If Only I Could...

Create. Make something. Stop throwing out everything I try. Made the piece above for a round robin book dealy thingie...made it in hopes of spurring myself because I've been dreaming a lot these days...but can't seem to wake up and do it! I'm naming the last few weeks my "Days of Shame." Days of turning wheels but no forward motion...days of yearning for sanity and a little time for not just dreaming but the creating to go with it...hmmmmm, actually, a camera would be nice, too! The one I was using was okay...did the job...and now, gone...slipped through my fingers, literally, and now, bye-bye camera! Whaaaa!!! Please stand by while I take this whining and tantrum break. Oh wait...that was part of my Days of Shame. Okay, tantrum over, whining finished. Hopefully the wilderness will be gone soon.

Has anyone else felt dry and uninspired? I'm reading all my favorite art blogs and the ebb and flow of inspiration is soooo interesting to me. Some of those artists can just go to town and I admire, nay, marvel at their superhuman powers to not only dream up art pieces, but pump them out like crazy...and every last piece is superbly done and photographed and blogged. It is marvelous to get out of my own world and travel to see what others are doing...how I love blogland. Thanks, you all, for the reassurance that art is still happening. I love it all!!!! And if there is anyone out there whose neurons are firing overtime, maybe you could send some spare energy my way...I could use a jump start!!

Ohhhhhhhh....so sorry! I hate when that happens...maybe you are supposed to be working in a different way right now - traveling around getting ideas - researching a new technique - reading - maybe you can get some inspiration that way?? It will return, my friend, with a vengance, so look out :)
