I once asked an internationally known artist how many years it took her to become an 'overnight success'. She grinned and answered, "Seven!"Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190514671072918351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489391563999320464.post-37420941670031441282010-12-16T07:24:03.092-06:002010-12-16T07:24:03.092-06:00Well, what the heck?!!!

Let's see ... there's finish cutting up that felted wool for scarves, sew the pieces together, do those chair back covers promised to Rob's auntie, get some face cradle covers cut out, start sewing the yarn around the........

Did the blog and poof- doors are opening. I approached some galleries and magazines and POOF again. They say yes! I've been asked to teach and have been called upon for commissioned work. It's so exciting. And really - all you have to do is knock on some doors and there they go! It's exhilerating once you get past the procrastination and fear of asking in the first place.<br /><br />I had to laugh about the goal: MAKE ART (duh). I've spent all day blogging. No art. It's hard to be the artist and the art manager at the same time! <br /><br />One thing I do is lie in bed at night with my cell phone and email myself a list of teeny to-do's, like "add flickr pics" or "update CV" or "call so'n'so to ask about...". When I'm alone in the dark in the quiet, my mind is still stirring and bubbling with ideas. This way I don't forget. ; ) <br /><br />Thanks again for the great post. <br /><br />Monika / My Sweet Prairiemonika@mysweetprairie.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655544650615742749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489391563999320464.post-81341679501824648082010-12-09T10:16:41.342-06:002010-12-09T10:16:41.342-06:00Outstanding!
