Greetings from Art and the Kitchen Sink!

Greetings everyone!  How're you all doing today? Who's ready to talk crafting?  Wow, that's a lot of hands.  And yes, I see you, the Hermione clone in the back with your hand waving.  I love that enthusiasm.

All of you are smart cookies, so I'm guessing you all have done some kind of crafting before.  I'm talking knitting, drawing, painting, scrapbooking, card making, art journaling, gelli printing, stamping...the list is endless.  And even if you haven't done all of them, you've done one or two.  Doesn't matter if you just started or have been doing it for years.  It all comes down to fun.  Getting your hands dirty, right?  If your hands aren't a kaleidoscope of color when you're done, you haven't played enough.

Oh, and me? Well, you can call me Georgie, and I've done a lot.  Some I dipped my toe in, others I went full tilt.  Some people talk about bringing their work home.  I did the opposite, hah, at least with my art.  Have a little art kit to play with on lunch.  And oh my, the looks, the stares, the questions.  Bottom line?  I don't care.  Art is my time to chill and play.  Just if you have to be somewhere, set an alarm or timer...bosses don't consider art play an excuse.  However, if your work life includes art, even better!

Why, you ask, is my blog called Art and the Kitchen Sink?  No doubt you're all familiar with the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink."  It can be applied to almost anything in life done to an extreme.  Usually joking around.  I've discovered that in the crafting world, just about everything can be considered some form of craft.  And you can lose yourself, in a good way, to said crafting.  So when you're playing with your choice of crafting, you can tend to try everything, including the proverbial kitchen sink. Hence, and the kitchen sink.  Nothing is off limits.

To give a sampler of my work (and believe me, it's definitely a sampler), I've included a banner I put together in about 30 minutes for this area.  Trying to figure out  a way to put it up on the blog permanently.  I'll let you know how that goes.

So thanks for visiting my little slice of the blogosphere, and don't be a stranger.  I can talk about art forever, so if that sounds good to you, then make me a regular stop in your day.  Bye for now!
