I enjoyed the chuckle in this post of 'trying to peel a potato with a butter knife'. I think I've been guilty of that sort of thing for sure. So you were asking about 'mindset'.... I'm not trying to get too perfect, but I get down on myself for not making more time to do art. But, I think I need to get more realistic about all of my responsibilities and lower my expectation for how much time I can devote to art. Then I can unload the "guilt" of not doing more and enjoy what I can fit in. Thanks for making me pause to consider this.

Hope you have a beautiful Valentine's day.

I have a lot of trouble planning and can't plan until I get a brush in my hand - after that, it's all oopps, should have done the other first. Because of you, I may be able to get a handle on my slippery thoughts. Thank you mucho.<br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307416171448669863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-24799824243896926792016-02-10T12:50:06.251-05:002016-02-10T12:50:06.251-05:00Wow, Laure, what a thought-provoking post!

Memorializing the moment has been my goal, but I haven't taken the time to understand what that means in terms of practical application. Thanks for the a-ha moment today!SusanAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752628219836145623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-47481672792225900992016-02-10T12:39:49.900-05:002016-02-10T12:39:49.900-05:00Nice post.

While I am not an artist in the sense of sketching, I could use your initial thought on my default mindset when I began to create a piece of fashion. I never thought of this before, but a lot of things to do impact your creativity process! Thank you so much for this thought provoking post, I will use it going forward to remind myself of what I'm thinking before I start my creative process. Good luck on your imaginary trip to Norway!Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359520837946001668noreply@blogger.com
