Here's a peek at today's work table.
I put in a 14-hour day yesterday, and managed to get everybody base-painted. Gee, I wonder what color I'm loving this week?
Dylan and I are finally embarking on a project we've been wanting to do for months-- making a pattern with an instructional DVD. (It's tricky. There is lots of planning involved, something neither one of us is too keen on.) So today, I'm doing step-by-step drawings for the pattern part, and getting three Santas started on the road towards their small-screen debut.
I'm super camera shy, definitely preferring a behind-the-scenes role. So I'm really nervous about my part in the video. Dylan assures me that it'll mostly just be my hands doing their arty thing. Hmmm. . . maybe I'd better dig the paint out from under my fingernails.
Anybody else stepping out
of their comfort zone today?
NO WAY! TOO scary to even think about. I don't even have a current picture of my face anywhere to be found on the internet...BUT...You be brave. Pretty soon we'll see you dancin' in the moonlight...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea. Folks have loved your work and I'm sure they, as I am, are curious about your methods! You have such a distinct style....even if others make things from your pattern, it will be much different! Go Girl!
ReplyDeleteI stepped out of my zone earlier this year with Self Portrait Wednesdays. But creatively, I am stepping out more and more... I have always loved certain media but just have not done them. And now I am...
ReplyDeleteYou're one of the instigators of this, btw. Just sayin'...

So cool....love the red! Your worktable is SO neat and organized looking!
ReplyDeleteI think the video of your pattern is going to be wonderful! Great idea!
WOW! An instructional DVD and a pattern project created by The Cart team...sounds exciting and I can't wait :+}.
ReplyDeleteDon't you worry about your role in front of the camera - you'll be great! We will be so intriqued with what you are doing and trying to mimmick it that we won't even see you ;+}.
I have all the faith in the world that you can do this. (I am a retired teacher who almost fainted (I did cry) when I had to give an oral report in front of my class in high school). Absolutely LOVE your work!
Blessings,

ReplyDeleteA&E with my grandson, with a 'pulled elbow'.
As you know it's hard being a mum when your babies have a pain, but being a Julie-nanna is really hard, comforting your own baby and her baby was such a trauma and double the heartache.
I must just add, that the doctor (are they getting younger, this one I'm sure hadn't left school yet) just held Reu's elbow tightly and with a twist of his arm it clicked and he was right as rain within an instant, no crying and best of all, no pain.
Jo, I hope making your film is not quite so traumatic, I shall look forward to the results, I shall be holding your hand metophorically speaking, while you take to the stage.
All's well that ends well, from a very tired an exausted Julie-nanna.
Hello There......may I exchange work tables with you? You would have plenty of room to do whatever you wanted on mine......because.....it's empty. For the time being I am just imagining what could be there, which would be good for an April Fool's Art Show only. Anyway, don't be nervous about appearing on camera...only a few thousand people will be watching......and be sure to tell what color nail polish you have on too. I am looking forward to seeing this new venture......wishing you luck. I am usually zoned out...... so now I will zone in on your new video.....the dream team together once again! Most important have fun doing it.
ReplyDeleteWow ! A DVD pattern, that's a cool idea ^^
ReplyDeleteDoes getting the flu shot count as stepping out of your comfort zone? I just did that today. Ye-ow! Looks very interesting your works in progress. I will be checking your Sunday night debut!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the video. I'm sure it will be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYes. Lately I have felt out of my comfort zone due to deadlines and creating new pieces for buyers:)
Wow I'd love to buy you're DVD!
ReplyDeleteFunny I have a ceramic plaque that says "Do one thing everyday that scares you"
Yes I stepped totally our of my comfort zone and started my own ning to teach polymer clay dolls... I am so challenged now so I understand.
I'll be watching for your DVD : )
