What needs to be done?

topic posted Wed, November 23, 2005 - 10:34 PM by  Arashi
First of all I would like to say hi, and that I am pretty much a tribe lurker who forgets to check the site for months at a time. But I like this tribe, it is very positive and affirming.

Anyway, I am trying to be more communicative and start conversations rather than add to them, so here goes...

What, at the moment, needs to be done? What project is bugging you? What needs to be painted, what needs to be written, sewn, cooked, etc, what creative project is on the backburner and refusing to go away.

I ask because I like to know what stirs people.

I tried to ask my friends on lj, and I got a lot of "it's a secret" answers, which bothered me until I realized that people are worried about intellectual property things, and aren't comfy talking about them until they have made them, so as an after thought to my question, I just wanted to say that I respect that.

    Interesting question. I always have something in my mind that I am creating, and a few things 1/2 finished around the house.

    I have a scarf 1/2 crocheted for my youngest daughter
    I have some pendulums that were finished, but don't seem finished, so I am hoping to redo them.
    I have tons of altered book/collage ideas and poetry ideas
    I would like to get my poetry together into a book
    I have some Christmas gift ideas in the ingredients bought but not put together stage

    I am sure there is more...

    What needs to be done? Some days, it feels like everything. Mostly gifts are neglected for me. I wrote myself some "art goals" this year which were tough, but encouraged me to focus on hand made gifts for friends and trying to obtain a small exhibition (size doesn't matter). I have some good leads on that now, but I am scared and pre-occupied with other life stuff.

    I have a few friends with passed birthdays or anniversarys gone by. When I see people, I get off my butt and make the art though. So, I guess the mental kick in he butt is best for me.
