craps gain, part two

Thank you, my sweet friends--and I do consider you friends. I certainly wasn't fishing for complements with my earlier post, but it is always nice to be encouraged by others who understand. When I started this little blog experiment, I knew it had to be real or what is the point doing it in the first place? And--as we all know too well--self doubt just comes with the territory. Anytime you push a vulnerable piece of yourself out into the world, it is likely to come back bruised. So, I move on. And we move on.

Kira reminded me of Keri Smith's Artist Survival Kit that helps you face your art demons with a sense of humor. Anahata Katkin also has some great thoughts on her website about the value and necessity of resistance in the whole creative process that you can read here. Sometimes just knowing that you are not the only one who has ever felt this way helps to put things into perspective.

I'm off to bed early tonight, which means before midnight. Tomorrow it is supposed  to rain so the forecast is good for a more productive day.

hey you!! that is a neat-looking page! I love those letter stamps. Who makes them? I don't think I have seen those before. Last night at my art group, someone had a copy of the lagacy that had your work on the cover. She was loving your work in that issue. I got to say, "I know her!"
