It can't hurt to ask....

Picture



​
​I am a firm believer in asking for what I need. How can anyone know that you are in need if you don't say anything? I also taught my kids from a young age to ask for what they needed because you never know. The worst case is that they would get told NO but what if they actually got a YES. You just don't know what the answer will be until you ask the question or make the request.

With the continued construction and popularity of the sea glass Christmas trees I make I found myself running out of sea glass. So with that principal in mind I decided to have a container at my market display with a sign saying sea glass donations gratefully accepted.  Many of my friends around the village brought me sea glass, some as few as just a couple pieces from their walk that day; others with bags of sea glass they had collected but never got creative with.  I happily sorted all that glass and began to see my containers become full once again. I recently received this big donation of sea glass so today will be a day of sorting it into the respective containers.

I am most grateful to everyone who supports me in my artistic endeavors.

    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.
