Thats me laterly.

Well at least yesterday evening I actually got my sewing machine out and started trying some stuff out that I intended to try.

Why is it that I am afraid to experiment with new stuff when this should be fun and when it is actually what I want to do?

Maybe it is the same as the fear of that blank page and fear of messing it up or not being able to achieve anything of worth.

What do you think?

I have it, too. I see all those pretty real papers I buy, and I don't want to mess them up. I like the way they look on the shelves, but that is not their purpose. They should be used! I'm working on it!

You know, I don't have that problem any more.... Okay stop, I'm not trying to be a jackass. For so many years, I always felt that "my" art was not good enough. I have a father that when he wanted to he could be a very gifted artist. Not good for a child who was always struggling to be prefect. I gradually withdrew from creating art. Oh I still had a camera in tow but didn't try much beyond the normal stuff. Quirkland has given me a new awakening. I no longer worry about does my art meet someone else's standard. I only worry about making myself happy. So I guess my recommendation is to toss your worries out the window for the birds to feed on. And, make art for yourself!

PS... is part of the magic of creating art the little trills and heart skips that go on inside us while we get it all out?

Thanks, Bonnie! That is wisdom!
