden.   
YES! I am handicapped with these hands -it's beyond my control  & I AM proud I get out of bed EVERY day & continue to PAINT!  Continue to inspire and continue to be ME! Continue to put this "ugly face" & paintings out there!  Unlike some who just run around in their own brain trying to figure out how they can hurt others by causing destruction & pain.

The face comment- yes it hurt... it hurt because I know it's true, I know how I look when my face contorts and it hurts and I don't like it - so she was just being her TRUE, nasty bitch shelf buy sharing that with me. We all know how crazy some women get over lying cheating boyfriends, she's hurt and wants to hurt anyone & anything she can.  My face may be 'ugly' to some (my son thinks I'm beautiful, my dogs too by the way -   lol )   but this  woman - she  IS UGLY to the CORE.  

I'm grateful for the lesson. I'm more grateful that I had  an amazing conversation last night from someone I admire & respect, he simply reminded me:  
Rise above, that is not you - don't be dragged down to their level of low of shameful behaviour.  Continue to show your beauty through your art & smile - as crooked as it may be  because you ARE  love - ly.   

Today - I feel fantastic! ready to greet this day & paint! The TiniWeenieTikiShow show was a success! I even paid my handyman!!   & my friend Kat- made my day for several reasons- I'm happy we still call each other 'friend' after 30 years and MANY ups & downs.  People SMILE when they look at my art- what are you contributing to the world today?
Pain & suffering or Peace and pleasure?   Im painting  plants, pleasure & peace.

Thank you eveyone who continues to tell me I'm beautiful, I am trying hard to keep putting  'this face' out there.. I know what you mean & I appreciate the love but I certainly don't 'NEED' the comments to keep going...

I have God reminding every single day - I am PERFECT exactly as I am. 

Time to PAINT Cannabis!! Play with my girls, harass Norm - what can we make now!?!!
LOL    OH!! - I am designing my own new day bed! - he is building - Wait & see!! I saw it on line and it is way beyond my current budget- but Norm will make it and it will have even more value - custom made for me - with TLC.  Time to get busy!
Below a few photos of the tiki show set up.

TWTiki Bar is HERE! Come sit for a spell...

"Wouldn't it be cool if my TiniWeenieTiki had a Tiki Hut to sell them from?"
I saw the light in Norms eyes twinkle when I said it.. "I drew a sketch... in case you're curious"   (lol).  

I tell you - it's one of those times..  I am reminded we make a very good creative team- I enjoy creating on paper/canvas/wood - and he enjoys creating in a different dimension - you could say.  While I was busy in the back yard painting Tiki - he was in the garage.
Later in the day he said "Come see your Tiki Bar!"  When I walked into the garage and saw my sketch come to life in front of me - I felt emotional.   Grateful.  
Picture
I felt ... loved.

I know what he is capable of & I know how long his "ToDo"  list is. - lol  The fact that he stopped it all to make this awesome Tiki Bar- in record time was appreciated more than flowers, dinner and  bonbons!  You can't 'Buy' love.  You can pay a prostitute :) & they do deserve your money - but true love...  NFS.
You can't buy love - but you can express your love & appreciation  in countless ways.
This was one of those ways and I am grateful.

My TiniWeenieTiki will be at the show this  Saturday - look for the TIKI hut.
I'm not sure how the show will go, it's never easy to put yourself out there & to put a price on your work'  one that others might not agree with- usually thats because they have no concept of how long it takes to create something, the many steps & brushstrokes involved.
Perhaps no tiki will sell - maybe they will all sell!  I really don't care because I enjoy them & I KNOW they will make my friends & family smile.. that alone has been worth  creating them  and you'll soon see they progress into garden totems, animal tiki totems & more. Every new day  I'm excited to be imagining the  new Tiki I'll create the nest day. Be sure mohave a peek at the TIKI Bar- I've made it a TIKI Fortune telling bar- with 37 different responses- It's simple- what ever you read first - when you walk up to the TIKI bar- is what the TIKI want's you to focus on! hee hee

The trick is to keep trying.
Trying by being creative, expressing yourelf- let yourself shine- no matter what ANYONE else thinks. Remember when at a show - the only ones who ever say anything negative are those who are jealous, insecure, usually not creative themselves  or just nasty f*ckng people with nothing better in their lives so they knock others work.  LOOK, and listen WHERE it is coming from - wish them well  - tell them to fuck off and keep moving forward. ;)

Below  a couple of detailed shots of the 'Tiki Fortune telling bar' -  even the bamboo that holds up the roof is 'painted PVC pipe. ;)  Today- Back to painting Cannabis for me! Taking a tiki break- I read today Canopy/Canada is researching cannabis for dogs & creating a dog food with it in it! - YEAH!   I'm so grateful to read knowing soon our pets will have the same options- safer than pills in many cases I've no doubts!  The times they are a changing!

Introducing The Mushroom king! #3

8/8/2018

Picture
! The Mushroom king - had me giggling the moment his crown appeared. 
I do not pre sketch my TWT- only in my mind, so when they appear in front of me...
​ I'm just a surprised as you might be - lol   The mushroom king is aware!
Picture
Aware we are here for a good time- not a long time! So make the most of every moment!
Have Fun. Be Creative.  Know that you have the grandeur of God within & SHINE! 
These Tiki are energetic - I feel them each time I stop & observe!
Picture

It won't be long long before I set my TWT free! Some more goodness came from these tiki
I now have an incredible TIKI bar!!   lol     I did a little sketch and mentioned to Norm ..
"Wouldn't be awesome if my Tiki had a Tiki bar booth?"      
The past few days 'in between tiki' Norm made me an incredible booth/bar & I painted it of course (with a Twist)  I can't believe how it turned out,  beyond thrilled.  I added- "who knew all I needed to do to get a tiki bar was create the Tiki."  
This Tiki bar would sell in a heart beat - If I wanted to - I DO not.  If anyone is interested they can order their own- I spent an entire day just painting the bar top (different & intriguing  is how I would describe it)  after the show I'm putting my Tiki Bar in the studio to become my TiniWeenieTiki  Cannabis bar!  Hee Hee -  Bring on the TIKI!

Here are my first 3 tiki - agains the  fence in the backyard - where I plan on hanging them all
They look great from a far & even better up close.  

Yikes- it's been humid.. the tiki for the show are all painted & can't add any now for fear they won't be dry enough in time  with the humidity, the next  2 days it's all about details- grass skirts & name tags.  If you want to see them all - you have to go to the show! 
I'll still 'share' them as time goes on- in order I painted. I only have 12 Tiki For Sale*

I myself am not sure I will stay for the show- I will be there to set up - you know why I paint Tiki - I wish I could get past this' so I could socialize more- it's  exhausting when I even start to think about talking to strangers,  I'll let my Tiki speak for themselves - I WOULD like to stand somewhere where I can 'watch reactions' to my Tiki - that makes me happy - seeing others smile at my work...  perhaps I'll be the person hiding behind the tiki.  ;D  

Tiki Bar tomorrow!  Want to come christen it with me? As soon as the studio is open...

Introducing: #2  Tokem Tiki!

7/8/2018

Picture
'Tokem was my #2,  TiniWeenieTiki and he is all about cannabis & enjoyment!
Tokem was  inspired by my son Storm.. I thought I'd have a little fun and play with my TiniWeenieTiki and celebrate the coming of legalization in just 7o  days! Tokem is all about the green! It starts with 7 green feathers on top of his head & check out that smile!
Cannabis makes Tokem feel GOOD! Toke has a joint  which he joyfully puffs all day long.
Picture
Tokem is taller than the Shaman - it was quite the physical stretch (not mental) to paint this TWT, laughing all the while as these faces smile back at me. I can't wait!! Cannabis will be legal in 70 days! Are you ready Canada!? I AM!  
Picture
I'm proud of the fact I am a cannabis consumer - even  prouder my son is a cannabis grower- he inspired this tall, happy TiniWeenieTiki.   You can see Tokem  in a video on my IG page. Or you can see him this up coming weekend at thePainted Perch - he will be for sale with several of his tiki family!  Wait until you see the TiniWeenieTiki hut built to welcome visitors to the TWTiki booth!

Today it's all about adding details to 'Hook-em-Eh!'  - Games- there will be a demo for you to try before you buy. I wish you could see Tokem in person - his vibrant green pops and he almost seems to Glow at times - is it the paint or cannabis?  Who cares as long as you feel this good.
​
Back to painting! Such a busy week - so much to celebrate with every new TWT created.. I mentioned to Norm "I'm at #18 and I can hardly contain my excitement to paint the next idea in my head"... - I just painted 'His Royal Highness' - today it's a king and queen.  
Hee Hee - Lucky Me!

Back to it- Do what you love- Have a CREATIVE day!

Wearable Cannabis  ART!

20/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
I picked up  a jean shirt yesterday, took one look and thought - THIS needs paint.
What better way to educate that with some fun art- wearable art.  Not sure what to paint- I did what comes Naturally'... cannabis butterflies and even a fox!   & NOW I have a NEW shirt - I love! I can't wait to wear it out- the paint hardly dry before I had it on for these photos.  Why NOT!? Sometimes I forget I can do these things.. lol as I searched for a new shirt on line yesterday to wear to the Lift Expo. hee hee  
Some people will look and see Cannabis right away- others will simply see a fox in the garden!  If asked I will be happy to explain & educate on this plant.
Picture
I had so much fun painting this I started a cute pair of jean overalls too. I live in overalls for the summer, perfect for painting & gardening.  Over the years I've painted many clothing items- hats, shoes, shirts, t's... my favourite a white leather jacket with a 'Japanese warrior"  on the back - I still know who has it- I asked for it back because I know they'll never wear it.. nor do they communicate with me  but  the request was ignored. Some People don't want to communicate with you but they keep YOUR ART... speaks volumes.
I hope she reads this and mails it to me. It would be appreciated.

Thankfully I have the talent, desire to create another! I'm going to search for a used leather jacket I like at a secondhand store - there its a great one in Newmarket:
                                     https://www.platosclosetnewmarket.com
                 Especially if I'm only going to paint it- reuse, recycle, re- love.

So- I have decided- would you like a custom painted cannabis shirt?  I will paint  a couple! Different butterflies, creatures.. who knows and will sell them. It is a ONE of a kind wearable art! Be noticed & educate at the same time! If interested send me a e mail - well talk SIZE, butterfly colors, critter suggestions and $PRICE.
* Yesterday I had a "conversation' with someone re the price of my art- let me clarify for altho might be confused:
I do NOT work for FREE.
Yes, I often send people FREE art- that is my choice of whom and what.
I have worked very hard at my craft the last 10 years PLUS.
I charge MORE that minimum wage...  If I spend 5 hours on art - and some people don't even think it's worth minimum wage - my time - THAT is your problem, your confusion... keep moving. I KNOW what my art is worth, if you disagree - don't buy anything - BUT who are YOU to tell me what I should charge for MY work?  The IRONY - I was giving this person  a deal with my price.. after his remarks-  FUCK that, my price just increased by $100. & I hope ALL artists READING this now learn NOW.. I'm tired of  changing my prices- for those who do not know the worth of a piece of art- I know people  who won't spend $100 on art but will have NO problem DRINKING that much at a bar in a couple of hours.  

IF you like the art- pay the artist or don't... but how dare anyone tell you what they think YOUR worth is. IF they do - tell them to keep moving...
Picture
I'll also avoid any confusion regarding these shirts- A *NEW (purchase by me)  ONE OF A KIND shirt- your size.. painted on the front with cannabis & butterflies and a critter - will cost you $75.00.
$125 for FRONT and back  cannabis creation!  I'll take a couple  of orders while I feel like it- so you should hurry if you want  it to wear NOW! ;)  Each order will take 3-4 weeks for delivery.  georgiatoons@rogers.com  to order & if you have any questions.
I'm so excited I've got to go finish the overalls!!  Have a creative DAY

Oh Betty what are you searching for?

 Betty Boop on a late night foray.
I guess Kewpie was just the start.. I was also surrounded by Betty Boop' as a kid - glasses, statues, dolls - Mom's - not a crazy collection but still impressive and it grew over the years as friends give my mom clothing, purses, and stuff.  I realized painting Betty- I don't have one! Or a Kewpie - I've decided to ask my mom for one of each to enjoy NOW - in my office... my preferred place, my slice of heaven on earth, where I create & am at my happiest!  ;)  Have you been on an evening Foray?
Did you know some mushrooms GLOW in the dark!?
Betty is NOT dressed properly - just saying.   Stylish, yes - Realistic - no.

I woke up today and SMILED- I feel it- Finally!  started singing that song!:
Finally!!! It has happened to me..
So many 'positive things' happening, a shift and a permanent one at that. I know it.
I feel so positive today - I actually believe Trump won't last another year!
WoooooHooooo!

What do you think of the theory - we are all living in a virtual world- like the Matrix -NOW? I've been learning about this topic - confusing  especially at first but I do 'get i't and it is fascinating. https://medium.com/@yazinakkawi/elon-musk-thinks-were-living-in-the-matrix-if-he-s-right-it-s-a-good-thing-6f5d3cb97334
I like Elon Musk, a lot. Impressive man - on many levels, his father is far from impressive, just another dirty old rich perv.   It's hard not to take what Elon Musk says seriously and it's not just him - there are several very intelligent people who all agree.  

This is a very interesting Ted Talk:

BUSY Creative BUSY day!  
This is what we are cranking to start this day  (the dogs & I)  Stretch, boogie & get busy although I've been up chatting to God since 5 - what a stunning pink & purple SUNRISE  I was rewarded  with - for my early conversation today.    Hee Hee.
I am a fan of Motown!  How about You?

What has me smiling & excited & singing!?
