Clean Slate

I am so thankful to have picked up this book . I NEVER tarnish my books by folding pages, dropping them or bending them too far out that the spine comes undone. This book changed me. A few reasons why: A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all women, men, and children. Letting go of certainty is a challenge.   Letting go of comparison is not a to-do list. if creativity is seen as a luxury or something we do when we have spare time, it will never be cultivated   Take a class. Risk feeling vulnerable and new and imperfect and take a class   You never know where you’ll find your creative inspiration. And these words are only halfway through the book.  

Yesterday, to fuel my creative energy, I drove to Columbus, Ohio for their annual arts festival. I saw this digital art, and it made me laugh.  I don't know if this is the kind of artist I want to become, but it made me reconsider my perspective! Old-time family photos with pet heads. I regret that I didn't get the artist's name. I missed the Cincinnati arts festival, Summerfair, last weekend, because Saturday, I attended my cousin's daughter's wedding (Doesn't she look so happy?).  It was an early June wedding, but the weather was like summer. I was so tired that I just wanted to sleep in and rest on Sunday. I wish I could have bought everything that inspired me, but here are the artists that inspired me enough to remember them. I encourage you to visit their sites! Moon Rabbit Press   I bought this signed and numbered print from the artist. Eye Candy Jewelry Aimee Petkus Jewelry   Cavatica Design...

The butterfly show was so much fun, but it was humid. By the time I left, I needed a hairdryer. I got a few butterfly kisses during the hour and a half I spent there.  After yoga today, I spent the day editing my images – finishing the process. I sent 51 images to be printed and will pick them up tomorrow. Below are a some of my favorites:
