Just Keep Creating! – It pays off.

Well I have been frustrated and distracted lately.   But today is getting better.  I did some writing and meditating early, and got to the studio with a vague plan of creating an accordion book.  My guiding voice was saying. “just do it, try it…see what happens….it’s ok if it is not perfect. I made some tabs for the accordion pages and then I started printing some background paper for the back of the book.  I am loving it.  I used a small piece of old holey gelatin (a picture is include) and randomly printed over old pattern pieces that were randomly gessoed.  Very nice to be in a happy place.

I
 want to remember – to just keep creating  even when I feel frustrated, lost, confused, whatever. Enjoy!
