It’s been a long time.
12/28/21
I started to make things today again for the first time in a long time. I realized that I need to experiment much more with the materials I am using and learn how to use them again.
This attitude of immediate satisfaction (or gratification) is not helpful to me making things and being consistent in making them. I get impatient quickly.
I have ideas that I’ve wanted to start. But I have not planned those ideas on paper yet, only in my head. It is hard to make what is in your head in one sitting when you do not have a plan. It is hard to make things in one sitting in general. When I sit down to make a plan on paper, my ideas start to dissolve and disappear.
I have ideas. I have ideas.
I need to experiment more. Learn what it is that I am doing so that when I make a plan, it is informed by the experimentation I’ve been doing. Izabella, remember, the experimentation is not to finish with an end product, but instead with an understanding of the material and how you can potentially use it in the future.
