Major Clear Out!
A major clear out of the studio (which had become some sort of laundry room/toddler craft dumping ground) and 7 months of very late nights, has got me somewhere near obsessed with making again! I am attempting to train myself out of 6 years worth of ‘Baby Brain’ and trying to access some of my ‘Art Brain’, though I think both are just as dippy as each other!
It feels amazing to be making again, and I am now fully obsessed with paper, painting, printing, cutting, stitching and general mess making! My poor husband now has to live with me, our three small children, a whippet, and a whole world of teeny tiny paper cuttings!! (And I’m not sure he’s had much choice about any of it to be honest!)
I have swapped late nights with small babies (though I still have plenty of those) for late nights with paint, paper, and a cutting knife. And I can assure you the latter is far far easier and quite a lot more enjoyable! So with ideas and stories coming out of my eyeballs, I am now trying to strike a balance between being Mum during daylight hours and Artist at night. The children may be slightly more feral but hopefully we are all having some fun!
I never ceased to be amazed at the talent and energy of our youngest daughter. Hopefully the website will be as successful as the art work deserves.
This is fab haz you’ve worked so hard and it’s all coming together more than nicely !! It’s awesome love ya miss ya well done xxxx
