After almost a two year gap from blogging, I was hoping to start back into it with a much more interesting topic than I am, but to be honest, this thing has taken over my life.
My son gets married in two weeks, and as I’m ‘an artist’ I’ve been asked to design and make the chair decorations. What the ….? In all of my artistic career, I have never made anything decorative, and to be honest, I don’t know where to start.
I’ll hasten to add that my son didn’t ask me, he knows better, but as I’ve been asked I will have to do it.
So even though I’ve shown my work on many occasions and never felt particularly fearful of doing so, why am I so stressed about this? Why don’t I even know where to start?
For anyone who saw my frantic Facebook post today and thought I was asking for an item for some exciting new project … well no. I’m making bows and tying them to chairs. That’s the extent of my design skills. Rose Gold. Yep, I thought I knew about colour, but apparently not. This is a whole new ball game.
So, yes, although a million things have happened since I last wrote on here, I can’t bring myself to talk about them just yet. My brain won’t function. I’m stressed. I don’t know what to do, I feel that my work will be judged and I feel a failure .
