So there is more to come!<br /><br />Over the weekend i made a few pieces of artwork for donation to In Other Words Feminist book store.<br />They are having an art auction to raise funds to keep the store open.<br />Here are just a couple of the pieces i am entering into the art auction:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5385091954/" title="Green Harpy- donation by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Green Harpy- donation" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5214/5385091954_cab2f0c2b1.jpg" width="278" /></a><br />Green Harpy<br />4.5" x 8" ink drawing on acrylic painted wood<br />by Chelsea Rose<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5385091846/" title="Purple Curl- donation by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Purple Curl- donation" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5220/5385091846_1938bced2d.jpg" style="WIDTH: 369px; HEIGHT: 431px" width="457" /></a><br />Purple Curl<br />7" x 8" ink drawing on acrylic painted wood<br />by Chelsea Rose<br /><br />....In Other Words is a one of kind feminist bookstore and community outreach center here in Portland Oregon. I would hate to see it have to close its doors for lack of funds. If you are interested in learning more about the book store check out the <a href="http://inotherwords.org/">website</a>. If you want to see how you can help keep it up and running check out <a href="http://inotherwords.org/support-us">this page</a>.<br /><br />In other news, this weekend was a nice one spent relaxing at home watching Samurai 7 (the old black and white movie and then the new anime version also.) We did some watercolor painting, took a nice hike in the local woods, baked some home made samosas, went out to lunch for Tom Kha soup with our friend Dr Bob, worked on more art projects...you get the idea! Still, the weekend somehow seemed short.<br /><br />here are a couple scans of the watercolor fun:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5381300885/" title="3rd Eye Navigation by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="3rd Eye Navigation " height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5287/5381300885_8e4824c5cb.jpg" width="331" /></a><br />3rd Eye Navigation<br />4" x 6"<br />original watercolor painting<br />by Chelsea Rose<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5381905758/" title="Succulent by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Succulent " height="336" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5122/5381905758_5c10eee22f.jpg" style="WIDTH: 393px; HEIGHT: 294px" width="500" /></a><br />Succulent<br />4" x 6"<br />original watercolor painting<br />by Chelsea Rose<br /><br />I am also working on a short story to submit to a <a href="http://greenwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/02/first-sunday-short-fiction-tea-and-confession/">fiction writing blog party</a> a friend of mine does once a month. You are supposed to submit one story 2,000 words or less by emailing her a link to where you posted it so that she can feature the writing on her blog along with the other participants. This is just what i need to keep myself writing. Deadlines actually do help sometimes! I have my story all written out but I am still over the word limit by a couple hundred so i am looking to trim it down. i will be posting it once its all done. Content hint: my story is based in a post apocalyptic society with an accidental hero that remakes the fate of the world through her painting. I hope it isn't a snooze! You ll tell me the truth, wont you?<br /><br />I am also pretty close to being done with crafting a publishing proposal/cover letter to send off to a few publishing companies that i have in mind. I would love to get my Goddess In All of Us body art photography book picked up by someone like Chronicles books but i cant wait for that to happen, i have to seek them out myself.<br />In the meantime i have been submitting my Goddess In All of Us series to local art galleries in Portland Oregon. I have gotten back some very encouraging responses however most of the galleries seem to already be booked through all of 2011 and a lot of 2012. Im also going to begin approaching out of state galleries but it does seem that Goddess shows will have to be a thing of the future. Wish me luck!<br /><br />So thats whats up in my current realm of existence.<br />Much love and many blessings,<br />-Chelsea Rose
