The fact that I am once again moving across the Atlantic really helps me get my act together.
During the last few years I have collected so many materials for projects small and large, and thought that 'One day I can make something from these things you call Junk'. Well... Now is that day. Today is the beginning of my two-month plan to make all my material into artwork and/or functional items. It is also the day that I am really stepping up to say unemployment is not my game.
I have started my etsy account, and about to sign up for a paypal account. I am hoping that all the things I have collected and carried with me from one house to another will actually do what I thought they might - help me make a living, and help make the world a pretty and green place.
Tell me, what is your inspiration for getting all those projects going that you have put off for the last years?

Hello Laura, I just wanted to leave you a wee message. I found your blog through your etsy site. Super cute deer brooch!!!
ReplyDeleteI admire what you are doing very much!
At the moment my inspiration for "getting all those projects going" is very similar to yours! I moved to Japan 8 months ago and am working in my first real job, after art school, as an english teacher... but I think I'm having a mid-twenties crisis - I've realised I want to/have to make things for my living.
Good luck with your 2 month plan - I shall be reading!
Hi Mirabel! I like how you say you 'have to' make things for living... I feel like that about 'having to' collect junk to later make it into things. Also I am quickly learning that if I actually have time, making is what I will do. Being nearly unemployed has taught me so much about myself. I hope you will enjoy your projects as much as I am enjoying mine!
