Week 9 TAW
This week Julia suggested we read our morning pages.
She asked us to look for recurring themes. What have we been whining about?
What changes or shifts have occured....
Mostly I couldn't read my own first A.M. writing.
So don't know what my problem was.:-)
She asked about creative U turns we've made. I started looking back through some of my old art projects. I found this shrine I made out of an altoid tin. It was for an art trade. Connected across the miles with glitter and glue ,wires and hearts and friendship.
While I have turned away from some artistic opportunities in my life. Afraid of ?
There is one thing I know for sure.
I don't want to make a creative U turn from blogland.
It is what keeps me creating.

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea an art trade is. I love what you did with the Altoid tin, Gemma. I don't think you have it in you to not be creative in everything you do!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you won't be taking a creative U-turn from blogland! I would greatly miss you :)
ReplyDeleteIt can be hard to look at our past abandoned artworks without being overwhelmed -- but you seem to be doing really well! Besides, your tin is so cute ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you couldn't read those MPs... I have none to read from my little blocked period during the course. In a way it made the task a lot easier -- can you imagine rereading all of them in one week? I don't think I could stomach it... it's probably for the best your morning handwriting is illegible.
gemma,
ReplyDeleteI think blogging keeps me creating too. All the inspiration from everyone and now all those classes online. I can't stop creating now,
Kate
I can't read my morning pages either..
ReplyDeleteI find blogging is my therapy.. I love that little altoid tin, it has given me an idea to create a little Marian shrine to take with me when I go to Tasmania! thanks tons.. now all I need to find is a tin :)
I remember doing The artists way ..and going back to read my pags...woooo! Lotta stuff. I agree with you, blogland has been a big inspiration and more. Just think..we would never have met if not f or Cyber space! Love and Peace..Pam
ReplyDeleteI love your tin of things. It is creative in itself. I know that blogging has indeed given me more "umph." I see so many creative artists (like you) and it makes me want to get in my studio and do something. Thanks for sharing all your good stuff. I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThe revamped altoid tin is beautiful and very meaningful...nice job! I so agree....blogging has been a wonderful tool in meeting new friends and sharing our creativity with one another and I can't imagine life without it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to read my morning pages yet. :)
Thanks for sharing your tin! I love what you did!
ReplyDeleteBlogging is definitely our creative venue!
Hugs!
So glad you're on the blogland trail and not making a U-ee away from us - I'd miss you so much. Blogging does have a way of keeping us on our creative toes...
ReplyDeleteI love the shrine and the connections it represents.
NO ((never)) make a U turn from blogging!! I would miss your wisdom! love and light aNNa xoxo
ReplyDeleteI agree - blogland is inspiring for creativity.
ReplyDeleteI too love my connection here in blogland. Thanks for swinging by my blog and leaving me such a positive spirited comment. It made me smile!
