Current Attitude: Tired and in a sucky mood.
About Fame: Screw that! I would like to see some return for all the work I put out.
Economics: I don't make enough sales to pay for a months worth of grocery bills, let alone buy supplies.
Reality Check: Hey, I didn't expect I would be able to make a living with my art, but I did expect to see my efforts justified even if on a wee scale.
Positives: I get pleasure from doing street/found art, from fun projects like the art ball machine, doing my art blog, the process of creating, but err, I do have to pay bills.
Another Reality Check: Not sure there is a darned thing I can do about that, that is the nature of being in the arts.
Solution: Rest and an attitude change like GET OVER IT. It will be fine, I will be fine. Here are some burnout tips some might find helpful, including myself. Whine over!!!!!!!
Meanwhile here is a picture of a doll my friend jafajan and I made several years ago for a mutual friend whose husband had walked out on her. It wasn't meant to be a voodoo doll, but more a vehicle for our friend to vent her pain and her hopes. Jan supplied the pins and I supplied heart stickers. Huh! after I found out a little about something he did a long time ago I think pins were too good for him, but that is another story.
Maybe I should make an art doll for ME!
By the way did you know china banned voodoo dolls in 2006 , which resulted in a new craze. People always want what they can't have eh!
Meanwhile back at the ranch, some think there is money to be made from these two dolls.
By the way did I mention I am sick this bloody kimono, will be so glad when the darned thing is finished.
