The mixed feelings come from if it is worth it posting art or writing a blog at all. It takes a lot to put yourself out there and I wonder if it is really worth it. I think a lot of artists feel this way at one time or another. I think the feelings came from trying to be perfect in an imperfect world. So I just had to get quiet and regroup.
I did not work in my Index cards for a couple of days, watched some art videos for inspiration and took a nap. Lo and behold it worked. I started working on my cards and loved the boldness of the colors, and the ideas I had. I noticed that my cards this year have much more freedom than last year.
I am using a larger card (4x6) and experimenting with supplies that I have.
What else did I do this week. Tried the Oprah Chai at Starbucks, it is soooo good. Had a great visit with a friend at Starbucks, visited Premium Outlet Mall on Thursday, had a really great Small church Community session on Tuesday evening.
Week three starts on Sunday, excited to see what this week will bring. The prompts for ICAD are interesting, but I do want to try coming up with some of my own ideas. We shall see.
Oh, more groovy news. I won a price from Marjie Kemper. She is celebrating her 600th blog post and had a random giveaway. So happy to win some really cool art products. Will post a picture when they arrive.
Looking forward to having an arty week.
Until later....pilgrim

Love these images. Day 11 Mixed Up Alphabet is very successful. I keep wanting to look at it more closely. I like them all, but this is particularly appealing.
You are inspiring Glenda -- don't ever doubt that! Blessings!
Great stuff! Looks like you're having fun and that's important. 😊
Thank you for your comments Christine and Lisa. I am having fun.
Enjoyed your ICAD pieces - especially the mixed up alphabet. I took a look back through my blog yesterday and I can say it is worth it for me even in no one else ever looked at it. I can remember what was going on in my "other" life based on what I was creating at the time. I can also say there were things I've made that I'm not that jazzed about now, but others made me go "dang - that was pretty good even then!". I recommend taking a "tour" of your older posts and see if you find it re-inspires you - it certainly did that for me.
Best.
I love your art my dear!
Do not give up blogging.
It is healing i think, putting it out there...releasing it into the.cosmos.
And you never know who you will inspire or delight!
I still have the amazing card you made for me years ago for an art swap of some kind...and i still adore it and the woman who created it!
Much love to you sweet pilgrim.
Ok, i had this loooooong lovely response and my phone lost it.
So i will say that I love you and I think you are an amazing woman and artist and I cherish the artwork that I have gotten from you years ago. It was a card from an art swop and it was very colorful and really meant a lot to me. Keep blogging because you never know who you will inspire and uplift with your words and your artwork...You are loved dear pilgrim.
