So here it is, another post with a long stretch between this one and the last one. I have not stopped creating, just sometimes it seems to much trouble to put up things that don't get read.
Sorry, I don't mean to sound bitter, but we all have that need to feel as if we are seen and heard. As if somehow that validates our creative impulses.
But really it doesn't. What validates the creative spirit in us is the joy that we feel when we are finished. It is the AHHHHHHHHH when I create something I love. Sure I want others to love what I create also, but not everyone does.
I have pom poms, and painted vases and yarn covered tins that I think are pretty darling , yet others are less impressed. Does this mean I should stop? Should I stop making cards because no one will buy them?
How many artists did not become famous until their death? Not that I believe that if i died tomorrow my creations would become something to be fought for....but you know.
So I continue making my cards and putting out this little blog not so that the world will be convinced of my talent, but because I am created in God's image, and He is the greatest creator of all time. So I in some small way must also create, it is in my nature. even if no one sees.
