Wow! This may be cool or weird. There's even a Ravelry group for it. I'll have to check it out to see if it's worth following. See what it's all about here .

I have always been independent and never needed to be defined by others. For the past few years that has changed drastically and has affected the way I look at my work. I can't seem to create something that makes me 1,000% happy. Artist block? Maybe. Negative impact? Definitely. Lately I've been evaluating my art work and handstyle and took into consideration what others have said to me. This has been brought on by thoughts of how I can improve and build on what I love. I appreciate insight because it helps me to see things from a different perspective. Although that is the case, I find myself staring at my work and thinking, "why can't I see what others see is 'wrong' with this?" After talking to my motivator and my friend, I realized that I don't need the approval of others. My work is exactly that, MINE . It should not be the interpretation of someone else's ideas or look like someone else's writing. Obviously it will no longer be my work if...

The stickers I have received so far are nothing short of AMAZING. UA2 sent me awesome labels that I added to my sticker blkbook. I have to save the best for a collage. Some of them are too good to put up. I can't wait to create a gallery of all the great work of other artist. My latest project is working with "aluminum" tote bags that I found at Garden Ridge . The one in the pic is for Ms. Minx , who is a talented artist. Deco paint markers seem...

I received these stickers and an NYC subway map from TAZZ. He is a great artist and I'm honoured to have work by him. I believe the young lady on the sticker and map is me =) She has on an earring that says R. Nice! You can see more of his work in Going Postal . Thanks Tazz. YOU ROCK!!
