I have AADD
That's Artist's Attention Deficit Disorder.
I walked into Collage yesterday, where I immediately transformed into a kid in a candy store, or- more accurately- an artist in an art store.
Actually, the more appropriate description would be the starving artist in the art store.
In my dream home, I would have a room that looked like Collage. Every tool imaginable for any craft or artform that exists, all at my fingertips! What do I want to do today? Jewelery making? Ok! How about playing with stamps, or metal, or wood-carving, felt, watercolor, clay, EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING!
Sigh.
But I had $15 to spend, and all the smart-shopping in the world would not prepare me to buy all the goodies I desire with $15 dollars.
So I roamed the store, craft table to craft table...what do I want to work on?
I seem to start about a million projects, and finish none. I can't seem to stick to one medium long enough to see anything through, and that, my friends, is discouraging.
I've got some surprises in the works. Something I've never tried before, so I have a dear friend showing me the ropes. Fingers crossed, let's hope I don't suck, and let's hope even more that I don't give up. Because giving up sucks. I know. I give up on things a lot.
I mean A LOT.
It sucks.
Can you tell that I'm in a sort of rut?
It kind of sucks.

I totally get where you're at. That's all. Just wanted you to know someone else understand, has been there, will be there again.
I miss creating with the core of my being,
I wish we lived closer to each other because I would definitely work on projects with you. I tend to be the same with starting a bunch and never actually finishing anything, but maybe if we were both working on the same one we could make each other stick with it and finish :)
