This is my Mom and I. I really love her tie-dye shirt!<br /><br />Honestly there is not too much going on. I'm still scouring the local art stores for the acrylic paint I like to use. This paint dilemma has stunted my progress on my Harpy painting, unfortunately. But once I get my hands on some more paint I am hoping to make up for the lost time and get it done quick!<br /><br />Until then I am working on a project for my dear friend Randy Wonder Tooth. He commissioned me to paint his huge canvas trench coat- making it into a super special, majickle woods man jacket for him to romp around in the Wolfcreek sanctuary( beautiful piece of southern Oregon land!) in. So far I have painted the parts I wish to embellish with a layer of white screen print paint as a surface prep. I then projected my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/2557055452/in/set-72157608355989558/"><strong>Green Man design</strong></a> onto the back of the coat and transferred it. Tonight I begin working in the color!( Wonder provided me with lots and lots of super wonderful Lumiere metallic fabric paint I will try and take some creative process pictures too, since this is my first big fabric painting project ever.<br /><br />Other then those projects cookin on the side it looks like I will be traveling back to California for the Holidays come Dec. 23rd. I'm very excited to be able to go back to my California roots, see the folks and grandfolks and maybe an old friend or two. It may also be nice to get away from this frigid weather for a week! Only, I really dread flying during the frenzied holiday travel season but I think I will handle it fine, especially since Danny will be coming with me.<br /><br />Tonight Danny and I and our friends Kelly and Clay will be going to a local Shamanic Journey gathering where they will be using the traditional rapid eagle drum beat and guided meditation( not medication- typo sorry) to loose one another into journeys into the spirit realm. Last time Danny and I did it we were really blown away and had much to think upon. I'm excited to find out what tonight's journey may bring.<br /><br />So wish us luck and be sure to keep cozy with loved ones on these chilly winter days!<br /><br />Much love, always<br />-Chelsea Rose<br />Lucid Optic Lab

Finished projects and new tie-dye in our shop!

So I finished my "Wind Spirit" painting over the weekend.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4087543017/" title="Waiting for the varnish to dry by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Waiting for the varnish to dry" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2545/4087543017_b1dbcfa543.jpg" width="413" /></a><br />This is just a quick snapshot that Danny took while Sushi-cat and I were waiting for the first layer of gloss varnish to dry. The flash from the camera really washed out all the colors in the painting, but you get the idea. Hopefully today we will have some nice high quality details pictures of the painting. Its a 14"x14" acrylic painting done on stretched canvas. I'm sellin this one for $150.00 so let me know if you are interested and we will work out the details.<br /><br />Otherwise, Danny also finished a major project of his:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/4086614865/" title="laughing buddha screen print poster by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="laughing buddha screen print poster" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2752/4086614865_b681df3f09.jpg" width="379" /></a><br />Laughing Buddha screen print poster 11"x14"<br />This is a completely hand made, hand printed 5 color silk screen print poster made by Danny.<br />Its extremely limited eddition. He only printed 11 on Bristol paper.<br />To create this Poster he had burned 5 different silk screens, each one a layer that makes up the image. To get a better understanding what this process entails check out his <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab"><strong>flickr</strong></a> page where he documented the creation process.<br />He just listed these posters for sale in our online etsy shop so check out this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34083503"><strong>link</strong> </a>to see the listing.<br /><br />Speakin of etsy, we are trying to revive our shop. During the summer we were so busy sellin our goods at all the local art fairs and farmers market we ended up neglecting our poor little etsy shop. But now that fall is here the rains have begun and we are trapped inside with not much else to do. So, we have begun diggin out all of tie dye, new art prints, screen prints + more and we are slowly photographing it all and listing it in our <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>shop</strong></a>.<br />So, if you are a fan of Lucid Optic Lab tie-dye stay tuned because we will be listing lots this month!<br />The other day we listed a couple items:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4084056524/" title="bellyshirt by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="bellyshirt" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2550/4084056524_866f6393b1.jpg" width="438" /></a><br />Purple Ice long sleeve gypsy tie dye shirt<br />100% cotton<br />elastic and drawstring adjustable<br />size small<br />Bust: 38"<br />Hand tie-dyed with lots of love!<br />Selling for only$10<br />click <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34019058"><strong>HERE</strong> </a>to see the shop listing and more pictures<br /><br />The other item we listed was this one:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4082043396/" title="Strawberry Dusk Tie Dye Skirt by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Strawberry Dusk Tie Dye Skirt" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/4082043396_3a03fe820e.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />This skirt sold in one day!<br />But have no fear, more tie-dye is on the way.<br />So keep checkin our <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>shop</strong> </a>for more.<br /><br />So thats the news as of late.<br />Now i have to figure out what my next painting will be. My dear friend Randy Wonder Tooth bought me a huge box full of 14"x14" gallery box framed stretched canvas and my goal this winter is to do a new series with all of them.<br />Perhaps next i will paint my Harpy drawing. Im also considering doing some experimenting with these trippy face mandalas that i have been drawing just recently. I will scan one in to show you soon.<br />Peace be with you all!<br />I hope you are taking your Echinacea and Goldenseal to keep all these flue yucks at bay.<br />Much love, always!<br />-Chelsea Rose<br /><a href="http://www.chelsearoseart.com/"><strong>Chelsea Rose Arts.com</strong></a><strong><br /></strong><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.chelsearoseart.com/"></a>
