Making music is a labour of love, making money is a by-product.

In a perfect world we would give all our music away for free and survive on touring revenue, merchandising and licensing income. Alas this is not always possible. In order to eat we have to sell a few CD’s. The good news is that much of our catalog has been released under this creative commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0 We have made many Antiqcool songs free to download for a reason, we want you to sprea… Continue

workshops and travel!

Have been trying to upload an image to go with this blog but therre is an error on the page! I've had a really busy few weeks with talks and workshops. Perhaps the most exciting for me was teaching at the Embroiderers Guild HQ at Hampton Court. We stayed at Horley (22 miles away) where I had been speaking the night before. The first morning it took two and a half hours to get to Hampton Court. The traffic was aweful. The next day it only took 45 minutes!!!! I did the same bowls workshop at Winch… Continue

Dear Producers

Generation of Lost Stories: Hello, I’m Doris Anne Beaulieu. The lagging economy has made going to the movies one of the best entertainment sources that many families can afford. The box office numbers clearly show us that it fits the consumer’s needs and desires for entertainment despite the tight economy. That tight economy, however, has shown another side to that coin that the movie industry needs to look at and hopefully respond to so that we don’t end up with a generation of lost stories. We… Continue

Apologies

I'm spending a little time today offering my apologies to all my Ning groups. I joined a few groups in a fit of enthusiasm then found I couldn't devote as much time as I'd hoped to them, also found it hard to navigate and answer people, as a result I haven't been checking in or (even worse!) answering all your lovely comments. I've been having problems with my hands this year, and pain has kept my creativity to a very low level. If you've written a note to me here, please accept my sincere ap… Continue

Please Join Me!

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by. Since I am a harried, lost my sanity, art obsessed single mom, there is no way I can keep up with more than one blog. I have a hard enough time keeping up with one! Truth is, between three cats, three kids, my art, and a turtle, I have a hard time just shaving my legs! I'm sure that has nothing to do with me moving the shaving cream from the bathroom to my studio... Please feel free to visit The Quee… Continue

Ribbon Fairy

I particularly loved this challenge. I was able to use up all my little bits of ribbon that were laying around. Templates were offered for wings and faces; though we of course could make our own. She is about 4.5 inches tall and very colorful. Continue

Pepsi or Coke?

Another challenge was an altered bottle cap challenge. We needed to decorate three bottle caps and assemble them into a usable piece of art. I had some precious rose petals that I did want to do something special with. So I cooked them up (the fragrance was heavenly) and used a binder so they would stick… Continue
