What have I become!

I never thought I would become that person that gets caught up in making art because I needed to sell! I was the one that felt like I needed to make it so I could stay mentally and emotionally well.
Because of my new life changes (having a daughter, a husband, and being out of work, and my husband having to go from job to job) I recently have lost my way!

I fear that. I got disparate and started taking any art job I could or thought I could do. It really made me pretty overwhelmed and sad in the long run and to add to that it's not like I gained the money I needed anyway. What have I done! sigh I need to focus on making my art because I have a wonderful idea or because I feel something strong pulling to create. I keep leaving behind the true meaning of my self.

Fear leads me.
How do people stay close and keep in touch with one a nothers feelings and needs when all you can think about is keeping your head above water. The worst part about it is that we are lucky with all we have.

I think the famous monster is creeping in my ear and yelling at me. I feel like I have this need to be found...but truthfully if I was "found" what would it be for? It's so hard to hold on to ONE thing. I like doing so many things. I always thought I was a lazy person but truthfully my fault is that I am a perfectionist in a way, If its not right I just don't do it.

Practice is needed in my sewing!
Pride is needed in my shoes!
Love in needed in my paintings!
and I must ABOVE ALL
put more Time, Honesty, and Faith in my family!



My Art was good and strong when I was.

I feel deflated and like I drag my hands to the table.
What am I missing?

I talk and talk and talk about my issues, so change them!
I try and try and try to get somewhere, even though I feel my self going in circles!

ITS TIME TO TAKE CARE OF MY SELF FOR A FEW DAYS AND FOCUS ON THE REAL HEART IN MY ART!

New things are on their way!

MOVING ON UP!

I am working super hard to keep up my art.

I have a wonderful friend who is a graphic designer and also has her own amazing blog!

She is making me a really great set of logos for my sweet issues art and favola bella shoes by sweet issues! This is exciting for me because I want to make this work as a job for me.

check out some of the new things I have listed for my Etsy store too!

Please share it with friends and spread the word!

I think I will be doing another RAW show in Aug on the 16th! Maybe pomona too!
I am just going to keep on going!
Up up and Away!









Hoping for some new supplies and some new ideas!

I want to make more heels!

Art Snob!

Welcome,

I am starting a small facebook group called Art Attack.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/461402853871930/
join us if you like to take on this adventure!

I have been sitting here thinking about all the people I know that do really great things.
Some shot photos, some bake and decorate cakes, some make websites and logos, there are painters and people that can sew some amazing things!

I want there to be a way to show off our websites, stores, craft shows, art shows, logos, blogs, and whatever you/they want!

Its hard to make it in the world of art no mater what type it is or how popular.
I think that with a wild group of people together we can reach new places and learn new trades. Someday when the world is whatever it ends up being how many of you will know how to sew? cook? or paint?

These great things are becoming dead and old fashion, at the same time the old fashion things are coming back stronger than ever...but because of its trendy ways it costs a lot of money to learn these things.

So lets get together and trade for lessons or just be kind a share what we know.
have a question about something art like...you googled and looked and can't find it! Well I bet you one of the people in the group might know...and if they don't I bet they will be willing to learn with you.

Experiment with these people!
Take these people and find new inspiration. Some of you live far and others are right next to each other and don't even know it.

Become Friends in real life!

This is from an amazing art class I had...It started my idea for this group page!

Thanks guys!

I hope that this group can help us make some art shows happen, find some new type of art we like, or help us with sales and finding new customers! lets all reach out and just help another artist!

Thanks everyone
