FABRIC and PAPER ART FROM MY HEART


Out in the Prairie where the wildflowers grow and the song of the birds like melody flows, there's a peace God bestows that brings joy to the soul...

DID YOU EVER FEEL YOUR ART'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

Well, I guess I need a wake up call of somekind? My art projects just don't seem to move on Etsy or my own shoppe. I will go out to local shops today and see if I can light a spark anywhere. Or am I just feeling down? Whatever the problem is I need to snap out of it. I love doing art works of all kinds and so what to share my art, besides giving it all away. NOW I GUESS I NEED A KICK IN THE REAR!! Ha Ha. Ok, I've unloaded enough.
It is a good day and I must be thankful for everything. A few prayers are in order here.
Happy Wed to all. Love, Carol Mae

    I think your things are beautiful. It may be that Christmas, the economy, and now with Haiti money is just tight with alot of people.

    Just wait and people will start buying again.

    I don't think there is an artist on the planet who hasn't felt the way you are feeling. So don't give up!! :-) With the economy the way it is and the inherent subjectivity connected to being a "successful" artist, I've come to realize that even if no one liked my work and not one piece ever sold, it's something I NEED to do. So...if it brings you joy to create and to offer your work to the world.....keep it up!!! :-)

    Hi Carol Mae,
    I suspect that you might be yet another victim of our economy so don't give up!!! Your art is so sweet, I don't even have "Art", so you are way ahead of me. Talented you... My 5 year old niece always says, "Winston Churchill says, 'Never ever give up!'"

    I know exactly what you mean, some days you feel like "why bother"....but, don't let it get you down girl...keep plugging away!!! I think you are a very creative person and it's normal to feel this way once and a while, and sometimes you have to try something different. Sometimes a creative mind is a frustrated mind...(that's cause you have so many great ideas all smooshing together at once) LOL!! take care~~your Wisconsin Buddy, Chris

    Sending "hugs" to you! I know this was posted a week or so ago...but, I was without computer for a time..so I'm sending 'belated hugs'.
    I feel like this more often than I care to admit...so I 'feel your pain'...and certainly your frustration.

    I (and I'm sure so many others) love what you do...so just try to 'hang in there'.
