First I have to say that AT&T—>Cingular—->AT&T which I have had since 2000 has great customer service especially if you play by their rules. Ariel’s cell phone was apparently found by someone who ran up in less than 4 hours over $150 worth of data download charges. Since I suspended the phone with in a certain period of time and can prove that the phone was no longer in her possession when the data was downloaded, they will refund the charges on the phone. Now I have to decide if she is getting another phone to replace this one. Either way any extra charges are coming out of her paycheck.<\/p>\n
It has been snowing all morning with fluffy dry snow. The roads are clear and it is rather pretty outside right now.<\/p>\n
Today’s topic is People who inspire me to be creative.<\/i><\/p>\n
This is a short list off the top of my head which I know could be longer and is in no particular order.<\/p>\n
There are the obvious like Peter who inspires me every day to become a better artist and my family who cheers on my efforts.<\/p>\n
Jim Henson. His work still inspires and uplifts me.<\/p>\n
The Frouds (all three of them) Wendy is probably my favorite doll maker.<\/p>\n
Susie Oroyan (who by all accounts is doing better) Her books showed me the possibilities for doll making<\/p>\n
David Currell whose books on puppetry has helped me a lot over the years. Most of them are out of print but I have made it a point to get copies of them.<\/p>\n
Dave McKean cause he makes me take another look at what is art and how it can be constructed.<\/p>\n
Neil Gaiman cause he keeps me honest about my art. (I know I still own him about 4 of the endless a project I plan to get done before I die)<\/p>\n
My various doll making groups. Their boundless creativity and support make me want to create more art<\/p>\n
My various puppetry groups. They sometimes give me the kick in the rear I need to get something complete.<\/p>\n
People who read this blog and also the artists whose blogs I read which are too numerous to mention here (but you know who you are *grin*).<\/p>\n
I’ll probably think of about 20 other people when I close this out but I do have things to do today.<\/p>\n
I am grateful to all the people who inspire me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
