Artful Attempts = Practice on the Way to Creating What I Meant to Create, Right?

I keep remembering Babe Ruth: most homeruns and most strike outs, right?

I am waving my weekend white flag.

I am surrendering to all the artful attempts and non-successes over the weekend. As Scarlett said, tomorrow is a new day. I did manage to get some more visuals done for the Inspiration for Your Blogging series. That is such a breeze for me… it almost doesn’t feel like I can call it my “Art Every Day Month project” but the smarter me says it does fit.

I am also practicing making eyes for a special secret project I’m working on.

I practice sketching eyes each day and I get better: practice is a very good thing.

Some of the AEDMers are inspiring me with that! (The eyes I mean - plus I am learning to appreciate youtube tutorials a lot. After all, without youtube, I wouldn't have my lovely origami pieces, either.

I have a lot of plans for this week, but once again I am open to wherever the muse chooses to take me. Among those plans are a surgery Wednesday to fix my scar from last year's surgery. Its incredible how much "belief residue" it is bringing up. Being conscious it is just old icky stuff helps a lot.

I look forward to visiting you, my dear friends at Art Every Day Month, and working on some life work projects.

Thank Goodness it’s Monday!
