grab the Mic and let the beat go.

In my line of creating, there can be a lot of waiting....  

Tonight, I find myself waiting for the glue to dry.....

These moments can be frustrating, I know what to do next, but I must respect my piece enough to give it a rest.

I find this realization symbolic as I just opened a fortune cookie that says, “Killing time murders opportunities.”

This piece is a gift for my Grandmother's birthday. These beautiful flowers surround the perimeter of her yard, almost like a protective barrier, a fence of flowers! I love them and all the good energy they share.

In my line of creating, there is also a lot of chaos.

There is glue and paper everywhere.
There are ideas bouncing back and forth between the soul I am creating and the soul I am using to create.
There are corners, backs, and sides just craving attention.
There are colors and textures learning to get along.

So...in these moments, when I find myself just waiting for my piece to breathe, I like to breathe.....

When it comes to my art, I know my fortune cookie is wrong. I don’t think killing time is murdering opportunities, I think it is giving me an opportunity to enjoy the process and the beauty of what is blooming on my canvas.
