OMG!! The great intelligence!!! Clara Oswald!!!! Dr Who was epic tonight!
I personally think Clara is a ghost who is not at peace yet & is traveling through time trying to find it... That's just my opinion. Or, she is wi fi way station the great intelligence has been using to lure the Doctor.... Or maybe she is a ganger!!!!!
I'm really into this can't you tell?

Setting up a new Art Studio
I've had to move out of my studio because they raised the rent & did not give me 30 days notice- which is the law by the way. So I did not feel comfortable there anymore, not to mention rent has gone up 3X in the past year & a half!
I am now going to be working out of my home & therefore setting up a studio area.
I'm so excited to begin! Just as soon as my arms recover from moving everything out of my old studio. Ill post pictures as it takes shape!

Stress & art, and dealing with life
Life can bring about a lot of stress that leads to you stressing about your life.
"My room isn't clean enough"
"I don't get to my studio enough"
"If I go to my studio my lil chihuahua is going to feel lonely"
"Oh God, am I becoming a hoarder?"
The way to solve this perpetual cycle of stressing then stressing more then freaking out is to:
Stop what you are doing
Realize you are good the way you are
You can never be perfect
Work on the things you want to do one step, or one inch at a time.
This is what I have been dealing with as an artist, who is in school, working, has the best little furry friend ever, and amazing friends & a loving boyfriend. Balancing life can be hard sometimes, for everyone. I've found doing the things mentioned previously really help me calm down.
I make lists too, and I write down things I like about myself. Doing this is like giving your mind a chill pill without the chill pills. It really helps.
And, if all else fails- it's OKAY to freak out, to feel upset. That can be just as relaxing when you have let it out.
As long as you are not hurting others, keep on doing what you are doing!!
How do other artists balance their need to create with their need to live their lives as well? Have any tips/ideas?

Pampering Things
So, basically I love to pamper myself & I love excess. Hence my fascination with the Victorian Era, & the absolute fantasy world created by classic rockers. The opulence of The Beatles psychedelic era, the overt over the top sexuality of Aerosmith, and the faerie witch style of Stevie Nicks.
So, in keeping with my fascinations, I dress up each day the best I can and I do things that make me feel as if I could be Dolly Parton sittin on top of a cupcake with baby kittens. Yes. That was just said.
I fix my false eyelashes each day, put on red lipstain before bed and I am a believer in lipstick and Chanel No5.
Maybe this post sounds frivolous, I mean, my blog is about my art & life as an artist- but I think that as a woman, however you choose to, pampering yourself gives you so much confidence. I choose a rather traditional route for the most part, but I also LOVE collecting vinyl records & playing my guitar. Vinyl records are so special in my opinion, they have such a rich sound that CDs cannot replicate. As for my guitars- they literally make me so happy I could explode.
I believe that indulging yourself in things that make you happy each day keep you sane, personally they help with panic attacks, for others I know they just help remind the person that no matter what the day had brought into their life, there is always something nice & comforting to look forward to.
Maybe I sound like a feminist a bit, but that's okay by me. Make up should make you happy, it should not be a mask. Your hobbies should let you express yourself, not what society thinks a woman should be fascinated with. I've always had these strong views, and often wanted to turn them into art but I'm still letting the idea stew in my head until its good & ready.
So, the moral is, pampering I believe helps you be yourself & let's you figure out how to fly your own freak flag.
FYI: freak flags are the best.
Ps: making weird faces is also one of my hobbies.
