Crafty Tuesday Inspiration Hit or Miss
Progress was made this week. Not as much as I would like, but at least some.
I did find the illusive cloth I needed to make Robin’s tunic so I have all that to work with.
I have probably more ideas for puppets that I want to make than I have room for to store.
Occasionally I am inspired by something I see and that puppet tends to jump line.
While in Hartford, I went to the very large local Jo-Ann’s Fabrics and crafts. I found this cloth that I debated about for a while before buying. It is red and has an interesting pattern. I have been watching the Richard Lester Three and Four Musketeers and the other day the Return of the Musketeers. So the characters are rather fresh in my mind. This cloth is so perfect for Rochefort. I am going to embark on making a puppet of the character for walk around at Dragon Con.
Creativity is not my problem. My mind is always going interesting places and finding things it wants to do. Time is my issue and I know it. Well that and a seriously over developed ability to procrastinate.
I have found ways to counter-act these tendencies but they are not fool proof.
One of the ways I hold myself responsible is to post about it here in my blog. I put it out in the public that I am going to do (fill in the blank) and it becomes more real.
Not that the real always translates into physical real which has been my past week. But I will do better this week.
So this week is all about Robin, Chris and two other puppets. Then onto the next four and so on until I have to pack for Dragon Con.
Right now I am feeling very Inspired. Let’s see how I am doing in a week.
I am grateful for Inspiration in all its forms.
