Every day I measure out a few dark green drops of vitamins into a glass of water. And every day I watch the slow motion ballet as the green drops swirl downward through the clear liquid. It never fails to make me smile. This photograph barely captures the graceful movement – trust me, it is a liquid ballet.

Popping in on a Sunday to give you a little news from daMuse!
Many of you have written asking for a Daily Art Muse button to put on your blogs and websites. I finally had a little time to create the buttons and you can find them in the sidebar.
Choose the button you like, copy the code beneath the button, put the code into your html page and the image (with a link to daMuse) will automagically appear (or, if you have a WordPress blog, you can put the code in a Text Widget for your sidebar).
If you love this blog, sharing Daily Art Muse is a great way to show your support – grab a button to put on your website!

I’m a low-key, no-frills, hassle-free holiday type of woman. I’m happiest creating so that’s what I’ve been doing this holiday season while everyone else hustles and bustles. But I do have a gift for all of you! A thank you for playing along in my giveaway last week (the comments gave me lots of ideas for my Etsy shop); a ‘happy holidays no matter what you celebrate…I’m celebrating YOU’ kind of gift.

Polymer clay image transfer pushed through a post office box door
Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letter to a Young Poet is one of my favorite books. There are many passages that move me to tears, to a place of comfort, to a state of mind that allows me to take a deep breath no matter what is going on in the world. I took one of my favorite passages and created a collage sheet just for you!
Rilke: Love The Questions {Collage Sheet in PDF* Format}
This little present includes the sheet of quotes/sentences you see above, the same sheet in reverse (for easy image transfers) and one page of the excerpt alone, framed for your viewing pleasure. I hope it brings you many hours of art-making joy!
*The PDF is a large file (so that you can print it with no problem).

I opened an Etsy shop!
textmessages.etsy.com offers text-related materials for artists and crafters. I love words, text, quotes and use them often in my art so this was a natural progression for me.
I’m pushing polymer again! This time through vintage brass. Click the image!
At textmessages.etsy.com you will find vintage typewriter keys, brass letter stencils, vintage vocabulary cards, text collage sheet downloads, letterpress wood type and a variety of other text-related supplies to help you add another layer of meaning to your art. It is still evolving and I have lots more to list so visit often! You can access the site through the links in the sidebar on the right or the links in this post.

Come back this afternoon for my regular post featuring smashing good art and tomorrow morning I’ll be announcing a BIG BOOK giveaway to celebrate textmessages.etsy.com. Stay tuned!
