Crafty

So, I posted a whole blog the other night and everything froze up, and I lost everything. I really hate it when that happens. It's as if the Internet, is mad....it's going mad, at home and at work. I get blank screens everywhere. So, I don't know where I was going with that but I sure hope it gets better, other than that I think I'm getting sick. Germs are going around in the office, and since I am one that gets up every now and then from my desk I am bound to get sick too.

Well, I wanted to take a break from packing for Weight Watchers and post a little bit since I haven't the last couple of day's. I keep thinking about the weekend, Saturday was amazing. I finally went to an art exhibit/open house of an artist that I am amazed by her work. She is very talented, her name is Jenny. Her website is http://jennyelkins.blogspot.com/

She has all types of different art that she creates from a variety of media used. While, I was there on Saturday I couldn't help to think why am I not creating art or designs anymore. I used to love it, besides Weight Watchers being my life now. I miss it a lot. Maybe, I should start creating art again. Do something that I love and I miss doing. I wanted to post one of my favorite designs that I created awhile back.

I love it. Some people may look at the face and think, "Well, no one's face is that color or that saturated." The truth is I love it, and I wanted it to look that way. I guess, I have never been a person who critics one's work and puts it down. This seemed to happen a lot on my internship in Orlando, and I couldn't believe it. I guess, that is when I stopped showing my portfolio to people. Maybe, I should incorporate these feelings into some designs. It's not that I hate art critics, since that is all we ever had in college but why put someone's work down?

I really love manipulating photographs and making them something more in various design programs. I just love making something look different from what it was in real life. Maybe, that sounds funny but art is that way to me. I just enjoy being creative, not having rules or guidelines to what I create.

I feel like I have had a block lately, a block from art and writing poetry. Sometimes, I will get ready for bed and think of a design or some words for a poem. I will totally forget to write the idea down, and I'll lose it from my mind all together.
