Such grace and beauty! How inspirational. Thank you, I sent a link to my facebook page. It's the best antidote for manic mondays.

We must love all that is precious ourself and the other

That is great content Bailey "Every time some soul is oppressed the world loses out"

Fear of the other and judgement is indeed a large part of what creates pain war cruelty and abuse

As we say here at Vita love the other as one would be loved ..Of course one needs to have loved ones self ,,,

It is amazing, isn't it? And such a metaphor for so much more. True magic. Thanks for commenting!

This was a great article, on a wonderful story. I've seen them dance before (not in person of course--video on the web somewhere). My husband showed it to me originally. I LOVED watching them dance.

Really, really beautiful. Thank you.

I love handcrafting and everytime My niece and my nephew needs a costume or needs to dress up for something, I always gladly volunteer to add embellishments to what their parents had bought for them.

Good point

I wasn't really considering the time lost at the receptionist desk, and it does help to hear from other artists who have had possitive experiences with commerical work! Thankyou!

More Depth than the Popular Design Sites

Great resource. I am happy to find 2 or 3 Things' blog. Cerre has a simple approach, saying very little and allowing the reader to interpret. It's a challenge to "read" when the design, art craft inspirations aren't synthesized for me. I'll have to hit the books!

I think you're limiting yourself!

I think you have more than a finite number of catchy tunes in you--or if there are only so many, there are a lot more than you could ever use if you were chained to a receptionist's desk for part of your time! I would even argue that more commercial work could potentially feed your more personal work.

In the past, I've done some more commercial work, drawings for posters and that sort of thing. While I'm not sure that I'd do it again at the moment, I do remember it being useful: it got me out of my own head, while still helping me to hone my craft. Maybe it would work that way for you...?

Good luck!

Decorations...blah

I am like you, I am not much into Halloween decorating, unlike all of my neighbors. I am trying to do better and hoping that I will the older my son gets.

Fujifilm

Beyond the nostalgia angle, I have to admit that I'm a little perplexed by the interest in instant photos. However, Fujifilm just came out with a new instant film camera, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S, for only $85. The prints are about the size of a credit card, with an image area of 1.8- by 2.4-inches.

Participating too!

Yes, I'm giving it a go this year. Hopefully will get past my 2000 word previous attempt record.

While I'd love to get to the 50,000 - my primary goal will be to try to write something, anything, every day.

Good luck with your challenge!

I find there's a big difference

Between design I like and design I can live with (erm, and afford).

I Would Be Everywhere - I Just Sucked It Up

I use to have thousands of bookmarks. I've lost thousand of them too. I'd camp out at sites and just fed off the goodness. There are so many more talented people than crum bums. I was on library computer text based browers and I still loved it.

And the flame wars I've witness? Cheeze, it was just bad. I don't miss that because I learned to stay out of heated zones but mercy, it was rough.

I try to make time just to cruise but it is harder; so many more places to visit and spam to avoid.
