# NaPoWriMo Day 4: Dreams and Wishes

I wrote a song called Haunting Dreams that I recorded with Maria and the Aftermath on our album Selective Memories. I uploaded it to HitRecord which is a fun site for artistic collaboration. I think it fits nicely with this theme. Blogging A to Z diminuendo – gradually get softer dolce – play with aContinue reading “# NaPoWriMo Day 4: Dreams and Wishes”

National Poetry Writing Month is Here!

Blogging A to Z This year I wanted to do something a little different. I’ll still be exploring great words, but instead of new words I decided to concentrate on specific terminology. Every skill, concentration, study or craft has its own terminology. I thought I would add some music to my poetry by looking atContinue reading “National Poetry Writing Month is Here!”

Discovering a New Palette

Sunday morning I was debating whether or not I should order a new little watercolor kit because the one I’ve been using is almost out of paint, but then I remembered an old Gallery art kit in my closet. I was excited to find a whole new palette of colors to play with. Gallery separatedContinue reading “Discovering a New Palette”

Exploring Klecksography is Free and Fun!

You don’t have to have paint and brushes to create ink blots. You can use coffee, tea, even ketchup or mustard. Ran out of printer paper? Any old scrap paper will do. To further my klecksography innovation, I started with the eye-dropper and let that layer dry. Then I tried different size brushes. Flat vs.Continue reading “Exploring Klecksography is Free and Fun!”
