Many thanks to Cynthia of http://wordsandimagesbycynthia.com for awarding me with a Kreative Blogger award as part of her acceptance of her award! An award presented to bloggers by bloggers, the rules of acceptance are: (1) Thank the blogger who presented me with the award. (2) Post a photo of the award. (3) Share ten things about me that readers don’t know. (4) Choose six people to present this award to. (5) Let the six know that they have been awarded!
I’m not really blog-savvy enough to be able to fulfill all the rules of this acceptance, but it seems like fun, so I’ll do it halfway, and bend the rules by linking to some artist friends I’ve met at various shows that I’ve meant to link to and haven’t yet..
So… Ten (possibly weird, random, and useless) Things You May Not Know About Me:
1. I’m a cancer (astrologically speaking).
2. I took 10 years of piano lessons interspersed with violin, flute, and bass guitar, and rarely practiced. Totally regret not practicing now..
3. I like to keep my tube of toothpaste very clean and always squeezed from the bottom.
4. When I was young I couldn’t stand the way my toes felt pressed together inside shoes.
5. I spent half my day today catching up on emails that I needed to respond to while sitting underneath a down comforter set up like an igloo on my couch (I totally fell asleep and am now doing this instead of finishing my emails).
6. I love to cook for people.
7. My photograph (at age 14) is in a college physics textbook demonstrating some law of sound waves or something. I’ll dig it up one of these days.
8. I’ve had the same winter boots since 1997. I just bought a new pair, but I’ll probably still wear the old ones anyway.
9. I had to hit the ground once during a drive-by shooting (wrong place, wrong time). Ahh, Brooklyn..
10. I don’t really watch TV, but I totally love The Golden Girls. I’ve seen every episode.
6 awesome artists I’ve befriended at shows (there’s more that I’ll surely link to down the road):
Michael Hamlin-Smith – ceramist
Dolan Geiman – contemporary art with a southern accent
Lisa Mistiuk – oil painting
Kent Ambler – print maker
Thomas Spake – glass artist
Yvonne Miller – mixed media
