This is what happens when I sketch without thinking.
Not much explanation for this sketch really. I am having major difficulties staying focused...MAJOR difficulties!! So I finally decided to sit down and do something I haven't done in a while....sketch in a sketch book. This is the first thing that came out.

The Artistically Frustrated Poem
It's tough to decide what art to make next.
Maybe some clarity will come with this text.
From painting, to sewing, to hand sculpting clay,
and the list just goes on, its a very wide array.
So I sit down in my studio and start something new.
And soon in my head there are more ideas too.
Almost like seeing lots of things at a mall.
Feeling undecided, you get nothing at all.
I can't seem to focus on anything for long.
More ideas keep coming and soon time is gone.
Tonight I sure wish that I had me a guide
to hold me in place and to help me decide.

Craft night with Grace
Being creative every day is a really fun job but after a while I have a tendency to feel like my work is getting "stale." I invited a gal pal of mine over, 11 year old Grace for a fun night of crafting. Not only did we get to catch up, but I gained a refreshing sense of inspiration. And I think in the end Grace had fun too :)
We made fun little figurines out of clay to turn into magnets. I loved the idea of brightening up my refrigerator and Grace was excited to have something new for her bedroom.
After sculpting Grace popped our pieces in the oven to bake. Then we put in a movie while we waited.
After they were baked and cooled, it was time to paint. Grace made a turtle and peanut butter and jelly
....I think it was inspired by my beta fish, "Peanut Butter & Jelly"...he was watching us work.
My refrigerator looks much more fun and we had a blast doing it! :D
