Some of you “Northern Reflections” readers may not even know that for some time this blog has had a sidekick with more of the same, titled “Northern View”. Since “Northern View” was kind of an unnecessary afterthought, I have changed it’s complexion and focus.
From now on http://northernview.wordpress.com/ will have the same URL, but a new common name: “The Messy Palette . . . for dabblers and lovers of art”. You can access this site via its URL, or by GOOGLING “The Messy Palette”. “The Messy Palette” will feature my adventures, and hopefully encourage readers to share news of their artsy activities and ideas. So much fun!
Although I’m currently elbow deep in watercolors, acrylics, and mixed medium collages and have a lot to share on those topics, the door on my revamped site will swing many ways to include discussion of various kinds of art—from oils and pastels to decoupage, textile arts, jewelry, baskets, pottery, metal sculptures, you name it.
So, if you have a few moments after reading “Northern Reflections”, feel free to move on for a glimpse of “The Messy Palette”.

Note: As a lifetime writer, I used to take issue with the old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Now I’m beginning to believe it! 🙂
Really looking forward to what’s in store for us on your “new” blog. Will it be funky, fun, beautiful, pull at the heartstrings, or maybe, all rolled into one!
Have fun, Margaret!!!!!!!
Hi, Linda. I’d love for you to email me photos of some of your creations–fiber, paint, or whatever. There are so many fun ways to go with the artsy focus! 🙂
Hi, I just stumbled upon your blog and I LOVE this so much! This is such a fun piece of artwork.
