This is the first day I have had at home alone for about 8 weeks and I had big plans to get stuck in and print the lino blocks waiting to be editioned, then wham it hits I feel tired , restless I cant decide if I want to do anything or nothing, I at least got one edition done I think this has happened cos I had to change ruby into another room and she isn't adjusting too well and this means she isn't sleeping well again I haven't had any sleep for 3 nights and not I have the house to myself all I want to do is sleep, but I don't want to sleep aaaaaaagh I really want to get some more drawings done for more prints but the thought of sitting and drawing just make me feel anxious, Like I said, I hate depression!!!!
Boy, do I hear you! It can be so frustrating, that wanting and not wanting, able and inable. Argh!
ReplyDeleteBut that aside - your prints are absolutely lovely. While I love the owl (because I love owls!), I think the rather tattered looking bumble bee is such a fantastic element of recording natural history just so.
Thanks for following my blog so that I could find you!!
Thanks for Stopping by "My Nifty Needle" Ruby, and I agree with Amie about the bee. You have an amazing talent. I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteOh, and about depression....I am bi-polar, have fibromyalgia, and deteriorating disk disease, (which I got at 27) I had to have double foot surgery last year and spent the whole summer in double casts up to my knees! Now I can't walk for more than 15 minutes and have to use a wheelchair to go out.
But all that being said, I think many people who have emotional struggle are also among the most creative. (look at Van Gogh!)
So hang in there and just keep going, your work is beautiful!
