    Creative ADD

    I’ve been all over the place lately when it comes to creativity.
    I think I may have Art ADD (attention deficit disorder).
    Ok…some might argue that I have ADD in other areas of my life as well but the Art ADD is self-diagnosed.
    I blame the other on Motherhood. Children steal you’re ability to keep a clear running thought in your head. 🙂 But I wouldn’t change a thing.
    Anyway…these are the things I’ve done in the past week.
    I papered our recycling cabinet to match the fridge.
    Knitted another dishcloth on the loom

    Knitted a cowl on the loom…

    Miniature terrain on a recycled CD…
    Another terrain piece…
    And last night I started another twirly crochet scarf because my elbow was hurting from the repetitive motion of the knitting.
    Crochet seems to work my wrist more and doesn’t bother me.

    In addition I’ve been washing and ironing my way through a large box of old linens. Deciding what is decent enough to save and use and what I can use in my artwork. Vintage linens and fabric are part of my idea for the Postcard Challenge book.

    So, yeah…definitely Art ADD.

    Channeling my inner nerd

    I’ve started out the year by working on some more miniature terrain.
    Nobody is actually using it for wargames at our house but I love creating it anyway.
    Making something out of nothing but leftover bits.
    See how this project started out…
    Nothing but junk that was saved from the landfill. Yes, I know some of it could have been sent to the recycle center but this was much more satisfying.
    Since we’re running out of room to store the terrain that I keep dreaming up..I’m thinking that I’m going to give selling it a try. So, if you know any nerdy people out there…send them my way. 🙂

    Fairy door

    I saw a fun challenge and decided to go for it since I haven’t worked much with miniatures lately.  I found that I really miss it. 

    I love making faux stone. It’s my favorite technique.

    Have a magical day!!
