I’ve realized that I have been basing my value of productiveness largely on how much stuff I post on the internet. It shouldn’t be that way. I have a bunch of places that I post stuff, and lately there hasn’t been a great deal to put up and share anywhere. It is a bummer, but it isn’t true that I haven’t been productive.
I have been working on stuff for an upcoming craft show that I will be in next month. I am sharing a table with Erica and we did this last year too. I have been going to the gym everyday and feel so energetic. I’ve been actually keeping my apartment pretty tidy. I’ve also made several things that I don’t want to share before it arrives at its new home. There are just so many things I want to do and so little time in which to do them all.
The Rebars piece “Park(ing)” last year has exploded and people world-wide are creating parks in parking spaces. Now they have declared September 21st as Parking Day. Check this out, it is pretty cool.
Time to get back to work after a 6 day vacation. It was nice while it lasted. It was also a very productive few days, lollapalooza for 3 days and then I cleaned, organized and cleaned some more. Now my living and work space is much more conducive to production and I feel super inspired, just in time to get back to the 9 to 5.
Things I want to work on:
-Doll house for my doll house
-Postcards, as usual
-Finish that miniature book pattern pdf
-artomat, paint, paint, paint, paint
-yoyos
-spinning (finishing what’s on my wheel) and dying some fibers
-about a bajillion other things I can’t think of right now
I put two of my postcards up for sale at at my etsy shop. I really don’t know what I am doing, but I guess I will figure it out as I go. I guess I just feel really embarrassed, like “who do I think I am, that someone would want to buy any of artwork”
Anyway, the first one was also featured in the new online art zine What You Make It
so that is something to be proud of.
I guess I would appreciate any feedback, but use kid gloves, my skin is very thin, thanks. (x posted)
