Recently I’ve been toying with making new art – treasure boxes based on stories. I’m sneaking up on it slowly, so it won’t get scared and run away!

I’m looking forward to more of your creations!

It certainly resonates with my situation. I'm right in the middle of getting to launch a new product line, stemming from my current art business, as a decorative painter and muralist. Doing this has required a tremendous amount of work, countless hours, patience, and deep breathing when the fear and frustration get overwhelming. I just posted today about the creative process (step-by-step guides to producing various kinds of art) on my blog ArtIsEverywhere (http://www.ashley-spencer.com/ArtIsEverywhere/. I get lots of inspiration from many sources and I find the blog outlet to be helpful to organize it all. It's hard, however, for an artist to balance the business and the creative side -- one takes from the other, but the inspiration & seeing the end result are the drivers to power through.

But I have found a way to express myself - through the way I pull myself together everyday - through clothing, jewelry, accessories. Fortunately, I am self-employed so I have no dress code imposed upon me and I can wear what I want. I use color and style and texture as my paintbrushes and touch it all up with a little lipstick and eyeshadow! Often people will tell me that they love my dress or shoes or necklace or overall look and I get alot of pleasure out of this validation of my chosen art form. One day, I may find the time to paint, or sew, or sculpt but for now, something as simple as getting dressed works!
