At my art-related website, Aisling.net, I regularly offer free art downloads. They’re digital art, or art-related items that I’ve created. You can download them and print them at home. Here are the links to all the printable freebies at Aisling.net, as of January 2023. All of these are copyrighted, and for your personal use only….
Another Star Trek Deck? (and happy memories)
In the 1970s, I was part of the earliest Star Trek conventions. Back then, those kinds of conventions were new, and we had a budget of… Well, close to zero. But we made the conventions happen, anyway. Long-time friend Bjo Trimble was the visionary who organized them. I got involved when she asked if I’d…
1000 Journals Project
This week, taking a few minutes away from decluttering, I had a chance to revisit the 1000 Journals Project. It was kind of important. And, as someone who participated in it – receiving that blank-journal-in-progress at an extraordinary moment in history – I feel SO fortunate to have been part of the project. Here are…
Funny License Plates #1 and #2
Funny license plates are everywhere. However, we see far more of them in New England. Here are photos of the most recent. The first took us a few minutes to understand. Then, after the owner arrived and saw our confusion, we got the joke. It’s “pee before you go.” I think every parent has admonished…
Our Lives at the Moment, in a Photo
I think this describes our lives pretty well, right now. We’re in Maine. It’s snowing. In fact, it’s cold and we’re close to having a blizzard. But, despite that, we keep Disney in our lives. So there. LOL
Our Affordable Home Theatre
Here’s what we watched yesterday afternoon, on our faux big screen TV setup. Actually, it’s more like a home theatre. Yes, we curled up and watched the classic film, “A Christmas in Connecticut.” It looked great, projected about six feet wide. Here’s how we did this, without a big screen TV. First, we have a…
Our Christmas Wishes for You – 2022
Here are our Christmas wishes for you… I made this card in my art studio. I started by creating the first layer, a torn-paper collage. Images came from a variety of magazines, including National Geographic, Architectural Digest, Vogue (UK), and more. I applied the strips, one by one, to a sturdy sheet of art…
Our Freezer Today
This is my husband’s humor. He took this photo of our freezer, this morning. Mine is the mint chip ice cream on the top shelf. The lower shelf is my husband’s stockpile. (The headline on the photo is his, too. He knows this is too much ice cream for one person. LOL) Backstory: My husband…
Disney on My Mind?
This post may contain affiliate links. See my income disclosure. Clearly, it’s been a while since I’ve shared any updates. Our move back to New England didn’t go as planned. (Then again, our lives seem to be like that, and it always turns out to be serendipity.) Now, we’re thinking in bigger terms, planning our…
A New Journey, a New Art Journal
As 2022 winds down, our latest move didn’t go as planned. (For many of us, I think “unexpected” describe recent years.) Oh, we love New England. It’s where we find chatty, happy, people and an immediate sense of community. We love the coastline and salt air, the art galleries and creative opportunities. This area gives…
Monday Morning… This Week’s Work Arrives!
It’s going to be a busy week. First, I’m rebuilding this website after a crash. The bad news is: I didn’t have adequate backups. The good news is: I can reconstruct some from social media posts. It’ll simply take time. Meanwhile this morning, the post office delivered a very large stack of boxes to me….
Weird Things We Get From Vine – Dinosaurs!
Being in Amazon Vine means having access to some very quirky items, and receiving them free in exchange for an honest review. Well, my husband is a dinosaur enthusiast. So, of course I requested this dinosaur shower curtain from Vine (insiders call it “Uncle Vinny”) as soon as it was available. It’s quirky. And weird….
