But it's been a real struggle and my art and blog show it, and suffer. Like all things, this too shall pass.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471762505815161197.post-74713388170702291702010-03-05T14:38:39.661-05:002010-03-05T14:38:39.661-05:00Ohhh so many inspiring pieces in one place!

And after a flurry of activity prepping tags for an Alice in Wonderland swap, I'm in that slump, too. But I know it'll pass.

One thinks that maybe one has created everything that we have stored away in our creative psyche. But...truly, it's only waiting to re-emerge all refreshed and ready with new inspiration! Again...I promise! It happens to me so frequently. In fact, today was one of those days. So what did I do? I went out and did something very BAD! I had a burger and fries at McDonalds! Oh my! And I made some changes in my studio so when I return tomorrow it is all ready for me!<br />Blessings! <br />DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471762505815161197.post-74903782562006843422010-03-04T11:49:44.747-05:002010-03-04T11:49:44.747-05:00Wow - I love all your inspiration art.

Especially the woman with the fringe, fourth picture down.<br /><br />If you're waiting for the Muse, I always take some time and fill up the well. Do some things that inspire you, that feeds your Muse. For me that means watching films, listening to music, going to live performances - something that sparks my creativity.

I have lots and lots of things that I was very excited about lying around (a new spinning wheel, paperclay, patterns) yet I'm not inspired to do anything. I do seem to be able to muster up the strength to think about doing things...maybe that counts???

I know you are not motivated by cute but the pixie can do wonders for down in the dumps moments. Between going to the dentist and the Olympics ending I can see why the day felt sad.<br />I LOVED watching the Olympics. Vancouver is where I was born. I may have mentioned I'm a displaced Canadian living just over the border in the USA. I came down long ago when I was a little girl but what family I have left is in B.C. and Saskatchewan. My mom was from Assiniboia and my dad from Saskatoon. I'm very proud of what Canada accomplished. It was a grand event for sure! Come over and see my bears, they'll make you smile today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942436730835255946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471762505815161197.post-75088633254476732282010-03-03T01:10:49.582-05:002010-03-03T01:10:49.582-05:00I have felt the same way lately, which is one reas...I have felt the same way lately, which is one reason I haven't been blogging.

I do something totally different than my usual artwork. Could be anything other than what your comfortable with. This forces you to be uninhibited in anyway because you are doing something unfamiliar to your norm. Don't make it a hugely detailed project, something fun and silly. You'd be surprised what happens. Your muse comes back! works for me every time. It takes the pressure off and you start thinking in a new creative way which always brings back you familiar and favorite muse!

As the posters have noticed there are times that MMS decides to take a hike and let you manage on your own. This can be due to several reasons: 1) you have ignored said Miss Muse and watched way too much Olympic games featuring those red maple leaf hunks and cuties; 2) Miss Muse was just depressed because you became depressed because there are no more winter games for four years and both of you will be four years older; or 3) A muse gotta do what a muse gotta do. So don't over think it, roll with the tide, send me all your beautiful inspirational pieces featured in this blog post and your Muse, my Muse, and me will be very happy campers.....OK, I'll send your Miss Muse back when I receive the art work. Yes, I have to admit it, I'm holding her hostage and she is eating me out of house and home. You have spoiled her way too much. Love the art work! Love you!
