STILL SKETCHY
My pile of art supplies for my sketchbook project.
Paint, markers, technical pens, glue stick, paper supplies and a big imagination are all sitting on my dresser, next to my bed. I’m usually standing in front of an easel or sitting at a table with a paintbrush in my hand, and without a given topic, so this is new territory for me. I have never considered myself a “journal person”….I know some Master Journal Goddesses and I just don’t have what it takes, I guess. No comparison to Violette, Teesha Moore, Suzi Blu, Jane Eileen, Kristy Baker or many of the very talented journal artists. So, I am mostly strengthening my ability to ignore my inner critic, and she seems to have A LOT to say as I play with this book! I have never appreciated authority figures all that much and my inner critic thinks she is an expert on EVERYTHING (don’t tell her, but, I really don’t like her and I wish she would just move out!). I never invite her into my studio when I’m creating, but sometimes she just barges in. So rude. Nonetheless, I am having fun.

Tell “Missy” that I said, “Don’t make me have to come over there.” I have a trunk, and I am not afraid to use it.
Better yet, next time she shows up, just look her square in the eye with a twinkle in yours and a scary grin, and say in a firm confident voice, “BItch, please!”
