The ARt of doing business.....or something like that!

                     
I'm 63....I've earned a living by working since I was 16.  I have always loved what I have done, some jobs more than others.  Nothing can compare to my "job" now....Never have I felt more like I now have something to share, not just my art but the creator who gives me breath to do it and to share it and to share his word and his grace and his comfort and his joy along with it!!!!! Rosiewildwoman Art to Wear....

Below is a devotional I get each day from http://www.adevotion.org.....Every day it is good and relevant, today more than most.....

Do Business For God

LUKE 19:13,15 ESV
13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and
said to them, 'Engage in business until I come.'
15 When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered
these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to
him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business.

Your working life is supposed to be for more than just meeting
your needs. Your work is an avenue God can use to bless people
in many ways. You should use all that you have been given: your
influence, your contacts, your profits, to bless people and
turn them toward God.

Many people won't listen to a pastor or TV preacher, but they
will listen to someone they know and contact in daily life.

You don't have to be a pastor or a priest to walk with God and
be used by Him. Think of Abraham, David, Moses, and Daniel. Not
one of them was a preacher or a priest. Instead, they were all
involved in agriculture or government, what we consider as
secular jobs. Yet they are among the most famous and revered of
Bible characters.

Also we should keep in mind that Jesus of Nazareth spent most
of His years on earth as a carpenter -- a businessman -- not a
preacher.

COLOSSIANS 3:23 NLT
23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were
working for the Lord rather than for people.

You can see God move just as much in the work place as at a
church meeting. God is interested in blessing people right
where they are.

Where you work and spend your time is your "world." God does
not expect or ask most people to win some other country for
Him. God expects you to be a witness right where you are. Be a
witness of God's blessing and goodness and love. You don't have
to force your beliefs on people, but let your associates and
customers and suppliers and co-workers see God's blessing in
your life, and as you have opportunity let them know it is
because of God's grace and goodness -- which is also available
for them.

SAY THIS: I will bloom where I am planted and faithfully use
what God has given me for His glory and the growth of His
kingdom.

A Creativity Retreat....It is right in front of you...FREE

I am researching creativity retreats.....I googled it and am bookmarking the sites to go back and study and find the key words, the selling points, the insight into what people are thirsting for...and why they are willing to pay big bucks for it ....... to feel the cool, cool water of freedom flow over their bones. I find all kinds of places offering spiritual relief, creative relief, artistic relief. We want to escape to these places because living the life expected to be lived is a DRAG.....We want coaches to show us the way to be happy...We engage in an endless loop pursuing  what we believe will bring us happiness. We have not made the decisions on how we want our life to play out....We follow what others tell us  because it is easy....but we follow and find no joy.....Life is blah.....so...we search the web again and find the places that will give us a glimmer of what life could be and we pay our big bucks for that moment of bliss when.....if we opened our eyes and looked around us....we would see everything we needed and wanted.....Right in front of us....FREE for the taking....you just gotta LOOK..... Rosie the wildwoman

I'm SO HAPPY I COULD JUST BUBBLE

I'm SO HAPPY I COULD JUST BUBBLE, originally uploaded by Rosie the wildwoman.

Happiness is not known by the things that own you but by the free bubbles we all have inside us just waiting to be released.

A Woman's Touch

I hate dirt and I really, really hate MUD!!! I do not want footprints of clay-like material trekking across my floors.

Take soil with lots of clay in it, Oregon rain, Men who tromp and what do you have........MUD....

Now I understand construction requires playing in the MUD. But I have never understood why it is necessary to tromp it all over the place. Could we not have clean shoes and dirty shoes??? Seems possible to me.

So....we are creating a 160 foot baby trench 14" deep for a water line going around the perimeter of the new building. We are high-Tech and using a digging-trenching machine......It moves very slow, in fact slow enough to complete a manicure while you are waiting for it to move. So.....do we stand there at the mercy of the machine, waiting for it to do it's thing or do we attend to necessary matters while we wait???

Women have always been good at multi-tasking....

EVERYONE IS BORN TO BE CREATIVE

I need flip flops so I buy some my size 8....take them home....they are a size too small....OK....send hubby back the next day to exchange for a size 9.....He brings them back....they are still too small.....So I go back.....return them....get the last 3 pairs of size 10 (you gotta be kidding) take them home....they fit but hurt my feet....The design is just screwy....but what can you expect for a buck.....

So when you cant beat em....you create with them........It is all inside us...creativity....everyday....you are presented with opportunities to be creative.....GO FOR IT!!!!! .Voila....A flower arrangement....flip flops, carnations, sand bucket.....

Take some time to see the possibilities and have FUN...... Rosie the wildwoman

To Every thing there is a season

and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down and a time to build up

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace

Why I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and 22

I am really enjoying the macro lens and have been drawn to photographing things past their prime, flowers, trees, stumps, us.....Things not perfect...things not pretty to some and yet who is to tell what wonderful adventures they had along the way and maybe it feels good to quit trying so hard to impress people and just be content in oneself where and how you are at the moment. Maybe???

Serenity

This face SHOUTS serenity, peace and joy.... I am loving faces.......


The Original Serenity Prayer

- Author Unknown (Shortened version often credited to Reinhold Niebuhr)

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

Independence is NOT bondage

Wearable art neck piece.  A serene woman mentally breaking bondage and gaining independence.  The clay face was created and then enhanced with alcohol inks and pinata inks, covered with diamond glaze and then resin and placed on a hand cut, hand colored aluminum base wire wrapped (bursting through the wires-bondage).  Earrings are light-light hand cut aluminum colored with inks and resin and wire wrapped. 

A WILDWOMAN ORIGINAL

Celebrating Independence Day

   Independence is the freedom to pick and choose what makes me happy.

  Independence is not being leashed to a cell phone.

 Independence is having confidence in my decisions.

  Independence is acknowledging that my bliss comes from accepting my Lord's plan for my life.

 Independence is turning the TV off.

  Independence is honoring my beliefs.

  Independence is seeing beyond my circle.

 Independence is casting off worldly views.

Independence is not listening to the solicitors of the world that bombard you with what you need, what you should have, how to have more, how to get something for nothing.

Independence is not listening to the weather report. The weatherman never brings good news. It's either too hot, too cold, no rain, too much rain, no wind, too much wind....What happened to the thankfulness for whatever the weather is.....

Independence is not doing what I dont want to do instead of doing it and then complaining about it...

Simple revelation....either do it because I want too and enjoy it or dont do it.....It's so easy....STAND UP....TAKE CHARGE OF MY INDEPEDENCE....BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE WAY I FEEL cause it's no one else's responsibility but mine.

I had a wonderful fourth of july holiday doing exactly what I wanted to do and I hope you did too....  

"TO BE FREE, TO BE HAPPY AND TO BE FRUITFUL, CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED THROUGH SACRIFICE OF MANY COMMON BUT OVERESTIMATED THINGS".....Robert Henri

Let's Get it DONE!!!

Yipee....we finally got our building permit for the new studio....Let's dig some trenches for the electrical conduit.  I "can-du-it"  yes I can.....Half the battle of doing it.....is the first step....just try it.....surprise yourself....believe in yourself...Dont listen to the voices that tell you "you cant"......Nike....has it right....JUST DO IT!!!

Can the Easter Bunny Co-Exist with Jesus?

My opinion, Folks.....we all have one. the answer is YES....as long as I believe "it's really all about Jesus" everything..........these guys were caught with the GOODS....caught them in the kitchen earlier this morning....

ZENTANGLE BANGLE BRACELETS

Color and I....we have an affair....and then repetitive motions in a non-repetitive style seem to be part of me....That's why I was so attracted to Zentangles (anything is possible....one stroke at a time)  repetitive strokes creating awesome pictures....

being the Wildwoman that I am, it just became apparent to try a form of zentangle on these foam pieces.....Now you might ask...where did these foam pieces come from????

they are actually cut off of the children's foam door hangers. The bottom that I cut off is used to make rubber stamps from objects.  You might ask...how do you do that?  heat the foam, impress the object, dont breath while doing it and be in a well ventilated area.  

EMBELLISHING A HAT WITH NUNO FELTING AND MORE

Had to try nuno felting which is combining chiffon and wool and then embellish a hat with it and some fibers, beads, medallions, netting.....A true Wildwoman's Hat.... Wore it to the RV show in Salem yesterday......comment I got most (from men) was that it looked great...."women do not wear hats anymore" I wonder WHY???

Something Inspiring to Wear

Words, quotes, inspiration, thoughts, wishes, dreams. I love to express feelings in my work. 
I love feeling feelings.....I love crying.....I love jewelry.....I love the people in my life and the people yet to meet.  I wish I could find women here on the central oregon coast with style and a desire to enjoy art of all types just for the sake of the art and the experience.  check out this bit of inspiration eight principals of fun......great way to begin or end the day.   Wildwomancreations.com  our creations give people an excuse to look at your chest.......

Danger you are entering the wildwoman zone

I have a needle, it is long, it is barbed, I am an unleashed felter.. Rosie the wildwoman
