Where Do You Go My Lovely...

The ‘My Lovely’ in question is in fact my Mojo!

Since making the quickie necklace (see previous post) that creative thing that I hear many people calling their Mojo has up and done one.

Well actually if I am honest, I could just be blaming him or her even for my complete lack of enthusiasm and can’t be bothered attitude, both of which are firmly ensconced.

I have plenty I could be doing, my step father’s birthday card for one, which is in a few days. I have lots of projects all written and sketched out in my various ideas books, I have absolutely loads and loads of ideas running around in my head. So I can’t really say it’s the creative thought process that is eluding me – I’m just being out and out lazy!

But what can you do when you get like that – I keeping saying to myself, come on mrs, have a word with yourself, get your backside into gear – but I’m just not listening.

So this afternoon, quite late on I took myself upstairs, got sat down at my work space and said out loud “come on, just do it”!

This is the result – there is no rhyme or reason, doesn’t really make any sense (but then again, does it have to?) but at least I have emerged from that craft room triumphant – I have made something!

The ‘face’ was already sat there, I had used two different stamps and white embossing powder to create a resist image for when I added the distress inks, but had not got any further than that. Which is a shame because I had intended to enter whatever I ended up making into the last Craft Stamper challenge. That didn’t happen because it was abandoned when the lazy vibe took over and I realised I would not get it finished in time.

I started with the face this afternoon and literally just started adding torn papers, words, ink, embellishments and more stamping. I didn’t really think about it, wasn’t that precise about where things were placed and wasn’t that bothered if it ended up looking messy (you can see the glue in some places)

 I was just determined not to come out of that room without having been productive and a little bit creative.

I am going away in a couple of weeks so maybe that will reinvigorate me and when I get back I’ll be like a maniac and it’ll be non-stop creating…
