the wannabe artisan

exploring the artisan in me....just means that I dabble ALL the time. Really, I can't stop myself, and yes, I used the word dabble. So while I don't call myself a true artisan of any craft, I do think I have a wannabe artisan, albeit a confused one, inside me that demands to be explored. And I know I am not alone, so, what does your inner artisan wannabe?

Sometimes it is as simple as a meal for me, like a monster salad and out comes the foodie photos.

Sometimes it is like way back in college when ART became a passion, a diversion, a path I didn't mean to meander onto.

Sometimes it is crayons or better yet pastels and coloring books, like my FAVORITE one from Superdude filled with famous paintings you can color yourself.

Sometimes it is a random thought for a Christmas gift that turned into a run to the craft and bead stores and blossomed into gem trees.

 

Sometimes it is a request from a sister to make a jewelry tree stand for a niece.

Next maybe, hmmm, I don't know yet. It might be a jewelry piece or fabrication of jewelry I haven't tried like resin and sterling silver--that's been spinning around in my head lately. Also there's the painting that I keep picking up and playing with... I guess all that matters is that I keep exploring, right?

Something I do to survive the winter blahs and blues, guess this is God's art too, but then, hey, isn't it all?
