They Can't Always Wear Mittens




I feel mixed media is still new to me, I want more, I want youth, I want hands, I want age, I want bodies to have shape sometimes, somtimes I just want pretty and a vague story that comes to mind in the viewing is OK. I feel disappointed when I get stiff looking work.


I always think the story is more important than how long it took me. Sometimes the labor is important when I have difficulty. It is hard to admit to difficulty. If it all came really easy would I be as interested? I think the challenge drives me.




My title is true I have to work on hands, find a style, be satisfied, and not fret the whole time I am doing a piece of art that the hands will give me trouble. I have done studies, taken information off the net on written tutorials that have helped.


I have also been thinking of teens I have seen or young girls wearing not warm enough clothing,
it has been 22 below here mornings and I see kids with not enough on. I hear conversations


that tell me some are not satisfied with Chrstmas. It was inspiration really, I remember doing the same, hating boots, wishing I had something else, it is just typical of that time of one's life.
