A little work

So, I did a little work since last time. I worked on the small square
"F" that I had done for calligraphy and I set all the images and then shadowed and varnished several coats. I also shadowed and detailed another piece that is an angel figure on an eye with a stylized snake and using that same blue tree that I did earlier...also varnished that one. They are done and I am going to begin with my piece about the dancing figures cut out and adhered and then leafed and aged. The figures are drawn and cut out and I just think that I have to beef them up a little so the forms will be defined under the leaf. I will either re cut them or just paint a few coats on the ones I cut to make them thicker. I am also thinking that I need to draw more and maybe not rely so much on the pictures from magazines. The magazine cutting is getting more and more obsessive...my obsessiveness is not a bad thing, it just needs to be more directed toward something that is more Important to me in the long run..ie..something I can show, sell, have as a body of work. I am still confused about all this process. I really do believe in the importance of the process vs the product. The only trouble is that the product lets you eat and pay rent. Too bad. I need a patron or a lotto win. 7/7/07 is coming in two days and I will buy a lotto ticket. It is supposed to be the luckiest day ever. I do love the future, it always holds promise. Makes you want to sing "Tomorrow". I wish I were more like Melly...She just decides to do a new thing and feels no compunction to take 4,000 classes to study it, she just begins to do it. That is a quality that I seem to be lacking...but the past does not mean that you have to keep repeating. Tomorrow IS another day, and I can really just start doing things a different way anytime I decide to. I am, not, after all a piece of seaweed in the surf...even though I like to think in terms of that image. I have a brain and legs and a good strong body. I can do anything that I choose to do. The word is CHOOSE. Tomorrow WILL be another day and the rest of today as well. I am CHOOSING to make a change right now. Done.
