I was reading Somerset Studio last night and came upon a quote from an article about collage called "Soul Revealed" by Robyn Thayer. The quote rang so true with my life and my ventures in art:
"I liken this experience to skydiving. It is in this crucial moment I must jump to experience something new. Standing on the edge, considering the risk, my rational mind says, 'NO! Don't do it. Standing here is fine, risk nothing.' Simultaneously, within my heart is this wild bird, craving the free fall ----the way the wind catches her time and time again, softly guiding her into uncharted territory. It is this flight that makes art, that creates music, that is the essence of my soul revealed.
So, I will take what this message has to offer me and jump (once again) into uncharted territory. I hope that everything will turn out right. I think with the right amount of effort and careful planning, everything in my art career will turn out ok.
This weekend, I am headed to a big local arts and crafts festival. Every year, I say that "I am going to get a booth and show my art/jewelry, etc.", but never do for whatever reason or another. Maybe next year. Will have to see how things sell.
I am awaiting my shipment of beads and then will get started on my jewelry. Hopefully, it will come this weekend so I can get going while I am filled with so much inspiration.
