I have done some playing around with transfers, washi tape with some interesting paper I found. Some teabag painting, stamp carving, made a frida stamp (that doodling in the upper right is my Frida stamp test), and a poppy seed pod stamp, some little doodle stamps. I let my cat's in and out and made breakfast, took a shower, and I am not finished, it is only 11:00 a.m in the morning. I still haven't cleaned my craft room! I bring this up because Gritty Jane asked the question the other day about having so many ideas in going on in your head. Here is her question from FB...
"Ever feel like you're pulled in too many artistic directions? Like I want to do abstracts...I want to do block prints...draw with india ink...sculpt...practice line drawings...collage...use oil paints..."
Well, I also go through this everyday and sometimes these thoughts make me freeze up creatively and I almost feel comatose. I am starting to feel that way now. I couldn't stop this morning until I started to feel exhausted. Exhaustion from having so much going on in my head like hearing the whole world chattering at once. But I like it! I also like silence! I love silence! But I feel if I am not painting, drawing, doodling, or thinking about it I will die!

I can so relate, the one and only time I went to a clearvoyant years ago, she yelled out "Wow it's busy in your head !" I don't think I manage to get through my list of inspiurations in my head, more and more seem to pile up every day, and yes this leads sometimes to comatose days, very frustrating. I feel for you my dear friend. Keep going though, read a book, go see a movie or take a big walk in the rain, that helps me sometimes ♥
I love this post Janine-you have described this dilemma so well! I am the same. I always wonder that if I focussed on one thing would it be better? But then I realise I can't, it is just not me! Or you, or Gritty Jane, or Joyce van der lely!
