Frustrated

I am really sad about not entering Bead Dreams this year. I didn’t manage to enter the NPCG’s Progress & Possibilities Show either. I’ve got between now and July to come up with something for The Rave. It’s a really long shot that I’ll be able to get focused enough to do anything show worthy. ugh… Our life has been in such turmoil this year and my creative time has been squeezed out of existence. You just can’t schedule time for art, at least I can’t. I had a brief moment when I thought I could pull a last minute entry out of my creative hat (LOL), but the design really didn’t work out. Usually at this time of year I have 2 or three ideas I am persuing for Bead Dreams and at least one of them seems very promising and ends up a total dud. 2 years ago I was caught up in a series of lentils. I spent hours on them, fussed over them and I thought they were fantastic. Until the next morning when I got an objective (and rested) view of them. They looked like little blobs of Pepto Bismal. I don’t know what I was thinking. The beads I was working on the other night were another set of “Huh?” beads.

    Libby, I am sorry you are stuck in the creative doldrums. Is it that you really just don’t have the time to just sit and contemplate, and let your hands move the clay? You are a talented artist, so I know, that it is in you. That is why you are so frustrated right now. It’s there, shouting to be let out. Well…that’s how it looks from my armchair, anyway.
