What are you passionate about?

Thank you Christine for this award! See Christine's amazing work by clicking on her name on the sidebar. I'm supposed to list 7 things I'm passionate about:

1: I LOVE working with clay, especially sculpture. It's the ultimate in playing in mud.

2: I LOVE working with silk dyes. The dyes on fibers are amazingly beautiful and the way the dyes flow along the fabric is a joy to work with.

3: I LOVE oil painting. Although very time consuming, it is a rewarding medium to work in.

4: I love being surrounded by beauty, or making everything around me beautiful. Unfortunately I have a lot of clutter in my environment right now, but there is color everywhere around me.

5. I love animals, especially cats and dogs.

6. I am passionate about being curious, learning, questioning.

7. Travel. Although I don't do as much anymore, however when I did, I enjoyed meeting people.

Today and yesterday I was able to be productive. Even with the itchy hives, I managed to make "sample" silk paintings for teaching silk. One is a small piece done only with black dye for the "Oops! I only have black dye!" challenge and the other is a piece on the differences between colors mixed with black and not mixed with black.
