Creating through Change

Our lives never stay the same, but we can find ourselves trapped in the bottom of a barrel from time to time. I hate that hopeless feeling.
Art, and creating new things is one thing that really helps me at times like this. I'm a photographer and Collage artist. But I sunk so low, I couldn't even find inspiration to create something new. I had no desire to take pictures of anything. But I continued to create my collage cards, and send them out to others that might appreciate receiving something that was handmade. In return, I received an awful lot of encouragment about my art. It was something I really needed.....encouragment.
I'm feeling much better now, and I decided it might be time to enter the Blog World. I have been buying Artful Blogging magazine and I have been truely inspired by all of the wonderful artists I have found in it. I see that there is a place for everyone, even me.
So this is a new beginning for me. I have a lot to learn about blogging, but I'll learn. I want to be a part of this huge Art Community online.
I hope ya'll will receive me. I'm looking forward to it.
