Dreams



I had a dream the other night about how I approach creating and sharing it with others. I think every artist at some point goes through a journey with the question of "If I am going to make to sell, what should I make?". The dream told me to be more confident, less shy and Let My Art Out.  If I follow my inspiration the right people will come to me. Before I had been thinking along the lines of what could I make that would sell. Doing so gave me creative cramps and a touch of anxiety. My process had been ass backwards. I have taken the advice of my dream and I feel so much better. I am also more productive.

Fiber Art and all things string are part of my vitality. Fiber touches everything we are in my eyes. Even the muscles in our bodies are fibrous. String people communicate the joy and love in living through the manipulation of threads. Fiber is intimate.

I will say that I am not the best writer and rarely take pleasure in it. I enjoy the communication with others, but writing itself is not my medium. A hand knit sweater or the wildness of a punk rock haircut are more my thing. This first entry is short and just a little test blurb. I have no experience with blogging but we all must start somewhere.
