Packages from friends are so special. I was wrapping up my own little, late package for you and your Julie today. There is always so much more I want to do before I send it out. More little touches I want to add to the special things I am sending your way.
I know how you feel about that carpe diem feeling. I am there big time right now. Feeling like every nap is a race to get my chores done, put my hours (minutes) in for work, and BE CREATIVE. That one is calling me big time.
The logic of, If I don't draw, I die. Is very real with me. Our style and process are so different, but I think our urgency is the same. I am committing myself to starting a business. August is for renewal, not just making plans, but accomplishing goals. I want to start an Etsy shop. I hope you're not eye rolling too much over there.
I have so much I want to make. It's not like art school though, it's not just making and making and no product. I want to start with the product and make and make and have a customer and get it out there. Do you relate to this at all? I have to get over myself and move forward with doing. I'm so judgemental. About sold "art". I'm always thinking, that is not good, or I could do better, or how are they so successful? Well they did it! They believed in themselves rather than just watching and critiquing others silently. How many times have I been told I should sell this or that, and I think, it's not ready. Well it's never going to be ready, and I'm never going to get anywhere if I don't start now. By end of August, I want one product complete. I think that's doable. And exciting. There are a lot of changes going on around here, things I'll tell you about another time, but this one is big in my heart, and I hope you support me in it.
Tell me what you want to make. Have any sketches to share?
The above is a snippet from a fabric I'm designing, nothing to sell, just to keep my creative mind busy.
Love,
Emily
