Creating Beauty

This week has finally had a turn around.  After what I believe was a successful release of the man in my dreams, I was left with a great energy that needed to be put to work.  I started trying my hand at a new form of artwork in the form of wiring.  No, I'm not done with my other types, the canvas for my next painting is waiting on the easil and my camera is sitting by waiting for another opportunity to capture beauty, but I love being able to play in so many different creative arenas.  For me, it is like being able to see all the colors of the rainbow, not just the red, yellow or blue.  With all the different mediums I play in I am able to capture and create beauty with them all, maybe even combine them to see what can happen then.  Who knows. 

I used to think bouncing from one thing to another was a bad thing.  Someone actually commissioned a painted chair from me saying, 'I want to get it ordered before you go on to doing other things.'  I didn't quite know how to take that at first, thinking something must be wrong with me if I can't stay with one thing.  The person who commissioned it did.  She is amazing at the craft she does and is quite successful.  Me, on the other hand, have bounced from thing to thing with small successes in each but nothing that has taken off and become my one thing.  Now looking back though, I do not think that is so bad.  Quite the opposite.  I love it because it does not stop me from trying new things or pushing myself to my limits to see where the line is and how much I can move it to become a new limit. 

So, here is to new and exciting avenues of creation.  Here is to the beauty that will come from my two hands and my heart.  I am thrilled to see what new beauty I can create.  Blessed be.
