Not checked your blog for a few days, Paula- ..and YES, you should take time to step back on as regular/often a basis as you can...you are, like most creative, giving people, always working, and sharing, so you need to re-charge. I've seen from lecturing students that lots of true learning happens in the small breaks/gaps from study/work; their brains absorb the knowledge so that they really have it at their fingertips as a sort of 'organic' fundament/foundation for further learning and thinking. It seems that when they have gone through this 'gap-learning' process they are so much more able to work effortlessly towards fruitful results. So for a true artist, I think that 'creativity' happens very much 'in the gaps..' so take gaps, and as you've already said that you are aware of the need to understand the process/order in your art, I hope that you can switch off regularly! Phew, a long comment! I really enjoy your art and your way of creating, your style.These newest cards are great, lovely style- Thank you :) Cathy
- and this card suggests tennis to me- court lines, net,your stamped sentiment being the ball! Truly, creative, gifted, and the mag article is soooo good! Thanks! Cathy
