New Stuff (Maybe)

Do you ever start playing around with things trying to get what's in your mind onto the page or into the painting or the clay or glass or whatever, and wonder,"What the heck am I doing?" You set out with a goal in mind and end up taking so many different paths to get there that you wonder if the end was really what you wanted to begin with. Does that make sense? I mean, we all do it. There are so different paths we can take and so many exciting things to see and try that when we reach our destination the end isn't really as exciting as we anticipated. It was the journey that was the really awesome part.

It's funny really. I started out with and idea this week. I had these small little frames that I really wanted to do something with. Something a little different. So I began to create. One night I was looking at some clay pieces I had been working on and thought,"This would be pretty cool in those little frames." So I got them out and a couple days later I had this:








Not yet completed but interesting, right? I think I might be on to something......



Then as I played I came up with these little guys:



Well, the creative journey is interesting and never ending. Thinking about listing some of these on Etsy. What do you think? I have some dragons I think I may try....

Oh ya, what the heck am I doing?!
