I love deadlines. I was always good with them. they keep me organized and focused. I have until Sept 20th to finish the guitar piece. I have been making progress with it too. Each night i do a little more and am falling in love with the piece. I don't know if i will be able to part from it once it's done! It's so much fun and I am really happy creating this. I love love love it! I forgot how much fun it is. I feel like it's college again and i have to make sure it's ready for critic. I remember going in on weekends and feeling proud of myself then too.
I think it's also cause i am home alone. I am making a mess and not having to clean up after myself. I don't have to worry about anyone bitching about the possibility of making a mess. So i am. hehehe. I love it. It makes me miss my old studio where i could make a mess. This is what it's like having to work out of the apartment. having to be considerate of the others that live there. Ever since college.....it's been that way. I need to make a mess and not worry and not have someone tell me that i need to clean up. Must be that rebellious teenager thing in me that never left where your mom told you to clean up your room. i need me a barn or big ol' space to make a mess. No artist i know lives where they create, except painters. Sculptors, hells no. We need SPACE!
Now i know you may be saying to yourself, you could make deadlines for yourself to finish projects, but come on....... seriously. You totally know that breaking your own deadline doesn't bother you as much as some stranger that is depending on you. That is where you kick it into high gear and work your ass off. You may also say, make a compromise about space. I have a studio in my place. It's small and will work. And to find studio space outside of the house is almost impossible without paying crazy rent. I am just enjoying the freedom for the couple of days. I know i have to clean up.......(it'll be clean by the time you get home). I just am having fun. I like it. It is making me happy, and that is what i am needing most.

Funny how I was just writing about our wonderful messy studio. I cleaned up the spectacular mess we'd made this weekend...but that was ok, because the cleaning was on my terms. I can't wait until you come over. We should make stuff!
