The past month . . .

It's been a chaotic past month with my husband's return, his continuing lies and his arrest for domestic violence. He is back doing shows with his dip woman. but enough about them.I think I have settled on a new name -- "Kay Mallery - Reflections." what do you think?I also did a local show with a setup I put together very quickly on a minimal budget. Got several compliments on the feelings of serenity and peace in the tent and I have posted a photo. Made my own necklace stands, used tablecloths I already had and snagged the $240 rug at Kohl's for $10 using a 30% coupon and birthday gift card when the rug went on sale.I have another local show in the works two weeks from now. If you'll notice the tent weights in the photo, they were probably over 60 lbs. each and unmanageable for me. I ended up giving them away and now need to make new ones. So happy to find the instructions on AFI!

  • Thanks to all of you for your kind wishes.
  • Is that your new set - up, the mauve/wine cloths with the floor covering and split drapes? If so, it is lovely and serene. I clicked on your icon and then hit photos - there were 2 of them. 

    Best of luck to you...I also know the journey, and you`ll do great!

  • love the name Kay..Best Wishes to you
  • More power to you!  Good luck!

  • Kay thank you for sharing yourself and your art. Like Elle I am a survivor of dm also and if I can ever help in any way, even just as a sounding board or pair of ears, lmk. Your work is definitely a reflection of who you really are at the center.
  • Annette, not sure where the photo went. I haven't gotten used to how this website works yet.
  • Well done Kay!  Onwards and upwards :D

    Where did you post a photo of your new serene set up?

  • Good for you, Kay.  Way to move on and be strong.  I like the name, too.  New name and a fresh start.  That is a winning combo.

  • I look forward to the on-going saga, "Days of our lives by Kay."

    Sex,lies, physical violence, while our heroine treks on looking for redemption at next art show.

    Will she be able to "pull her own weight?"

    I can't wait for the next installment.You go girl, and I mean this in a supportive way.  It is great to see some real life struggles being encountered rather than a lot of pablum we are spoon-fed daily.

  • Good for you, Kay. I like the name. I am proud that you are moving forward. As a survivor of domestic violence, I know firsthand how difficult it is to get away from that with your sanity intact. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.
