borrowing my housemate's laptop for an iFix...
creatively things have been fallow of late - actually, the last time i really felt like creating anything was decorating my Christmas tree, filling the house with warm light and creating handmade gift wrapping from all sorts of found stuff. i've been struggling to find my voice. afraid to express all that's been locked up inside me this past year and yet knowing that i need to let these things out... and to do so creatively. for that's what has helped in the past - that's where health is born. to let go of self-judgment and give oneself permission to put on the page or on canvas what one fears expressing... i feel like i'm relearning something i already learnt... makes me feel like an old dog. still, there's no past, no future, only today.
so i'm guessing i might need to get the paints out and make a mess on some paper... i'm itching to try some mixed media with fabric and paper and paint... play about a bit...
but for now i'll settle for choosing a nail polish to work with the purple streaks in my hair and experimenting with something i've not cooked before. necessary nourishments of a whole other kind...
