I am a creative person by nature. My mind just works in ways that can be unfathomable to others but it works for me. How I see the world is a little off, literally. I have a slight stigmatism in one eye that throws the world off about a \u00bc of an inch. This means that doorways and I have been very familiar with each other. I have learned to compensate for it like my dyslexia and it really doesn\u2019t bother me much unless I am very tired.<\/p>\n
But there times that I need a motivation (deadline) to get my head back into the creative game. This month I am doing two art dolls, one paperdoll, and a Harry Potter bookmark. And I have less than two weeks. Then I have the Farpoint Artshow where I premi\u00e8re some new pieces and new ideas that carry me through the year. Then I have LunaCon, Shoreleave, and probably DragonCon. I might have another one or two in there but they aren\u2019t on my calendar yet. <\/p>\n
Given a deadline, I get very focus. I am trying to teach myself to focus at other times rather than doing it all at once at the last minute. I am a great last minute person but I can see what I could have done if I had taken some time or had some more time. I also know that I tend to futz when I do have time and can go overboard with the detailing. Part of it is that I work out an entire project in my mind. I go over what I want to do and go through the possibilities to achieve what I want. I discard some and use other ideas. By the time I am sitting down and working, I have gone through the \u201chow\u201d about a dozen times. <\/p>\n
So I am going to do some cleaning that needs to be done, find some supplies I need, and get cracking on my 4 projects due by Feb. 1st. Next will be a stuffed critter challenge for an Olympic theme challenge. Then the conventions.<\/p>\n
