unfocused

Have you ever experienced designers block. I'm sure you have. You have components and materials all around you however the ideas don't seem to be coming to the surface. So you just sit, stare and wonder how you're ever going to create something ever again. It's a dark place to be. So I encourage you, no...I'm going to challenge you to make something. 

Anything.

This is what I told myself last night... "just make something for goodness sakes".

So I did. I challenged myself to pick up some wire and make something.  All that angst brought forth this...

It's about as bland and basic as you can get. Actually that's not true, it could be worse.  At least I could pass it off as minimalist art.  

I'm going to name it "unfocused".

And that is really quite funny when you think about it, because it took me 15 shots to get this photo in focus and it is still blurry. Like my brain...fuzzy. 

Maybe it's the weather.  

Anyone else having issues with focusing?  

What things to you do to kick start your creative genius?  

peace. love. rust. 

just piddl'n

I walked by my work table the other day and two things came to mind;

1) it was a mess

2) something needed to be done

so I did...

 

does this count as getting something done?  

my work table is still a mess...

but I accomplished something!

and now I have a new little ornament with a cute little heart dangle.  I've had these little ceramic hearts for over a year and have never done much with them. the time has come to move them out.  I have red, blue and a lovely tan with some awesome undertones.  I'll be listing these in my Rustique Art Etsy and Zibbet shops this weekend. 

they're kind of quirky, funky and just perfect for hanging anywhere your little heart desires.  they would even be cute for adding to gift bags.

peace. love. rust.
