Sometimes I think back to past artistic conversations and wonder if I'm ever going to get over my craft ADD. I have to work on 2-3 paintings at once in order to keep my focus, and I don't even know how many knitting projects I have tucked away in my little..
..I'm not sure what it's called other than 'my latest thrift store find'..
Then there are the many projects around the house which usually revolve around the kids and general upkeep.
It reminds me of the summer of 2011 right before Nate went to his sculpture symposium. He talked about making one of those sculptures of people getting crushed by huge columns. How it was symbolic in so many ways, of people trying to stand upright no matter what pressures they are met with, like Atlas and the weight of the world, only they were just people and some of them occassionally got crushed, but usually they were just left in awkward poses.
So here I sit thinking about Black Friday, money, school, the kids, Christmas, art history, my show this May... and I feel the column gaining more and more weight over my head.
Speaking of Black Friday, I had an accumulation of gift cards that are officially all used up. I can't say what all I got, but I spent about $150 on gifts for 3 people, a waffle maker, a deep fryer, new stockings for the whole family, and a 4ft prelit tree. I only stayed up until 2am and only went shopping at 2 department stores.
Is it silly that my favorite part is that the waffle maker is one of those ones that flips over while it cooks!?! I've always wanted one ever since I was little and my mom introduced me to continental breakfasts.
Here's some ADD for you, next spring my dad is thinking about planting me a madder plant. That could work right? I need to be properly taught about natural dyes, since what I've been reading on my own is apparently not working out as much as I'd like.
I need to put some photos on my posts. Too bad my phone is dead right now. Maybe next time I need to procrastinate.
