Needleroozer Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I love your art! You are so much farther along the artistic path than I am- I am self-taught and just learning, and your work is very inspirational for me! THanks for putting it out there. I think we should start one of those blog rings- "Homeschooling moms who make art" or Artist moms who happen to homeschool, or something like that!

percytruffle Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Oh LB, you made my day! How very sweet of you to say that. I am still learning too; don't sell yourself short, fellow artist. We are all learning together:). It's so nice to be able to share with and talk with other artists that are also homeschoolers. I feel like I never accomplish enough, but then I remember, oh yeah, I do homeschool still! That's kind of a big job. Maybe we do need to start a support group for accountability and encouragement. Thanks for giving me encouragement tonight:D Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicGyrl Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 well, if you can be patient, when I get my art blog up, I can add you guys to it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have to say I agree. I just love looking at your artwork on your blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percytruffle Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 That would be great, Toni. When your blog is done I'll add your to my blog list too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicGyrl Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am waiting on some prints to return. I sent them out to be printed so I can test this company I am considering using for my work. If they come back the way I want them to, the blog goes up. I won't put the blog up until I get them back and determine whether they are worth using. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needleroozer Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Cool! You are really moving fast! As for me, I finished several projects today, and am almost ready to open an etsy shop- I'd like to have more than one piece to start with. Yes, do link me once you get a blog, and I will link you, too. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percytruffle Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 You ladies are making my head spin. I better get into my studio soon! I've been spending my time applying for an art teacher position at a local Christian school for this fall and scheduling classes I'm offering to the local hs group this spring. Hopefully that will all be resolved soon and I can get back at my art. I'll keep you all updated. Can't wait to see your Etsy shop LB!

Crissy, thanks for the support. Do you do any drawing lately? I have seen your beautiful drawing of your little one- I loved that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit letting that 'self-taught' label hold you back. Do you think most artists have formal training? I think the majority just have an artistic soul. It's just part of the person. You are, simply, an Artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smacking forehead and saying in my best Carrie Fischer voice, "You're right, you're right, I know you're right." I keep saying I am letting go of the wanna-be artist story, but then I hang on to it a little bit- I think I can tend to use it as an excuse for not producing. If I am an artist, then I need to BE the artist! If I can conquer just this one thing, this year, I will have come a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well, not every artist creates every day. Think ahead. Your children will be in college soon and you'll be in that studio for nine or ten hours EVERY SINGLE DAY! Life gets in the way some times. It's not your fault.

Crissy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ooohh, that makes me salivate just thinking about it!! Me, too. I am beginning to see that my children will do well without me, and I am looking forward to the hours I will have to devote to My Stuff.
