I need to...


Edited moments later to add: So when I created this, I was thinking about my art, and that I just need to be brave about the whole thing because I know it will all turn out for the best in the end. Actually, I saw the word "travel" upside down and somehow misread it to read "be brave." I thought that was an important message from my subconscious :), so I made this little collage. Then as I was loading it onto the blog, I remembered that tomorrow I have to go to the neurologist for this exam where I guess they poke little needles into you and send electrical pulses into your muscles. And I then decided that this Be Brave message was just something I needed to hear on more than just the art stuff.

Just thought you might be interested in how this quick collage came to be.

  10. Hi Shelley, Thanks so much for your sweet encouragement!!! I can feel it all the way from Ohio. You're my inspiration:) I feel like we're in similar places: working full time, chasing a toddler, and working to make our art dreams come true. Every baby step counts! XOXO
