Going to the Market ..

Aqua hollow Lampwork Beads are the highlight of these earrings

A few days ago I started to write about procrastination. I am the best at putting things off especially when it comes to painting and drawing my art. I have been amused by doing my Jewellery and using my art for the inspiration of my line of Jewels but I do not consider that to be my "calling" so to speak.

I am a fine artist and I am capable of doing more. I put it off. I put off doing painting. I can paint in pastels, coloured pencils, Oil and Acrylic but the trouble is I am so full of excuses as to why I can't get at it. So, I have created a dance, at least that is what I call it, and the dance is arranging my studio so I can get down to it. I don't know if anyone else does this when they create but to me it is utterly the best way to get myself sitting in front of a canvas.

The problem is that I confine myself to a small room where I can shut the door and just work but everything must be prepared and I will make the best of it, but I still get a list in my head which consists of everything else I should do first, the laundry, the dishes, the dusting, the shopping or making my bed, This is painful actually. I think it is the hardest thing to sit my butt down and do what I do..Art.

But, finally when I get to the Market and show my art through my new jewellery I see the outcome of my work. The Maple Ridge Farmers Market is great and now I see how the folks like and buy my work. I go from struggling studio to happy days at the Market. I call this my agony and my ecstasy.

Buy the earrings on my "etsy page" at the top of my menu....see you at the Market !
