Ok, so after a few hardships of moving up here....a divorce...and my son dying with no warning....for months on end...before I met Ray....I felt as though every creative spark had left. Over the years, since 2000...I had made beautiful Folk Art Pieces that are now in 13 Countries and hundreds of them here in the US, AK, and HI. However, I lost it all, and tried to force feed my spirit to Create with absolutely NO thing creative. I had prayed and prayed....read The Artists Way. I hung around a lot of artists the first two years trying to find me again in the Art world....but never did I feel it. Creativity isnt just something you do....it pops up within You...turns a light on in your mind with a beautiful picture of what is to be. The excitement begins and new creations are in your hands. Well.....to no avail....I only got the Title or Name for my NEW Pieces a couple of years ago. I would pick up materials in the woods, look in craft stores...look at other art creations on sites like HOUZZ and/or Etsy....for an idea...something that would make my Button POP! Well....I knew the medium to use, but still couldnt see the Creative Piece that would come from it.....so I let it all go. I truly did. Finally, this past week. questioning myself, wondering where my goals are, were is the artist that once had no trouble making, marketing, and selling my pieces. So, this afternoon....Ray was unloading some wood onto the porch before the next cold spell...and I went out to the porch to gather some wood for this evening. As I was doing so......TA DAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just came to me....Omygosh....I could feel the excitement boiling up in me....and idea started flying thru the Labyrinth of my brain...my heart beat faster...and my hands were grabbing, picking, feeling, and smelling the natural resources that have ALWAYS been here! It felt so good to get that creative high and excitement in anticipation to see what you will do.....So, now I must gather the other materials and start putting my ideas down on paper! Sorry that this is so long...but it is a break through for me. I am a Creator at heart...and when I thought the Creativity had left me...I didnt feel like me any more. OH....and many of you are customers from all over who have purchased from me. I thank all of you for sticking with me over the last years here. The pictures I posted with this are Items that I will be using......so excited! I praise God for putting a bit of HIM in me.....so others may see HIM thru me! AMEN!
