Southern California's recent heat wave of record breaking temps has brought us a little thunder and rain tonight - reminds me of my years in the Midwest. But it was all too brief here.
Some new digital pieces . . .
I don't know why, but I sure am stuck on digital lately. Can't seem to dig up the energy to do cut and paste - it involves such busy work, though I love the end result. All the fun lies in the picture prep lately for me and so I just end up finishing things digitally. I'll get back to my roots one of these days. I sure miss the finished hand cut pieces once they're done.

Ode to My Dishrag
copyright by Marsha Jorgensen 9/29/10. All rights reserved.
I even wrote a poem for my dishrag celebration:
Oh my dearest dishrag
Thou art my true tried friend
Frayed and spongey
Wet and grungy
Together we are relentless
we strive to undo
The sticky swallowing goo
Of yesterday's feasts
and last night's rendevouz with cake
I feel your weave
you engulf my skin
Gloving my fingers
Filling every crevice of glass and tine
Sacrificing yourself over blade and chip
Moldy, stinky, lovely dishrag
Twishted and wrung, dank and old
Like me
How we understand each other.

Oh woooow so wonderful new art and sheets. Absolutely stunning. WOW !!
Love the messengers! And it's good to always have a drawer a little open in life.
Gorgeous digital work and your sheets look fantastic
Of course we miss you! I love your new work...and that open-a-little drawer is really touching me. I have always felt that certain parts of my life...are put into the drawer. ♥
Ooooh, I am in love with the Messengers, Marsha! I have been a little awol (family stuff) and I've missed out visiting you a few times. I am thinking of you and hope all is well there at the fort. ;) Xoxo!!!! Pam
I haven't had a chance to comment on your very fun site yet because I have been too busy playing with all the very fun sheets I got from you! And now you have even more! They are also just great!
Wishing you a happy, creative day!

Great stuff. Even with the heat wave you've been busy! Still cannot get over Ode to a Dishrag. Priceless!
A completely new direction for you Marsha ad I love it! Very Maggie Taylor (don't you hate to be compared to other artists?!) but with a twist, I like yours much more. I have made NO art for so long as work has unfortunately taken priority but seeing your new creations has made me decide to take some time out for me and 'art'! Thank you. Hope all is well at home and your son is doing well. XxX
The dishrag poem really made my day. I'm still laughing! and yes I do miss you when your not posting lol.
Ahh! Thanks you guys! I love getting comments but I have been a bad bad blog visitor the last 2 weeks so I have no room to ask for anything. But it touches me when someone says they miss me when I'm not here. Made my day as all your comments always do.
Love the new piece! And the collage sheets are awesome.
Your Ode to the Dishrag made me laugh...great poem. Loved it!!
I too loved the open drawer pic...so beautiful!!

Wonderful digital work and I love the open drawer- symbolic and tempting!
wow, you wait one week and then all this?! your digital work is absolutely fabulous, as are your photographs and poems. worth waiting for:)
well, it's about time you posted woman! Love the new collages and I also find myself doing the digi thing...not a whole lot of time. And before trudi tells you, I did get in a car accident but I am fine. Just a really sore body. Hope by you posting means you will be around a little more, hint hint? Always enjoy hearing what is going on with you!
Marsha, I'm loving your digital pieces!!

Marsha - Love your new sheets and your art as usual is just stunning!
Well, what a fun visit I've had to your flickr, etsy, tank and here! So much eye candy - I am refueled and love how you always inspire me!
I think your latest sheets are fabulous Marsha - and we heard about the heat wave - strange weather patterns...
Marsha, your collage sheets are wonderful. It is so fun to use them in my art, I love them. Thanks so much. Have a good week-end. Lorrie
