Rest

Ideally, rest is what comes after work. But we all know better.
No rest for the weary nor the wicked.
Idle hands and all that.
But we keep ourselves going, that looming weekend or vacation beckoning in the near or even far, distance.
Someday.
Rest.
Ahh, it is not to be.
Artists operate at a million frames per second. Each finished project seeds the ideas for at least a dozen more. It is up to us to fertilize and nurture those idea-lings into full fledged pieces of something grand.
That is why we do not rest.
The show is up. The virtual show is done. We've all traded the flu 'round several times and still do not rest.
There is nothing to be done, yet we do more. It is the human way.
Enjoy this virtual tour. Buy some art! Check back for online exclusives (we are still working on those, you know, instead of resting). And, we are proud to announce our first-ever LusciousGraciousContest*. Good Luck.
Now go get some rest!
*Contest
Own a piece of Luscious Gracious Studios! Just post a comment on any blog entry during the month of May, 2005. Leave us an e-mail to contact you and you may be a winner! Every time you leave a comment, you get an entry. On or around June 1, 2005 we will randomly draw a name. The winner will receive a FREE piece from the show. Luscious Gracious will decide what the prize will be. In the totally unlikely event that the show is a complete sellout (dare to dream), or just 'cause we feel like it, we will concoct something super special for our winner.

The desire bag came out AWESOME! I love the lining too. Your online show looks really amazing. Hope I win the contest....
Looks like mine was the first comment, huh?
Lily- I love how your sheer me sheep came out! It looks so cool with the color. I showed Max and he really liked the hat, especially.
Lucy- Your My Name is Lucy picture came out beautiful. I think it is so creative the way you put the words as the backgroud and the picture up front. Beautiful job!!!!
My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Ohhhh - I have to admit guys (and gals) you've outdone yourselves! The work is amazing and I found myself saying "oh I like this one the best" and then clicking on the next one and saying yet again "oh I like THIS one the best" and so on!! It's AMAZING!!!!
Ok have I told you how much I love your work?
I love the way you've used the photographs with the knitted items and the poetry! I just might need to own a piece of work for myself... now which one?
I was wondering - this is a cruel question to ask an artist but - which one is each of your favorites??
Steve - can you rub elbows with me... I really want to take pictures like that... and Kiki - Can you rub the other elbow with me - I want to knit like that... and my favorite knitters below 12... I just want to be like you gals!!!
Think I can out comment Illanna?? Hmmmmmm......
Hey - Illanna doesn't have a cat....
I think one of my favorites is Sunset Lace- Somehow the lace looks like a sunset to me!
OMG! OMG! I luv it I luv it I luv it! I'm reduced to a blubbering idiot.
I'm giving you a standing ovation, two thumbs up or whatever praise you artist will accept. I hope many people respond to your showing at Papa's and online. It's already a success in my eyes.
I like how Letoya called Steve's dad Papa. I just like the sound of that.
Today's pick of the day is fantastic. That's surely one of my favorites.
BTW is the pick of the day automatically scrolling or does Steve do that manually? Just wondering.
I updated my blog.
Oh gezzz... I can't be outdone - you all know how competitive I am....
I mean really - do you think I type any less than I talk?!?!
Hey Kiki - I can even type with one hand...hmmmmmmm
Ok - for those of you NOT at knitting the other night you might be thinking... ewe gross - what is she doing with that other hand....
But REALLY folks - get your mind OUT of the gutter - it's not that at all.... It's all about the thumbs!
"Shear Me!" Too Cute!
Hey, is the Murder print still available? I really like that one :(
