hello my pretties.



Right, I'm kind of obsessing about shoes. I'm trying to write a grant. Not for shoes, but seriously, wouldn't that be great if I could? I mean the real reason I need shoes is because I trash mine in the studio.

I'm having some concentration issues today. Obviously.

Those are great shoes.

Grants for shoes? Well, yes, this is very do-able. Here in Indiana, we have a "Creative Renewal" grant. They give about 50 each time (bi-annually) at $7500.00/each. The guidelines are such that these are primarily vacation grants. They want the local yokel artists to get out and go somewhere and hopefully return a tad less yokely. And...it's open to arts administration as well. One grant recipient, a secretary I think, went around the country, visiting various places, and bought a pair of shoes in each city.

I have a bit of an attitude about never qualifying, not that I need shoes or a vacation.

OMG! What I would give for a grant like that. Shoes and a vacation! Everyone needs shoes and a vacation. Seriously, that's a pretty cool grant.

I'm pitching for materials. Trés boring.

some day,
I am going to stand in the same room with carla and mary.

It will likely take some stretching, but, I will be expecting glorious shoes.

(oh and the paintings were cool too)

It's over.

Nov 7, 2020. Tears of joy and relief. It's been unreal and I'm ready to get back to a sense of normalcy. The desert has been tough.
