And...
Of course....
I am scared. I always get this way when I haven't been able to touch it for a while. It is like you know when you haven't rode a bicycle in a while you wonder if you can really do it. Logically you know it will come back. But that....aniexty before actually peddling the pedals is there. And that is how I am with my art at the moment.
I have lots I can be doing. I have 2 art dolls sitting here just needing some final touches on one. I need to really get into the other. I have 3 tins primed. One started as a present. I have many canvas sitting here primed and ready to go and actually several things wrote down in my art journal on what I want to do with them. I had a couple book ideas floating around in my head too. Oh and I have 2 people approach me on commissioning works. It is just I am nervous....of what if I won't come out...what if they don't turn out...and all the what ifs that happen when I haven't touched things in a while.
So today I am taking the first step to get going. I am going to organize my art studio - but really it is a mess. And after I go through papers, paints, metal bits and pieces my fingers will ache to actually do something - at least that is how it has worked in the past.
Things on my list art related but not actual art: Set up Etsy shop, get sold pieces that were on sale off my website and new ones put up there and Etsy. I think I have some new pieces to upload too. I know that I never finished getting descriptions on each piece done on my website.
Oh and then reading that all through again...yep FEAR.
But I will get through it because I can't begin to express what art does FOR ME. These last few months of not being able to.....really affect my moods. I am much more balanced person when I able to create.
* I did that right after posting so that is done!

YAY! Am so glad that you are back to creating! I so know, dear friend how it is to be away from it and consumed instead in the mundande threads of day to day. Part of me always withers when I am unable to create.
Have been nursing broken fingers from a fall about a month ago, and have gotten in very little weaving. Arg!
Today am going to get out watercolors and see how painting goes instead. My beloved is off for a looooooooooong day so I have several hours and no cokking today. Will let you know if I actually accomplish anything :) Love to you and Michael. xoxoxo Jane
Oh Jane! I hope you are doing better! I haven't been to this blog in a while so didn't see your message sorry! Thinking you and your beloved....hugs to you!
