This week I attended a free event at one of my favorite shops in the whole wide world: Two Hands Paperie. This local Boulder store specializes in stationary and pens, but they offer a huge range of art-making classes and products to salivate over.

Vision Needed
Right now I am working on a secret project.* I am on draft 17,000,000 of a part of my project (not even the whole project!) because I can’t decide how I want to move forward. I am continually tweaking and then changing my opinions on the tweaks. I am a pretty indecisive person generally (IContinue reading “Vision Needed”
Getting out of the Funk by Looking Around
A couple weeks ago, I reflected on my creativity-less funk and created ACTION STEPS. One of my action steps was to use my phone to take pictures everyday.

They are nectar-sippers, supping upon flowersContinue reading “What I Imagined Vs. the Harsh Reality”
Sketching a Plan
If you read the introduction post, you’ll already know that I struggle with consistency. I get enthralled with something, obsess over it, and then all too quickly my attention gets caught by a new glittering over there, and I’m off. I’ve explored a lot of breadth in the world of creativity, but never achieved much depth.Continue reading “Sketching a Plan”
Why are We Blogging and What About?
Compulsive Creation: Participants (that’s Claire and Jessie) agree to sustain their efforts in the making of art (in any form) and to share their work and explorations on this blog right here. It won’t always be pretty, but there will be creation. JESSIE! I’ve always been a dabbler, flighty in my interests and efforts.Continue reading “Why are We Blogging and What About?”
