Making a Mess

All good things come from chaos.  All good chaos is messy.  I've been making a good mess.

It has been ages since I've sculpted.  So long in fact I don't think Frank has ever seen me do it!  I haven't had anything I really wanted to work on.  I suffer from the "now what do I do with it?" syndrome.  My mind doesn't work to the more fantastic areas, more the practical, so I am far from the tortured artist who MUST CREATE.  I love doing it, but don't become obsessed by a vision.  I think of myself as a mocking bird.  I can copy most anything.  Translating forms is pretty easy and I don't consider that particularly creative.  It's what you do with those translations that is art.

My current project is more craft than art, but if it turns out as well as I hope it should be pretty neat.  It is definitely a labor of love.  That said, let's hope it doesn't turn out like a kindergarten art project!  I'll keep you posted!
