Well! November 1 starts the month...being creative, making art every day. Thank you for setting this up, Leah!
I anticipate becoming more aware every day of creative moments, defining and redefining what "making art" is for me. I'm new to this blogging thing so will try my best to keep you all abreast of my daily creativity.
I've been taking a cartoneria class at The Crucible with Ruben Guzman so will be posting the evolution of my "Ganesh"....here he is in his current state. Looks like he's in traction right now, eh? He's over a foot tall. I'm concerned I've taken on too big of a project for the duration of the class, which ends just before Thanksgiving. But, Ruben encourages us to just stay with the process, build a relationship with the piece and it will all unfold for us. Right now I'm struggling with the detail of Ganesh's hands and ears. Ruben has showed me several ways I might construct them. "Don't worry," he says calmly during class. I then take a deep breath and step back for a moment, and now I see a possible solution. I'm beginning to think I chose the perfect piece and the perfect teacher.
Ganesh is looking amazing!! Another AEDM-er was writing about Ganesh recently. When I find it again, I'll let you know.
