One thing I often discovered through meeting a lot of people at bead shows is that a huge percentage of "us beaders" are also somewhat easily addicted to new and exciting things. We don't finish or follow through with things until the end, because something new has our attention…
So as I haven't even touched my "studio reorganization" since October, and I am really hoping that in the next two weeks I will just get back to it…
So here are my new addictions and distractions from getting the studio into order where I can be at my prime super easily workable flowiness… (you know - where I can find everything I need, when I need it and just float around the place making wonderful art all the time). A girl can daydream right?
Ok - here they are in today's order in the hopes to also get you addicted or at least interested for a moment while you are blog cruising...
1. Instagram App for the iPhone (Thanks for the introduction Heather!)

2. Zentangle for direction for getting me drawing doodle designs again.
3. BTW (Bead Table Wednesday) from Heather Powers (Humble Beads).

These things may seem at a glance a bit of a distraction from what I am "supposed" to be doing, but I think that as I sit and figure out what it is that I want to be doing, then these will all play a big role.
Fingers crossed that I get into thes DE Master Gardeners program for this spring… If so, I'll be heading back down to the University of DE again for classes 2x a week from March - May. It will feel a little like being back in the 1990's again being at the UD College of Agriculture - but this time with some experience and a desire for want of knowledge instead of just the thing you do after High School… I find out if I get in around early February…
Oh, and over at the Beads-of-Clay blog, we're throwing the idea around of a "Zentangle Inspired" challenges…
I love how drawings can be put into another medium and enhanced upon…
Looks to me like they feed into your creative fire! Love it! Unlike the Angry Birds addiction that I am currently battling!
ReplyDeletethey all sound fun - my kids have the hipstamatic app and they are hooked... btw sounds awesome - i always have a mess to share!
ReplyDeleteI am so digging the Zentangle thing. I want to jump in! I think it could be a nice complement to the drawing lab (I am so delighted to see you in that lab with me!) I need to get that app for my kids ipods. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad we are on this journey together!
Enjoy the day!

New addictions and distractions are good. It keeps up young. I think week 4 lab I have a more "artsy" class planned, but line drawing will be involved. It will be so fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marsha for post the Drawing Lab icon on your blog.
