I'm getting back to it....

Picture



​I took some time off over the holidays but I think I'm about to get back to it. I haven't been feeling the urge to do any art which is very unlike me. I usually have some art happening every day! I know I need to replenish my supply of sea glass cards and I need to get some Valentine's Day cards ready but knowing it and doing seem to be 2 different things for me lately.

However I have had this idea floating around in my head and today seems to be the day I'm going to try it. Any of you that follow my art endevours know that I recently started making sea glass bowls. It was a fun project and people seem to like them so I decided to take that idea one step further. I have lots of interesting shells, some whole and some just pieces so I'm going to try to make a sea shell bowl. I might even do 2 as I have these pieces pictured here which are small to medium sizes which are what I'm going to start with. But then I also have some really small ones, mostly entire shells and I think they would make a really cool bowl I'm just not sure I will have enough of them. After my first bowl I'll spread out my smaller shells and see if I have enough for a bowl. Watch for a future blog with the results of my attempt.

    Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

    It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.
     
    In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram ​from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

    In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.
     
    So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
    ​"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!
     
    I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
