You have also given me food for thought, and since I have recently had to go part time due to Obamacare, I have some extra time to be creative while I am I between adding another job. I don't intend to waste that time, but I will approach it a bit differently, I think.

It's lovely to hear your reflections on the difference between your artist life and your creative life; and I do know how hard it is to do everything when the hours are few. I really resonate with the idea that we put creativity into all task; even the mundane ones. I can't hang washing without making a colour composition or stack dishes without creating a still life!Julie Shacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978513684928886635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143358254081179940.post-11912320289709120072013-03-15T18:50:24.647-04:002013-03-15T18:50:24.647-04:00So glad to read this, and very happy for you, Lott...So glad to read this, and very happy for you, Lotta!Elena Rosenberg Wearable Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210267511492285837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143358254081179940.post-18341740282282105602013-03-15T18:18:29.085-04:002013-03-15T18:18:29.085-04:00You are a powerful woman.
