With the season change, I sometimes loose my mind. Literally- I forget things, I forget my routine, and I feel that I have to learn the patterns of my life all over. It is a strange experience, one that happens a few times each year and one that I never get used to. My creative side falls into a gray place when this happens, and though that sounds sad, it really isn't. I wake up from this, and something new will be found, some unknown talent. A new favorite color, a new technique, a fearlessness that allows me to learn more about what I build and make, a fever to build and create more without question. With all this jumbling around in my head, on Sunday I will pack up paper, and wood, and paint and glue and wax and head to Santa Clarita Craft Lab to share the fun of working with encaustic wax. I love this class. I love to be there when people start to see there are so few limits with this medium, and the ideas start to fly around and the excitement takes over the room, and they allow themselves that opportunity to do anything. It feels like giggling, but all the way into your bones. That is what I get to do on Sunday. How lucky am I?

Oooh, I love the creative frenzy... all the buzz and excitement bouncing all over the place :) I hope it recharges your batteries! Rediscovering your inner artist over and over again (creative rebirth)? Why does that seem totally normal? hehe ;) Please post pics from your weekend :) xoxo
