Support Musing by becoming a Patron!
Times are tough and I honestly in all the years of running this blog (13 years and counting!) I wanted to avoid what I’m doing right now. I’ve always wanted Musing to be a free resource. In the current climate of COVID 19 artists and self employed are struggling and facing a lot of future uncertainty. Today I lost the 6th paid job in 2 weeks. So I guess I’ve reached a tipping point and need to reach out to our community for support. I really want to be able to continue to support our community, raise up artists, and share creative and educational content. If you can support Musing at this time my sincere thanks. If you can’t, I totally understand. Even just helping share this post is appreciated.
Much love to all.

The exhibition will open in 2016 at the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, MO and will be one of the major exhibitions featured during this year’s 50th NCECA conference.

monday morning eye candy: @ihavethisthingwithfloors
Hi everyone! Thanks for showing up, thanks for being here.
I know today feels pretty heavy, everywhere around this little planet of ours. My kids are home from school indefinitely now, and my aged parents live provinces away. I’m missing my loved ones and just want to go and give every last one of my friends in this world a hug. But alas it cannot be so. #fuckcovid19 to put it mildly.
So today I thought i’d share one of my favorite instagram accounts @ihavethisthingwithfloors
I love how this account allows me to travel around the world looking at stunning ceramic tile works. Thank goodness for social media and the internet at times like this to keep us feeling connected to the rest of the world. May we find ways to still share art and love and creativity throughout this pandemic and self isolation. I’ll try my best to stay active here on the blog and on instagram. But hugs my friends. Stay safe, stay healthy. Be creative. Love with wild abandon. Tell each other you love them. Help each other, we are all in this together. There is no I. We are one.
