This is how I feel this morning. My ankle started hurting yesterday. All the walking from the local festival and the state fair have not been kind. I will be taking it easy for a day or two. Maybe spending time in the studio/garage will be the answer to healing.

I love reading blogs and being inspired creatively by others. The ones I read are mostly by women. The list is very eclectic. Jewelry, fabric, and fine artists are all on the list. Then there are the junkers and re-doers. I love them all. Time flies and I find I have used up all my allotted computer time and left little time for my own blogging. I might get better at this if I started here first. I also feel guilty if I am inspired by another artists work. I always think if only I had spent more time creating I might have gotten here on my own without a short cut inspiration from someone else. Do any other artists/craftsmen feel that way?



Doing is way better than not doing and I feel sometimes I am truly unique in approaches to art. Because I am not a traditional realism artist I don't copy images in another medium but reinterpret the idea of the image with random materials. When i am take a lighthearted approach to playing my stuff/art just happens with joy. When I have the task of creating it is drudge work and just doesn't seem to make be cohesive. Does this make any sense to anyone but me?

Girls just want to have fun.....

  1. I get it. Like my negative space project. It didn't work at all. I'll probably take it to the club meeting, but it is a huge flop.

  2. I hope you feel better soon. It may be rainy next week, may be a good time to work on your art inside ?
