Oh my sweetums…something SO ECXITING is happening in Arty Life Land. Yes, EXCITING!
It’s called Comment Luv.
Allow me to explain. Those of you who already know about CL, well…go put on a cuppa tea or something. But do come back to look at the pictures. The rest of you gather round because I have something to tell you. Important something.
It’s about sharing your luvvv on Arty Life. And building community. You know that comment box down below, the one that encourages you to share your two cents? Some of you do, some don’t. And that’s okay. I love you all, even when you read ‘n run.
But now if you write a comment and click on the Comment Love box right under the little box you write your comment in, you do that and this AMAZING little plugin will dash over to your blog, retrieve the link from your latest post and invite readers to check it out.
Comment Luv will put in a plug for you right here on my blog!!! Should I repeat that? RIGHT HERE!!! Is that a community builder or what?
So be sure to leave a comment.
And now, YO! Tea drinkers– come back and check out what I made this weekend.
I began with a work in progress that had been languishing, languishing, on a shelf. This is acrylic, by the way.
Got all finger painty until I read the label on Golden’s liquid Bone Black. The label that said blah blah blah cancer. So I washed my hands and put on gloves.
And then I cut up paper. Threw on some more color and began writing with a regular graphite pencil. Just because I could.
More paint. More writing. More stuff. This is not the final version. But you have to wait to see that. I’m writing a guest post for Michele Bergh and the painting will be part of it. I’ll let you know when it happens.
And now I think I’m going to sit back and have a cuppa tea.
CommentLuv – now where do you find these things? lol
Love your mixed media piece – and looking forward to seeing it completed. Agggh – every thing causes cancer! Glad you donned a glove though.
xxoo

After all the years of licking brushes (only tiny ones!), dunking them in tea (by accident), and wearing my paint…well, I guess the glove might fool some of my DNA. Or not, lol.
Now I’m off to read your latest post! xoxo
Susan, Oooooh, do you know how to use color to bring things to life! I look forward to seeing the next phase of your piece. And, I’ve got commentluv, too, really enjoy having it!
Janet, you’ll see it when I guest post for Michele.
This is my first experience with Comment Luv on the blog. It’s so cool. I already went to Judy’s last post and said hi. 🙂
I love what you have started and am anxious to see the finished art.

I’ll write a post and include the link to the finished piece, Teresa. 🙂
Hi Susan Ive been a “read n run” lurker for some weeks & I hear ya on the languishing thing!!! I think I found you via my new online art pal Rachel Ellen Andrews!? Ive been enjoying your posts about your studio, (my little one was built this year too) really great to see your stones going on.
I do enjoy seeing the evolvement of your work. I also do Soulful art via journalling (& larger canvases) on shadow self, connection and inner development. Im yet to share my journal work with a wider audience.
Funny you should mention community, are you familiar with Sarah Robinson? Shes just launched a book on fierce loyalty and community building!
I have never used commentLUV before!!

Hi Melanie, Thanks for stopping by! Lured out of the cyber woodwork with Comment Luv, eh? Ah, it’s a GOOD thing.
I just ran over to you blog. OMG, that poem you linked to is amazing. Thank you for sharing that.
When you’re ready to open your work to the rest of the world let me know. I’d love to see it.
Now I’m going to go check out Sarah Robinson’s book. xo
I love the painting! How do you get this comment luv on your blog, I want it on mine.

Oops I guess it didn’t work for my blog luv 🙁
Hmmm…it didn’t? It’s a wordpress plugin which means you have to have a wp blog to install it on. But I would think it would work for retrieving links. Did you fill out your blog addy in the field that asked for it? You do that first, fill in your name, blog and email in the required fields for posting, write your comment while CL fetches the link. You’re welcome to try again.
I hope it works for you!
Yay for comment luv. I still haven’t installed it, but it’s on my never ending list of to dos. Your art piece looks so cool, can’t wait to see your post on Michele’s blog now. How wonderful!

Only some colors, Jennifer. You may not have to suit up for the ones you use. Should say on the label.
