Oh dear, I feel a bit guilty for neglecting you guys. I haven't been posting to much
lately have I? But this is why:
I've been working so hard the last, well frankly two years, that I feel a bit run down
in creativity (the etsy shop and making all those products has been a bit overwelming
too, delicate flower that I am ;-). I'm struggling with finding my 'spark' again and
figuring out which way to go. In this part of my carrier (oh my, I've got one) where
things are up and running fine, I feel the need to step back and reflect on my path.
I'd like to go back to 'really' illustrating instead of producing. To do this I need to make
some space and time. Last week I went on a yoga weekend at the seaside which was
lovely but confronted me with a horrible neck ache, which ironically made me even
fysically feel stuck, haha! Interesting how the body reflects mental obstructions...
Anyway, I'm thinking about going on a little trip, maybe to do some more yoga or
something like an artist in residenceship. Because I'm also teaching (which I love!) it's
a bit hard to find the time for a week or two off, but I'll do my very best to find it,
probably somewhere in januari. I also plan on doing a little course or workshop to get
my creativity going without me having to let the motivation come out of myself all the
time, but just go with assignments from someone else (in this case, I'm thinking about
an online course from
Jamie Shelman, who's also a teacher at
Camp Pikaland).
Sound like a good plan? In the mean time I will be posting on the blog again, as I did
miss doing that on a daily basis and the contact with you guys that comes with it!
Of course
the shop will stay open, especially now that the holidays are coming up.
Fortunately, I had some help from a very good friend who, with his crafty skills,
assisted me in making ICPB's, thanks Chris!.
Wow, this has become a long story... Thanks for listing to/ reading my mind bubbles
and sticking with me!
