Organizing October is almost over, and I feel much better since the "purge". I was starting to question the wisdom of making assemblage art, with the huge selection of spare parts we artists insist on having around. It's always a conflict, because I'm a minimalist at heart, or I just want to be.
Sometimes it seems like organizing is its very own art form. In any case it's satisfying. Is that the Virgo in me?
I'm toying with the idea of signing up for NaNoWriMo. Have any of you done it before? You have to write a 50,000 word novel start to finish in the month of November. That would be great, but I have gotten about 20,000 words into my first novel --!!!--started in late summer and I'm afraid of diverting my word flow, haha. Sort of like how I decided not to worry about learning Spanish when I was in Costa Rica a long time ago because I hadn't yet acquired a solid base in French, which I was actively speaking at the time (still am). But it sure would come in handy to be fluent in Spanish, although now I'd prefer Italian and the Spanish would make that a cinch. All I'm trying to say is that there aren't enough hours in the day! So do I go for NNWM?
The photos are from our trip to Chicago in September. My first time there and I was astonished at the design and architectural beauty--love, love, love.
nice photos! and i've done nano, 2 times but it was the 2nd time i finished...and i didnt write a novel i used it for a memoir platform.
ReplyDeleteso you done with assemblage art????
Hey Paula! No, I won't stop making assemblage (or collage). I needed to step back for a little to see what direction this is taking. I have 3 wall assemblages in the works :)
