Wear some Flowers!

Ways to cheer yourself up. I wish I could do this with my hair, I have to make do with a flower or two pinned to my shirt. Perhaps I just haven't quite got the technique right. Speaking of which, I am struggling with my materials, I think the paper I am using isn't helping, but I am also doing battle with getting the structure of my drawings to work properly. I think more time would help - I seem to be rushing about getting other things done and am really rather nervous about managing a picture every day once I get back to school next week. Planning is going to be tricky. I did say some of these pictures might end up being design scrawls for my jewellery, and/or doodles as I think around my ideas. Perfectionist tendencies begone! Give some room to yourself for playfulness, fun even.

Keeping All Your Balls in the Air


The beginning of the academic year is about to begin for me - if you can call the jewellery course I attend academic - and suddenly there are all sorts of things to be thinking about. There is a large area of mundane things that need attention as well, there are so many things I prefer to spend time on, and several areas creatively, as well as planning to make a little more income from my sales of glass and jewellery. So many things ticking away in my brain. This is the way I like to function, plenty to keep the little grey cells busy, and the playful creative part of me getting lots of opportunity to play too.
