On the Quilt Art list there has been a running thread about artist block and how each one deals with this, but I have blocked artist.Let me explain, for the past few months we have been packing up our present home for a move to a new home and so I had also to pack up my studio.This has made me think of what I want to take with me, what I want to do/work on, and as space is tight (non existant really) I had to think small. All of this has really helped because I decided to try new things, e.g. hand felting for one, also a limited pallet, and only hand work (not easy with arthritis in your hands) I could have looked at all this as a negative situation but instead it will give me a chance to try out new techniques in a small way first and if I like what I do when my new studio is ready work larger. If I need inspiration I only have to visit some blogs I really enjoy and I'm off and running again, not with copy-cat work but ideas sparcked.Now its only two weeks Friday to our move, then the fun begins. How do you get over artist block?Hope you call again.
Take Care,
Janette
