once again I am encouraging myself to post to my own blog … trying to make a connection with my own way of thinking to create more art (be it photography, collage, quilting, paper-making or ???) , reminding myself that a following or response is encouraging … but not required.
I find myself spending too much time planning, procrastinating, playing repetitive games, doing anything, everything to sabotage my own efforts.
so, changing the focus of this blog a little bit will be my weekly (at the least) dedication to getting my thoughts out into the universe … looking for like souls that spend too much time dreaming of art work versus actually creating. funny stores from work and family, thoughts that come to mind and also the thoughts that keep me awake at nite … questions I ponder, and sometimes the answer I am still trying to find the right question for.
today at work I came up with the following notes for myself
to stop buying books and magazines that I’ll only read and not create from, same thing with supplies, paint, ephemera, etc etc that I’ll only collect and not create with.
to go work in my ‘office/art space’, to clean & organize the space, create, clean again, create more
to give myself weekly challenges so that I create something, learn something, do some more creating and continue learning
to accept the fact that my art doesn’t have to be perfect, I’m not going for the million $ sales, I simply want to make art for my heart and soul and to create. I’d also like to share my art learning with my grandchildren, inspiring not only myself, but inspiring them as well … maybe I can remember what it’s like to laugh when creating my art.
crowning glory
