So I have actually been busy as of late working on things....also setting up my Etsy shop. Oh yes, believe it or not...an Etsy shop. Over a year ago I started on small craft like projects to get me motivated to do art once again. So I sewed, painted and crafted my way to getting to the meat of doing real work again....so I have bins of things I have made, from plush toys, jewelry, masks and other things just to get my creative juices flowing. It has been a long hard process for me after my fire I lost my way in life a bit....I think when I lost all my work, equipment and everything I owned I lost a big part of how I identified myself as an artist..and something in me sort of died in that fire. Yet in a good way too, a lot of baggage was left behind with that fire, and it also gave a new rebirth on how I see and interpret things...although its taken almost five years to get to this point, I honestly wouldn't change it for anything. I was able to shed a lot of inhibitions that prevented me from growing as a person and an artist...I have just had to find my way back to core of me that makes me a creative person. The part of me that has been there all along, since I was a young child drawing at a very young age....the passion is back, and oh how I have missed it, and am so pleased to find it once again. Its like peace has been restored to my soul.
OK all that being said, I am still working on the painting with the girl and the birds...but I am really enjoying these small drawing/paintings I am doing....I have a story behind them from where I got the ideas from, but I will let that reveal itself as time goes by, so just for now, enjoy what I am starting to create as I am....
And as its finished, I promise I will take a better photo, than an instigram photo...although, I am so addicted to instigram now!!
