Sixth

I thought I’d try something different this time, something less complicated and intricate, something more…wearable and pleasing to the eye. Or perhaps that was just how it turned out to be. I rarely start something with a clear representation of what the final art piece should look like. I just start adding details and embelishing and see where the road takes me.

Come to think about it, this is pretty much the way I’ve been living my life lately. Less planning, more improvisation. Letting go of control and allowing my inner Kramer to come out of the depths and make the best of every moment. Need I explain how liberating this has been to me and how happy my soul has been?

I don’t know how things will turn out for me or if I’m ever going to snap out of this bohemian state of mind, but if this is how artists live, fearless, nonchalant and free, then, by all means, this is how I want to spend the rest of my life.

Now, you’re probably wondering what it is that inspires me. The answer is simple: could be anything. I see a dress, hear a song, take a glance at my new but temporary feathered roommate, remember someone, plan a summer vacation, miss the salty smell of the sea, then turn whatever it is into art.

In this case, I was rewatching the last episodes of House M.D. but my subconscious must have been craving for a vacation at the beach, somewhere. That could explain the shells, the turquoise and the coral shaped beads. My romantic nature might explain the rose detail and House’s twisted character might explain those dramatic asymmetries – or perhaps that’s also me.

Amazing what a pair of hands and a little bit of imagination can do, right?
