I really miss doing art.
I am glad I am getting supplies again, but it’s not just the supplies that is the problem, it’s the where I can do art that is.
I’ve mentioned before my private spaces are just not respected in this house, my art table is getting messier and messier over time with other people’s junk and nobody is making effort to tidy up after themselves so I can use my art table for what it supposed to be used for – ART!
Henry has been given a project at school to complete by his birthday in May – this is to complete a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle on his own at home to then take to the school to show the teacher his project has been completed – this is entirely doable, however, this means I have to dismantle my puzzle for him to start a new one so he can do this and this means that he will now need to use the art table to do it.
We used to have a decorating table for my puzzle, but the piles of junk around the house have hidden it and we can’t find it.
Life here is getting above a blooming joke now.
Instead, I am contemplating making a cushion fort in the corner of my bedroom to sit on the floor cross-legged with my pooh board covered in cling film so I can use that as an art table and paint in the bedroom – not ideal, because water and paints on a carpet protected only by old magazines is not ideal and my position will be behind a door.
Whenever people come into the room to tell me anything they literally bust into the room and the door usually bounces off whatever is behind it, which when I do my art fort will be me and the jar of water no doubt!
I want to start painting some covers for my poetry books I am going to start making to sell on Amazon.
I am desperate to compile several anthologies of my poetic works as eBooks and paperbacks through Amazon publishers.
I also wanted to start my self-employment before Easter and a major part of that was selling my artwork in various formats and selling things via SquareSpace.
Some of my previous artworks I wanted to find a way to send the images to a company in order to create toys from the characters I’ve made. I don’t know how to do that yet, but I am learning as I go along.
I’ve always wanted to design toys like this; I have a big love for soft toys.
Thanks for reading…
