TEAWINGS - An Artist's Notebook... bits of this and that...

Welcome Visitors:

This blog is about things that inspire me as an artist. My little virtual treasure box of thoughts and images that seem important to my life and work, which includes the use of vintage textiles. Romare Bearden said, "an artist must be like a fish who swims with his mouth open, taking in many ideas..."
There is a bevy of ideas linked to this site. So brew a cup of my favorite tea (recipe link here: http://www.teaandwings.com/TEA%20RECIPE.htm) and have a stroll. Please visit as long and often as you like, and send me notes about the things that inspire you. Blessings, Rosalind Nzinga

NEW TEAWINGS ROADTRIPS / PHOTOS

This summer I have a goal to visit a different place every week in the tri-state area (NJ, NY, CT, PA, and perhaps more...). Follow my explorations at: http://teawings.blogspot.com/search/label/Roadtrip or read about each town individually: Lambertville, NJ; Montclair, NJ; Nyack, NY; Wykoff, NJ; Savannah, GA;
Mercersburg, PA/Frederick, MD

See photo albums from some of those visits:
Greene, NY: antique/vintage shopping New York upstate at: http://www.teaandwings.com/TW_RT%20GREENE.htm

Lambertville, NJ / New Hope, PA: http://www.teaandwings.com/TW_RT%20LAMBERTVILLE.htm

PLUS:
Travel By Train: ...For me, train travel is "the only civilized means of travel." A lovely inexpensive way to observe and discover. Over the years I have learned a few tricks to make the ride feel like first class even if it is not.

A TEAWINGS Portfolio



Above are a few pages from my portfolio (old and new)...

(I am new to blogging and trying to find a good on-line slide program. SLIDE is ok. But I would prefer one that lets me have more control. Just want to share my art, and perhapes add a slide show to my website. Any suggestions?)

FAVORITE QUOTES FOR TODAY:


"My business is to create... It dosen't even matter what you do..."
from the movie "P.S. I Love You"

"I think perhaps education doesn't do us much good if it is not mixed with sweat."

-- Sayid (Barack Obama's uncle) from: "Dreams From My Father" p.380
...And, my life quote: "Teach [me] to number [my] days right, that [I] may gain a heart of wisdom... And yes, do establish the work of [my] hands."
Bible: Psalm 90:12, 17
