My creative space

I have been taking things a bit slowly lately. Blame it on the good weather and me wanting to enjoy every bit of it. I tell myself it's OK not to have to do stuff all the time. It was hard in the beginning but now I can get used to that.
I decided to make some more wall art and I'm prepping ceramic canvasses for that. If I want to apply colored clay slib, they need to be leatherhard to be able to do so.
I have been sketching bits and pieces and even though I'm a bit afraid of blank canvasses, I can't wait to make 'em 'real'.

    I think that's one of the toughest things: taking it slow. I'm happy you found a way to do so.. stepping back a bit can change your point of view and inspire! Go Mitsy!

    Enjoy the weather, of course you don't have to do stuff all the time. It's nice to put the thinking cap aside for a while to let the hair grow back. :)

    Taking things slow is just what people need to do. Everyone is rushing somewhere somehow. I am glad you stand out from the croud.

    Am I boring for really liking that picture as is? I guess I've always been a minimalist ... and I really like squares.

    Great advice! I have the same problem. I feel like I always need to be doing things. It's okay to do nothing sometimes too. I've learned that from living in Italy and watching the Italians.

    Looking forward to seeing the results!

    Have a great weekend!
