Another day

So, I finally figured out how to post a second day on this blog. I am teaching myself with Andrew's help how do use the computer. Luckily, I can type. I have been working on collage over the weekend, I struggled with the concept of my collage which began with the idea of original sin and what I found, after time, much time, was that I do better without pre-conceived ideas of what I'm supposed to be doing. The collages that I just did, because I liked a color or one picture turned into messages from me to me all by themselves. This one, that I had decided to dedicate to the idea of original sin was a major struggle. I got all caught up in the message instead of following my intuition. I think I got hung up on original sin in order to show off. You know, being with a bunch of Artists or other people and being asked about my work and feeling kind of lame just saying "I just like to cut and paste stuff". So, it seemed more artistic to have a theme...especially original sin. Now, I do have a problem with the idea of being to blame for stuff just because I am female. And, I've long had a huffy feeling about the word Pudendum meaning shame. I am not a feminist, in fact, I'm old enough to know that we lost a really good deal when every one became equal. Of course, I was trained to "work the system" and it was a shock to have to change methods in mid-stream. I digress. Anyway, the big deal is that I don't want to work with a pre-conceived idea anymore. It inhibits me. This creativity stuff is kind of tricky for me. I think too much...at least that's what I think today. Tomorrow?????? that's all for now.
