I promised myself that once the kids were grown I would have more time for art, and then I promised myself that when I retired from work, I would have more time for art. Well, it all happened as I planned or did it? Actually I still don't have enough time for art. Is it wrong to still be a social person. I love spending time at different activities with my friends and many of those activities don't involve art. Then I feel guilty, because I really want to get back to the projects I have piling up all over my 'studio'. It is so piled now I can hardly get in. So this new year's resolution is to clean up that room and get in there and use all those wonderful supplies I keep accumulating.
Also, it's time to send off the final payment for ArtFest 2008. I've attended the last 3 years and loved it. This will be my 4th year. I'll try and post some of the information from my ArtFest journal about the different classes I've explored over the years. ArtFest is a four day even held the end of March/start of April each year in Ft Worden in Port Townsend, Washington. Over 400 artsy people take over the Fort in a frenzy of trading art, exploring new interests, buying supplies and art on vendor night, and meeting other artsy people. It's an experience not to be missed. More on this later.
I've dabbled in so many forms of arts and crafts that I don't consider myself qualified to be any specific kind of artist. I wonder if that is OK. Everyone else seems to be able to label themselves as something. I usually call myself a dabbler. One interest leads to another and before I know it I have a whole new box of supplies and tools to put in that room. Oh my, that poor room.
Does anyone else find themselves experiencing the same problems? Let me know. I'm wondering if I need 'curing' or if I'm OK after all.
