what's in a name?

i've been visiting hundreds of blogs since the start of owoh

and have noticed many people wondering about

how their blog got it's name

most of my regular bloggers are friends ,

so they know the answer or i've never asked

my website is all pulped out

i've always loved paper and started making

papier mache in the early '90's

i was making a lot of home decor items and

was enjoying it very much

i made my own pulp, sculpted each item, added wire ,

painted or decoupage

by '96 i was attending a huge craft show

and needed to make a ton

so i invited all my girlfriends to my house for a "margarita" party

and asked them each to bring a blender

well before you knew it, drinks and pulp where flying everywhere

at the end of the nite i was taking a break

and one of my friends said

"hey, get back to work" and i replied "i'm all pulped out"

and she said "that's it! that's your name!"

since then my art has evolved , working on collage,

mixed media ,assemblage and jewelry

i've taken many classes, here in toronto, at

art and soul , and art unraveled

so when i started my blog i called it

the evolution of nancy

lately i've been concentrating on my digital work and encaustic

i promised on my owoh giveaway that i would make 150 art cards

and something special for all my followers

well, out came the paper and i started to collage again

i'm so happy to be knee deep in paper and covered with glue!

the above is one of a series called "countries roads"
