Back with new inspiration

Sorry its been a while....to say the least, oops!

I ve not bee resting on my laurels or hiding away in a dark corner though. No this creative chick has been getting her life n order and back to that creative chick I always have been.
The previous posts did result in a long and fraught conversation with my mother, which hopefully may result in a better relationship in the long run. I have to admit though, that at the moment the dust is still settling while we both get used to the new beginnings. Fingers crossed eh and if nothing else I have been honest and have no regrets, only hopes for a better relationship for us both.

Anyway, pastures new and upto date.
I am still painting when I get a moment and enjoying it all the more, but the idea of selling any of my work is far more difficult than I ever imagined it would be. It wasnt until I was approached to sell Purple Shores my first painting after all those years, that I realised that and declined the offer. Weighing up money v selling a part of my psyche, was more punishing than anything I known for a long while.

Happy to announce creativity is bursting through me again, business is running smoothly, and I am already looking forward to Spring.

I love a challenge, and view creating products with my hands pretty much all in the same vein.
To me there is little difference between creating uber eco skin care for Innocent Oils, Organic Modelling dough for O'Dough, building a studio to work in, painting the walls or artwork for my walls.
It's the challenge of having an idea in my head and finding a way to make it happen so I can touch it for real, that brings the biggest challenge and joy.

My upbringing has taught me that if I need something I can make make it. If I cant make it, I have to make something else that I can use to get me to where I want to be, and to enjoy the adventure the journey along the way.

This is my journey along the way whatever it may bring...
