My Creative process: You have to win the battle to get to the Dance
I went through a phase where I made myself weave everyday, where I simplified the work, and thought about how to price it for stores.
That was boring
I stopped weaving for 2 months. ( for those of you that know me, that’s huge, that’s a long time.)
Then the voices started to come back, they started to whisper ideas. I ignored them……
Until I couldn’t
They got louder, more persistent, and demanding.
I went into the studio, sat down, fell into bliss and wove with pure freedom.
Two beautiful scarves came off of the loom. The muse had my attention.
She started to get pushy
Wanted to take me farther
She was pushing me into fear
I left the studio and returned to reading and watching movies in bed. This wasn’t blissful, but it was easy, safe, and didn’t require much of me.
The muse, wouldn’t stop, wouldn’t let me off the hook.
Back into the studio I went, back into a dance with bliss and fear.
This is my process:
ignore…..battle……dance
I only show you the dance
But you should know that if you want to create, really create, you’re going to have to battle, and you’re going to have to fight the battle hard, really hard if you ever want to get to the dance.
