I gave out some advice to a friend on Facebook this morning.
It was about getting artsy things done and with all the other distractions (internet, chores, Pinterest, Facebook etc.) it's really hard to get anything done for ourselves because we have so many things pulling us in so many directions.
I told her to turn off the TV, do a few chores -- then do something in her studio -- just for herself -- even if it was JUST for a few minutes.
Well, I decided to follow my own advice -- and spent a few minutes in my new art journal making this page from bits of collage pieces I've been saving. It really looks much better in person, but I love what it says to me!
The message from my heart today is -- are you gettin' what I'm puttin' out there? ha ha! Well, that's all -- lots of fun things keeping me busy today -- hope you have a great weekend. Thank you for stopping by, catch you next week.
How very true, we do have an option in what we allow into our lives and what we choose to focus on and creativity can feel so good !
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice...wish I could do that now but I'm being held captive by my job...LOL! Soon you'll be giving me that advice ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy. I did take your advice & went to my studio area and just started working. I made 5 Valentine cards for family & friends. I prepped a few journal pages & I did a bit of doodle work while waiting to meet a friend. A bit of art and a friend with some great advice - I'm blessed! Love the piece you did. Thank again!
ReplyDeleteWow-was you listening to my heart aches too....so love this and needed to hear it as well...so love your creative spirit..hugs
ReplyDeleteGreat advice. Love your page!
ReplyDeleteI love those spur of the moment art urges, they are the most creative for me. Marvellous advice, and I'm going to do it more often. Your page is awesome, I like looking at the different stamping you've used and how you move the paint around the page. Thanks for sharing. Michelle x
