And I promised three more weeks, didn't I? Just to celebrate my one year blog anniversary. This week's giveaway : hand dyed floss and a piece of hand dyed fabric-maybe linen but it is nice and soft. (It is 13 x44.)
Just enter your name on THIS post and let me know if you set weekly goals for your art or you just let it happen. I will pick a winner next Friday .
Thanks for all those who got me through one of my first (ok maybe second or so) artist's crisis. I have returned to smiling and moving forward.
Be creative, my friends! And have a good weekend.
Oooh! Those would be perfect for my Dorothy Caldwell workshop next spring.
ReplyDeleteYay! Crisis over! Keep the faith (in yourself)!
Thought I would say hi today :) Glad you are feeling confident about the direction your art and blog are going. Hope you have a good rest of the weekend.

I can't seem to set goals for myself as far as art is concerned unless there is a deadline. I have set a goal for my watercolor class though of 4 paintings each week (guess that qualifies as a deadline). So far I've done ok with a few extras, but with company coming, we'll see how I finish up the last 2 weeks. I need to have peace and quiet so I can relax and work with no pressure. So that usually means painting at night after the house is quiet and I've settled down from the day.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have "sunny" you back.
elena-you lucky person with another trip there!
ReplyDeletejeana-hello! Confident? ...mmm...well maybe braver than I was last week.
Lynne-I'd definitely say that was a goal. You will want to play with the baby not the paints I think.
Colleen, Where did you get those floss holders? I sure could have used them when I was dyeing pearl cotton not too long ago. I spent a lot of time detangleing since I just carefully dunked my skeins in the dye.
ReplyDeleteI don't have weekly goals, but more of an overall vision of what I want to get done. Right now I am in the middle of getting pieces done and prepped for the exhibit I am hanging at the local library branch so I am working on something every day after work. I will admit if I do take the time to plan I am more realistic about what I can actually get accomplished, but most of the time I just wing it!
I forgot to say I am excited about the sketch pad, pen and case that I won in your last week's drawing. Please don't include me in this weeks drawing so someone else gets a chance to win the wonderful fabric and threads.
ReplyDeletePatty- I have picked them up at any of the large craft stores-Michael's or JoAnne's. I took a class online by Melanie Testa at Joggles and I think she suggested it. I rinse them on the bows and just squeeze out the water with a paper towel and let them dry. Your package will be in the mail in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of dyeing pearl cotton.
ReplyDeleteI might set weekly goals, but I tend not to follow through. So my goal is to follow through with my goals.
