OK, So... The Girls want to sell their art. Una's idea really and Kaya is along for the ride. I of course am all for it, why not?! We went clothes shopping this weekend and I'll tell you what it wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit if they had their own money to buy dresses. :-) So that's in the works.
However what we really are excited about, the GirlSwirlS would like to invite you to help us with our creativity. Taking an idea from IllustrationFriday.com we would like to solicit theme ideas from you, our friends. The theme could be anything, a creative spark to motivate us to create something. For instance it could be something as simple as a color, RED or a place like JUNGLE. The girls and I, either together or individually will create some work with this theme in mind. Then post it here.
We also would like to invite you to create a work of your own based on the chosen theme of the week. Email your theme submissions to GirlSwirls.
Each week will choose a theme and post it here on Sunday. Then we (and you) have a whole week, till the next Sunday to work on this theme and submit it by email to GirlSwirlS.
Please submit in a jpeg format only. Submissions can be created with crayons, paint, collage, photographs or sculpture. Anything you like really as long as you can scan and send it to us. We will pick one submission to feature here on our main page along with our own for your viewing pleasure. I am sure we would like to show all the work we create and receive but time and other constraints limit us.
Be sure to include any specifics about the work, like its size or medium. Include a personal website if you have one (we'd like to link to you) and a valid email address. We will not release your email address to any third party but would like to add you to our lists for future newsletters and updates. If you would not like updates please state so in your submission email.
NOTE: All submissions must be original work of your own. By submitting the work you are acknowledging this and giving GirlSwirlS and in subsidiaries permission to reproduce said artwork either in part or whole within its websites or print editions.

...for those who are interested.... I have finally uploaded the newly designed GirlSwirlS Blog as you can see. We are still working on improving it and are having some difficulty with being able to rearrange some of the page elements, so expect to see some more changes to the look of the site in the future. But the most important elements are here. Please explore the portfolios in the right hand column for each of us. The girls are such prolific creators, and all of it is so interesting that I realized the task of continually updating the posts to this blog with their work was going to be too time consuming. SO, now we each have a Flikr account for posting images to the web of new works which you can view here as 'portfolio slides'. The far right column will be reserved for sites we visit and like (and so should you), and other interesting tidbits. I'll try to keep the site updated at least once a week, but may update the portfolios more often. I'll reserve posting's for photos of our adventures or other treasure's and occasionally highlighting some of the more particularly interesting works of art.
Check back with us for exciting news coming soon from the girls about how YOU can participate in their creative process!!
ENJOY!
ENJOY!
Very wet, cold and we forgot our rain gear...probably all made it more fun anyhow. We played around in the woods for a bit today. What a spring break, we have had rain, sleet, hail, sunshine, and more snow this year then I have seen here. It's snowing right now in fact....it must be spring!
Remember field trips? You got out of school for a while sometimes for the whole day! Everyone was in maybe a little better mood than usual, the teachers a bit more relaxed in their manner. There was that feeling like you had when you knew you were going to have a substitute teacher. You got to ride the bus, looking at different scenery than you were used to on the ride to and from home everyday. Well we all had a field trip today. All of the Una's school went to look at two cannons that were recently discovered on the beach. They are believed to be from the USS Shark which went down trying to cross the treacherous Columbia River bar in 1846. So I took the morning off and Kaya and I went along. Yea! The sun broke out from behind the clouds just in time to give us an enjoyable couple hours at Nehalem Bay State park.More Information on where the cannons came from Here and Here.
