Back for my bi-annual attempt to maintain and refrain. Maintain some momentum however interrupted and abrupt, and refrain from divulging the many woes that cause said disruption. 

I have very much lost misplaced my identity this year. There has been no aim, no goal, no planned next steps. As always, I am a textbook case of burnout and the well-rumored harrowing of a corporate work life. Coming home in a catatonic state and doing the bare minimum except what brings joy in the moment, and trying to forget the shame of having so many unfinished projects.

Anyway...

-------------------------------------------

I Did received my fabric with my design printed. Nothing made of it yet - definitely ordered too much so there's opportunities to play around with different items. Otherwise, I could hawk it on one of the many sewing groups as a limited item and watch the alt grannies scramble...



I Attempted a sketch journal, just snapshots of the week. I made it one page into March. Cute tho'. 



I signed up for a secret art show thing. You get given three cards with codes on the back. Paint it - collage, whatever, send it back and they add it to their shows across the country. Everything is $100 which goes to charity. No one knows who they're buying from until they buy it, so there are famous artists in amongst novices. I left it really late, and so I did one throwaway, one thing I would normally do, and one thing I thought would sell (a dragonfruit, and lo and behold - it's the only one that has). If I fall any further I may just paint generic pictures of fruit for a living. 

 I won't share my shame, instead here's the one I actually put thought into. 



Saw a pretty thing, tried to draw a pretty thing - all I had was HB that's as dark as it was gonna get. 



Somewhere amongst all this I painted a bunch of Chanterelle mushrooms - the idea being a sticker sheet. Chicks dig sticker sheets. 




------

I did eventually get around to putting a herb garden in and so I have at least been making the opportunity to go outside and touch grass. 




Is this all a little sad? Maybe. But, I persist on praising not the life I lead, but that which I ought to lead. I follow it at a mighty distance, crawling.

Those mushroom have a really nice vibrance to them they surely make good sticker. I really enjoy design that fill the page they remind me of removable tattoo sheet craze maybe you could do some skull with that goal in mind or just sticker if that your lane.
