"Even writers need relief from words."
~ sarah vowell ~

I'm coming up blank these days. I guess staying holed up in my studio, only venturing out on my twice-daily walks with the pups, or for quick trips to Trader Joe's for wine, doesn't make for very interesting stories. (Although, you should pop over to Mo's place...he can make an everyday bus commute sound like a scene in a Fellini movie.) I wish I had that guy's way with a story.

The good news is that I'm not blocked completely. I'm knee-deep in the creative process, it just doesn't involve writing at the moment. All my efforts are focused on things like this:



I honestly could not tell you why. It seems I have little control over the creative energy field that I'm channeling. I've just found it worthwhile to do what the voices tell me to. (I think they may be fairy voices, but that wouldn't exactly explain the other things I've been making...or would it?) Things like this:

I'll have to pay that Mo chap a visit.

It's also about being broke and underemployed, but pups and wine and cow-bunnies and fairies are some of the things I'm grateful for.

(Oh, and blog friends, can't forget them!)

Oh, Miss Cactus, I LOVE the new dress! You are so very talented.

I'm thinking you could make one heck of a Little Black Dress for a lucky New Year's Fairy out of some of those silky crow feathers.
