Square Space not Square Pants

Do you know sometimes when you see a word or read a word as something else when you look at it for the first time, or when you're tired? It's really a different word but you keep wanting to or your eyes or brain keep wanting to see it as something else? Maybe I just really missed the entire Sponge Bob Square pants thing......lol

I found this pretty cool web site: http://daisyyellow.squarespace.com but for some reason my brain wants to read this as squarepants every time I see it. Ok.......... anywhoooooooo....yes, well, menopause can do lots of things...

I believe Tammy Garcia is a" pretty creative chick." She doesn't know I've been following her blog on a daily basis for a couple of months. She's pretty generous with sharing her ideas, resources and information. She doesn't know it was she that inspired me to go get a brayer and make those batik looking paint strips on card stock that I posted a few posts back.

I came upon her blog when she was introducing doing art on index cards. ICAD or index card a day was a summer project. Lot's of things one can do on an index card and for me works to satisfy my hunger for doing some kind of art when I don't have a lot of time. And when you put a lot index cards together you have created sometimes a another bigger piece of art. I have in no way done an index card a day for the summer but I have been inspired to do them as I find they lead to bigger ideas on bigger spaces. They are a good way for me to use up left overs. I don't like to admit that I don't like to throw pieces of paper away. lol. so why not throw it on an index card? You can used line or unlined, ruled or unruled..... it can then become unruly. lol. I am not even sure these cards are all finished but I like the simplicity of it, the none thinking.... Here's a few of my ICADS. Tammy, thank you for your sharing.....and . maybe that's it.......... bigger ideas on bigger square spaces.....
