A Friend

Today I got a surprise gift from a friend. It couldn't have come at a better time.

My friend lives on the other side of the country. We used to be in regular contact via email and chat. I have found it very difficult for the last year or so to keep up contact with people - illness, responsibilities, mood swings etc. I am very, very pleased that she made contact again.

My friend TeAnne is a talented artist. I have a great collection of her Killer Teddy ACEO and ArtX2 paintings. I wish I could afford one of her larger works.

Have a look at her blog here:

TeAnne's Blog

and her online shop here:

I just discovered I could do this :-)

About Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

From the Wikipedia

As Eve LaPlante discusses in her book, "Seized," the intense emotions, sensory experience including vibrancy of colors, and particular mental state provoked by temporal lobe abnormalities may have contributed to the creation of significant works of art. A number of well-known writers and artists are known, or in many cases suspected to have had temporal lobe epilepsy....

Fearghus After Dark

I thought a little serious content was in order so here is a link to a wikipedia article on TLE

Have a look it makes it easier to cope with people who have this problem (?) if you know something about it.

Progressing slowly

Haven't been in here to write for a while. Been feeling depressed and overwhelmed. So many things to do and so little energy to do them with.

Temporal Zone 1

This has been progressing though - slowly, very slowly.

I am enjoying painting/drawing it but it is difficult to concentrate so it is taking quite a while.
I am also working on another Spirit Cat ACEO - also very slowly, lol.
Tomorrow I have to try to get a least one of the hand made books and albums I am working on finish. I have very little work in the shop at Leura - not very smart at this time of year.
