The struggle part is scary but kinda necessary, huh! For me it feels like being lost, like i dont know what it is i am reaching for but something new wants to be born. I cant really get there with my mind that wants to make sense of things. Its frustrating to that mind. I am not sure i go into the "play" zone enough... Probably a good time to go get the sketchbook and just let go. But usually i somehow get a mental break from it and i come back refreshed and it starts to come together. I definitely have to let goof the struggle part before the coming together can arise...melindatidwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05047377318615297085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-32127353635419205722011-12-06T16:43:43.094-05:002011-12-06T16:43:43.094-05:00I should have kept reading - this post is even mor...I should have kept reading - this post is even more inspiring. I too love working with circles and the way they show up again and again in your work is so appealing to me. Since I haven't cracked my journal in weeks, this is just the kind of post I needed - a gentle nudge.

I spend an awful lot of time in my head dreaming new stuff, but with what you say about playing in your sketchbook, I may have to make that resolution for this year. A good idea for 2012.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401336344874307216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-18362202768391845812011-12-04T02:57:02.936-05:002011-12-04T02:57:02.936-05:00Hi Jane, Your student is so right, I often take qu...Hi Jane, Your student is so right, I often take quite some time perculating an idea.
