And …. Thank you, Alyson for being here for all of us. Your blog is one of the most important mail I open each morning with my first cup of coffee. In case you are not aware of the importance of that for those of more “housebound”. Thanks again….
]]>Donna: I’m concerned about this. Beth mentions it above, too. There has to be a way to do something less expensive. (though I do understand that software and hardware are über pricey for togs)
When Faith Ringgold found how expensive it was to ship paintings, she rolled them up and had them hang loosely on the wall. Soon, her “Story Quilts” were born – what she gained fame for.
Limitations can be your best friend if you learn how to use them to your advantage. Then your art isn’t like everyone else’s.
Indigene: Exactly! Being an introvert doesn’t have to be a negative or an excuse. It can mean that you connect to people differently but, perhaps, on a deeper level.
]]>Leah: Great story!
]]>Cathy: Yes! It’s definitely not just artists, but that’s who I write for.
Thank you for reminding us that we are not alone.
Beth: That’s the “I’m not rich” excuse. Do something else! Matte it differently, frame it differently, hang it differently. I know this is your ideal, but you need to get the work out there in the meantime.
