I am, as usual at this time of year, sewing costumes for my annual pilgrimage to "DragonCon". I'm not getting crazy, just putting together a few new pieces and revamping some old costumes.

I did however have a new vision for my mixed-media art and I'm hoping to start that within the next few weeks...and also hopefully getting a job.

That would be nice...*sigh*...a real job...that pays money.

*taps mic*

Helloooooo...testing 1-2-1-2...

*big sigh*

Well, it seems that magical spark has ebbed it's way back...it took a long time and I think only at this moment, I have the words to describe where I am.

I'm not going to go into the depths of the past 4 years...they were dark and cold...but now, I realize...that I'm not going to focus on my Art as a financial gain, but as something that I LOVE to do.

When I started doing my work, I did it because it was a wonderful creative outlet, but when I decided to sell my work...it changed the joy I had in creating it. I also hated to sell my creatures...I know, that's selfish...but I had really created them for myself. *sigh*

That being said, I've decided to start creating again...going within and pulling out some magic that's been dormant for awhile. Doing my Art, because I love it...and if I get a stock of creations done and an oppurtunity comes to sell or show, maybe I will. All I know is that I cannot do it, with the intentions to make a profit...I just can't combine those two things, I cannot be motivated by profit...I wish I could, but the last few years have shown me that I can't.

So I'm doing it for me...YAY ME!

I have some mixed media canvas work that I'm starting on and I'm VERY excited about it! I would also like to get back to my creatures, they've been SO patient with me and soon they will come to life and this...makes my soul happy.




And now, I gotta figure out how to move around and do stuff on DA, because EVERYTHING has changed. GAH!

Technology.

This artist has blown me away today...please check out her site.

I'm speechless.

Yes, that's where I've been...and it started with DragonCon, my annual costuming SciFi Fantasy convention. I joined a group and became friends with some fabulous people.

From there some local and distance friends were found and ever since, I've enjoyed my daily chats with them.

I haven't been on DA, because I haven't made anything in over a year....I wish I was motivated, but I think my "magic" has been lost for quite awhile....I wish it wasn't.

I'm divorced now and trying to get my brain together, so I haven't been thinking about creating...and nothing has really worked out for me artistically.

So....WENDY (whom I love)....and KEVIN (whom I love)....don't hate on MySpace...it really isn't that bad, for me it's like DA when I first joined.

Miss you all and love that you're still creating!
