The sun hit London town today.
Finally.
And, after quite some time of deathly silence, inspiration hit me.

I have been struggling on empty for the past couple of weeks.
On a number of occasions I have sat down with my materials, only to pack them all away some moments later.

My heart and soul have been experiencing a lot of turmoil recently and instead of filling me with angry passion, I have just been in full hibernation. 

Empty. Scared.

I should have been lying in a park somewhere but I couldn't face the prospect of being alone with those thoughts of mine. 
Not another day of that, please.

I sat at my table ...

and I began by watching this:




and then I also listened to some Joanna Newsom and Tom Petty





and, hey presto, I made 8 cards. Ones what I feel proud of.

It feels a tiny bit better to be inside my head. 

every baby step counts I suppose

  3. I just read that article colm recommended. It's good to know that a lot of work went into elizabeth collecting her thoughts as it always takes me ages to get mine together into something comprehensible.
