Re: Bushwacking. (Or, It’s Gotta Be Around Here Somewhere…)

I've done a LOT of bushwacking in my life, lol. Currently bushwacking, as a matter of fact. For the last few months I've been distracted by all the pretty flowers that other people call weeds, because they're not near the creativity road. Sometimes I get off the road to avoid stumbling blocks that would actually help me if I would just work through the problem instead of trying to go around it. Of course I get lost for a while in the weeds, end up getting back on the road where I left off, and work through the stumbling block anyway while hitting my head on something hard and telling myself I'm a dolt for not working through the problem in the first place.

I think I can do the photography, it's just finding the gumption to take the camera (which, btw, is sitting right next to me on my desk!), moving the jewelry pieces outside, figuring out props/backgrounds (for which I'm planning on using monotone but pretty papers). Pure laziness- but after talking about it here this morning I'm pretty sure I'll go ahead and do it, since the sun is out and I'm at home today.

I'd be very happy to support other indie folk, thanks for the reminder! Yesterday I was looking at the local printer's website but I'd much rather get cards, tags etc from a fellow craftsperson. Thanks Craftivista and Miriam!

I don't know why I'm holding back. Maybe I'm trying to 'get better' at my craft (making jewelry). I've been taking classes at the local art center, which has helped me to see that I'm pretty good at it, and I get all sorts of encouragement from different people. I need to learn how to take good photos but I haven't worked on it yet. I need to get some business cards made, still working on a design. Maybe I'm trying to do too many things at once.
