"I cannot stay I came to say I must be going…")<br />
<br />
It's not goodbye, just a change of address!<br />
I have finally updated my website to include my blog here: <a href="http://www.artbybernadette.com">www.artbybernadette.com</a><br />
I will no longer be posting here, but feel free to sign up (at the new place) for updates.<br />
Oh, and don't worry, all of my posts here on blogger have moved over too!<br />
<br />
Hope you stop in to the newly remodeled home!<br />
Hugs,<br />
Bernadette<br />

The lace from the left got caught in a hook on the right, and
down I went! Not even enough time to get my hands out of my pockets,
so used my chin to break my fall. <br />Fortunately, it was very slushy out,
which lessened a direct impact, but added to the amount of dirt and
road salt going in my mouth and face. <br />I understand newer boots don't have these metal hooks anymore. Maybe
it's replacement time?<br />

Most everyone thought it would be boring (for nerds only!) so there were only three of us taking the tour. Our guide was an older gentleman who obviously loved his work. It was one of the best tours I've had, and the museum is amazing!<br />
Musical instruments, costumes and accessories from all over the world, and from ancient times to modern hip-hop. <br />
I had planned to relax and sketch, but the tour took up most of the allotted time. So I hurried and did several, adding color later, and taking photos of everything else that I had time for. (Didn't want to miss the bus!)<br />
Here are my sketches from that day, a variety of things that caught my attention. <br />
I wish I had a full day to enjoy all the displays! Definitely worth a visit if you're near there!<br />

Do you love New Years Day? The idea of starting fresh, putting 2013 behind you?<br />
In 2013, maybe you didn't do your art every day or even every week?<br />
Didn't finish that one piece still sitting in your studio?<br />
Didn't organize your 'stuff' like you planned?<br />
Didn't connect with friends and family like you'd hoped?<br />
Have regrets?<br />
Reset, reset, reset!<br />
The fact that I sat around and watched non-stop Twilight Zone shows instead of<br />
finishing this sketch means I could really use one of these buttons in real life!<br />
Did Rod Serling ever write an episode about a drawing that comes to life? <br />
<br />

They were forgotten in my post-trip blues! Or maybe because I was so busy riding my new scooter during the summer! <br />
Anyway, I'm posting them together - there may be more, but they will be sketched from photos, which, as you may know, are not as much fun as sketching in person. Some of the "joie de vie" may be missing.<br />
There is so much beauty in this tiny little corner of Italy - I'm sure I need to return as soon as possible! <br />
Oh, I just noticed - the art quote for today is: <br />"Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love. "-Alfred Sisley<br />
How true is that for this post? Hmm?<br />

(See them here: <a href="http://artbybernadette.blogspot.com/2013/08/get-fresh-calendars-tote-bags.html">http://artbybernadette.blogspot.com/2013/08/get-fresh-calendars-tote-bags.html</a> )<br />
A friend suggested flour sack tea towels with my art, and here they are! I'm so grateful to our local printer (<a href="http://www.calleousa.com/">www.calleousa.com</a>) for the quality and the fact that they rushed these to get done for our local farmer's market. (Winter is coming, so our farmer's market goes indoors to the Binghamton Metrocenter the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of November and December.)<br />
ALERT - Blatant sales pitch:<br />
These towels are so soft, 26"x26", and each one has a screen print of my original ink and watercolor sketch..<br />
They make great gifts for the holidays!<br />
Buy one (or two, and $ave) here: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/artbybernadette">https://www.etsy.com/shop/artbybernadette</a><br />

When amazing coincidences occur. When you're thinking of someone and the phone rings and it's that person!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, maybe it wasn't so bad. After thinking about it, I guess I like the results!<br />
So, I covered up 2 more pages that I wasn't fond of, and here is the first:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rTbhKoaHjnQ/Um6Z2XX2PoI/AAAAAAAAT_A/LcuZzBBTUMQ/s1600/synchronicity.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rTbhKoaHjnQ/Um6Z2XX2PoI/AAAAAAAAT_A/LcuZzBBTUMQ/s320/synchronicity.jpg" width="186" /></a></div>
I would say the colors are a little muddy (time to clean my palette?), but I had fun making this one. All those swirly lines going absolutely nowhere.<br />
I've got one more page to play with - I do love words, I was a library nerd, well, I still am.<br />
That did pose a challenge for me to actually TEAR OUT a page from a perfectly good book.<br />
Maybe because it's in French, and I'm not 100% understanding the meaning. <br />
Well, we will see.ArtbyBernadettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817216502166489102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654965548332793265.post-53983677794266621622013-10-23T12:51:00.002-04:002013-10-28T13:05:58.924-04:00I messed up!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I filled 2 pages in my small moleskine, and wasn't happy with the
results. So I covered them with pages from an old French book, and
tried something new. I'm not crazy about these results either, but it
was fun to experiment!ArtbyBernadettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817216502166489102noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654965548332793265.post-4315123864828162772013-09-24T17:03:00.003-04:002013-09-24T17:03:39.540-04:00Despair<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Calendars & Tote bagsSince many have asked, I've decided to order multiple copies of these items, and have opened shop on Etsy. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/artbybernadette" target="_blank">www.etsy.com/shop/artbybernadette </a><br />
<div>
The calendar is made with top quality paper, and is a convenient 5x11" size to hang on the wall.</div>
<div>
The cotton tote bag is a generous 15x15, with a full color print of my corn sketch. </div>
<div>
I'm so happy with the quality of these!<br />
<br />
UPDATE Sept. 26, 2013: I'm happy to say the bags are nearly gone (only 2 left to sell!) and the calendars are down to 10.<br />

...all track of time! These were another purchase from the Farmer's Market yesterday. I got after eating the dragon fruit (another post on that), I knew I wanted these for dinner, but also wanted to sketch them. So, when I was finally done sketching, it was 9 pm! A late dinner, but surely worth the wait.</div>
