Just right there is about one third of my fifteen items.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I knew when I get back from hiking it will be easy to find more items and sure did in my other hat collections.<br />

<br />
<br />
I then switched to belts and scarves and just like that I have the fifteen items in no time. <br />

<br />
This process is doing wonder for my psyche and if you are on the fence, give it a try with one or two or five items. Trust me it does wonder for the soul!<br />

It has been a great 2014 and I shared half of it with you with my blogging before I stopped cold mid year. I must confess, the trip to South Africa was awesome and so many things to share that I was rendered helpless as to the best way to blog about it. This helplessness led to inaction and the partial post never completed. I look forward to it completion and posting in the near future!</div>

In the past I have made resolution with my key "one word" but this year, I am trying to face a weakness of mine. This is really big for me to be transparent about this problem ...that is letting go of things. I must confess, I have a common artist disease of keeping items with intentions of incorporating into my art. This condition has boiled over to other areas of my life and everything I have, I visualized artistic usage for it hence keeping it for future use.</div>

God only knows when that will be so recently I was inspired by Tracy Verdugo purging of 10 items a day. She was doing this for about a month and that go me thinking! As part of my new year resolutions I will be letting go 15-items and do it for 30 days and hopefully extend it further. </div>

I challenged you in joining me in letting go. The item(s) could be 1 , 2, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 21, 25, using number combinations from 2015! Chime in, would love to hear from you and let us be supportive of each other!</div>

April was a busy month in the studio with getting ready for Redlands Festivals of Arts. I was able to implement ideas I had sketched and toyed with while in Nigeria. A series of Ancestral Beauty Masks along with "I Heart You" series were in full blown production.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With all these burst of creativity, the first event I entered was the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheFestivalNOS?fref=ts" target="_blank">Nation Orange Show (NOS) </a>juried art exhibit. I entered two pieces in the show, one in the citrus category and the other in open category. Both were juried in and during the reception I discovered that my Citrus -Themed entry won "Purchased Award". This will make it the second piece from me that is now in the permanent collection of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheFestivalNOS?fref=ts" target="_blank"><b>National Orange Show</b></a>...Woo Hoo!<br />

I am very thankful for all the recognitions given to me. These awards are very important to me because it solidify my being a "MULTI-MEDIA" artist! The "Purchase Award" was for "Sunshine Glory" a photo etching with utilization of solar plate. The fourth place award for "Attitude" which is a mixed media medium, while my Honorable Mentioned award was for my enamels. It was full circle awards!<br />

After the studios visit, Mr. Alabi took me on tour of the arts department at <a href="http://portal.yabatech.edu.ng/index.php" target="_blank">Yaba College of Technology</a>, my very short alma mater in the late 70's ( I know I just dated my self), this was where I learned how to type! We met up with senior professor of the department, <a href="http://portal.yabatech.edu.ng/staffprofile.php?page=null&id=AD/R/S.1174" target="_blank">Mr. Aderinsoye</a>; Textile Principal Technologist Mr. Adeyemo and former Dean Noserime <span class="st">Rukeme</span>. Most of the departments were on the quiet side due to current teachers protest. <br />

We left Yaba Tech with a quick stop at College of Vocational Education where I met some of Mr. Alabi's contemporaries. Mr. Alabi then invited me to attend their "Artists Link" meeting and wanted my insights as they strategized and plan their next trip to California. <br />

One of the things I love to paint is figurative painting and I am challenged figure drawing. In order to get better I need more practice. The opportunity to do this came from a free offering of Life drawing at one of our local university...University of Redlands. <br />

I was so determined to make it to the first session of 2014 that I cut short my gym time and it was worth it. I was feeling excited at the same time apprehensive. It has been over two years since the last time I did life drawing! Here are some of the outcome...don't judge me!! <br />

Hello blog world! How I missed you so. It has been too long...I took the time off with the intention of exploring other avenues. One of the avenue I explored was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AdeolaStudio" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and it became my venue for social media interaction. While I enjoyed exploring Facebook, it is not the same as blogging and I have come to the realization that they are both valid in their own right! This break is a sort of unplanned sabbatical from blogging. What have I done this past year? I have learned a lot and participated in many wonderful events. Here is a recap of my journey to get the year on a roll. <br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">One of the biggest highlights of 2013 for me was my participation with five other artsts; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Joanna-Mersereau/92395388817" target="_blank">Joanna Mersereau</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/terryd.chacon?fref=ts" target="_blank">Terry d. Chacon</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/patriciaroseford?fref=ts" target="_blank">Patricia Rose Ford</a>, Dan Soury and Tim Colbert titled :Studio Tour 6. I was excited when we started the planning and as we got closer to the date, doubts crept in due to stress and other mind games. Even though it was a lot of work, it allowed me to showcase works that I have not shown before and have not been seen as a collective series. Open studio was well received and can't wait to start planning the next one. I received so many positive comments and even inspired few artists friends who came and started thinking about setting up their studio!!</span></span></span></span><br />

Now with Orange Aid, this summer I was selected as one of the hundred participating artists to paint a fiber glass orange with each artist's artistic license.<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Invitation;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Invitation; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.riversideartalliance.org/orangeaid.htm" target="_blank">Art Alliance</a> OrangeAid Benefit is a celebration of "Art Oranges" inspired by the Giant Orange Artventure. </span></div>
I picked up my blank white fiber glass orange in June and it sat in my studio for months with no action. I generally gave it stares every time I passed by. One week became months with no action and before you know it now two and half weeks before due day and it is time to bunker down and get it done.<br />
<br />
Here is the journey of a white fiber glass orange evolving with my artistic take on it!<br />

Over 100 oranges painted by local artists were matched with sponsors to raise much needed fund for <a href="http://www.riversideartmuseum.org/" target="_blank">Riverside Art Museum</a>!!! It was an awesome experience and opportunity to be part this fundraising event. <br />
The oranges were exhibited at the museum and on November 9th at the sponsor gala reception, they were matched with the sponsors in a blind drawing. I am happy than my orange was matched with Security Bank of CA...yeah!!!<br />

That opportunity came this past weekend. Eighteen artists and art supporters gathered last Friday for the bus ride to Ensenada. The travel was full of adventure from start to finish. I was privileged to have work in the two exhibits mounted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/riversidecommunity.artsassociation" target="_blank">Mark Schooley, Riverside Community Art Association Director.</a> Mark solo show at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TerraPeninsular" target="_blank">Terra Peninsular</a> along with "Nature's Way, showcasing works by Plein Aire Painters of Riverside.<br />
The first reception was Friday night at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hotel-Riviera-del-Pac%C3%ADfico/182285815136446?sk=wiki" target="_blank">Galeria de la Ciudad in the Riviera Cultural Center</a>. "The Celebaration of Goddesses" a triptych was part of this "The Road of Art" exhibit.<br />

I know that I need to do it but it is much harder when I get down to doing it...I have resolved to shedding bit by bit instead of all at once. I know I will feel much lighter and better once this process is complete. Do any of you go thru similar feelings? <br />
I am anxious to get this all done and start enjoying the dedicated spaces for each of my artistic endeavors! More to come when done!<br />

Riding high on the past two days workshops and evening activities, I was ready for day three workshop. Making dolls is one of the creative process I like to do for my personal enjoyment. Today's workshop is with <a href="http://coppercrowstudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tory Brokenshire</a> and it is all about Beautiful Santos, with your personal stamp on it. This fantastic workshop allows the use of several mediums to create the Santos. We had to deconstruct a porcelain doll and the head was re-sculpted to give it our personal character. Once the doll was beheaded we proceeded to use sculpey clay to sculpt the face and give it adult features and decides on the gender, then off to the oven for good baking!.<br />

We worked on the Santos clothing, sewing the gathered skirt since the doll is 30 inches tall. The skirt is then layered with more fabrics. Once the head is done baking, it was time to paint and apply washes to aged the Santos. My Santos is dress in fabric of African design and she looks like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moremi" target="_blank">"Moremi"</a> statue from Nigeria with lots of character! <br />

The workshop started with me expecting seven students but had three more sign-up within 24 hours. I was so happy I had extra copper and other supplies on hand to get them situated. <br />
The students were eager to learn and awesome pieces were created and so proud of what they were pumping out with no <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: purple;">enameling experiences</span></b></span>. Here are some of their creations...<br />

Friday workshop was all about plaster, POP(plaster of paris), compound joint and plaster gauze. I have been excited about this class since I got the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Plaster-Studio-Mixed-Media-Techniques-Painting/dp/1440308152#reader_1440308152" target="_blank">Plaster Studio</a> by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%09%20%20%20%20%20%20http://www.stephanielee.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Stephanie Lee</a> & <a href="http://www.judywise.com/" target="_blank">Judy Wise</a>. As I handed my book to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%09%20%20%20%20%20%20http://www.stephanielee.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Stephanie</a> to sign, she shared the surprise of the day with us that we get not only her knowledge, but that of <a href="http://www.judywise.com/" target="_blank">Judy Wise</a>. That alone set the mood even more higher.<br />
<br />
I remember the first original I bought at vendors night of my first artfest was by <a href="http://www.judywise.com/" target="_blank">Judy</a> and here is another full circle feeling of meeting her at the last artfest as in Lynne Perella's...WOW!<br />

The work shop was called "Plaster Sampler" and I kid you not, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%09%20%20%20%20%20%20http://www.stephanielee.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Stephanie</a> made sure we got all the techniques. The were times I was overwhelmed with all the these techniques and trying to digest and chew the process. I love the extensive info of the wonderful things you could do with plaster, but lack of time to process them is what frustrated me to an extent!<br />

Lynne was so generous with her time, she offered to stay till 5:30 even though the workshop ends at 4:30. The offer was highly appreciated by all and several of us stayed to finish our piece. Good to say that I got out of there quarter to six!<br />
<br />
I explored the ruined of the hidden small fort by the building and took some lovely pictures. Here are few of the pictures I took:<br />

The activities for the evening was Wine & Cheese Journaling in the Commons and Beach Bonfire Journaling Party. We headed to the beach bonfire first and walked instead of taking the shuttle. I am so glad we walked because it was so much fun twirling in Carrie's tutu,and the candle light walk back to the dorms.<br />

We had hot dog and s'mores cooked over the bonfire and then settled down to some journaling on the 1000 journal project books that were left on the tables for people to express in. I worked on two pages incorporating the finger techniques of Jesse Reno and Portfolio oil pastels technique of Lynne Perrella.<br />

I met up with my <span class="misspelled">car mates</span> at
the airport, we all got our <span class="misspelled">luggage's</span> but <span class="misspelled">Jennifer’s</span> never made it to <span class="misspelled">Seattle</span>. Despite waiting for two <span class="misspelled">airplane</span> arrivals to see if her luggage was on it, she
finally asked the airline to deliver her <span class="misspelled">luggage</span>
to her at the fort once it is located. It
was not a great feeling or experience to go <span class="misspelled">thru</span> but
I assured her that all will be well and she will be fine in the <span class="misspelled">spirit</span> of <span class="misspelled">artfest</span> and from
my past experience of how kind and giving people are! Happy to say she got her <span class="misspelled">luggage</span> the next day and her supply boxes made it to
