all work and no play...


...makes Carly a bad blogger. I can't believe I've neglected this place for over a month. I mean, I know my posting has been pretty sporadic for a while, but this is getting ridiculous. I guess I've been lacking motivation or inspiration to post much here in general lately, but I've also been super busy. I have a bad tendency to let a lot of things slide when I start to feel overwhelmed by my schedule. What I have been doing is a lot of working (at the "job") and painting. I've been making some new pieces that Narwhal will be showing at Pulse (art fair) in NYC at the beginning of May. Here's one of them. A big departure for me: BLACK!?!? OMG CRAZY. This is a "tektite", which is a pretty cool thing. It looks like an asteroid, but is actually a small lump of natural glass formed by the impact of a large meteor on the Earth's surface. I will post the other two paintings I made for the fair soon.

Of course, now that I've reached one deadline, I've got another coming up in 6 weeks, so the busy-ness continues. However, there are many more beautiful things sprouting and blooming in the garden, and I have an embarrassing amount of new perfume acquisitions to share, so I'll try my best to find time to take some photos and bring some life back to this here blog.

  1. Lovely! I really enjoy the black background on this one. It kind of reminds me of the Death Star (nerd alert!) :) I have been the same way with my blog, it has been neglected while getting ready for shows and grading finals.
