feed the gorilla

feeding the gorilla
art in  >>>  art out
principle: feed the gorilla and he will bless you

visualize a wise silverback gorilla sitting in the backyard of my old house at 10 s maple ave east orange nj
he is hungry
give him beauty, give him art, make him laugh and cry
read books especially art books
go to museums, quilt shows, poetry readings, book parties, open studios
try something you havent done before
go to a concert
dance, write, pray
and he will bless you with beautiful and smart ideas
solutions to craft dilemmas and life dilemmas will come crowding in
listen to the back of your brain
choose the loudest ideas among the many
art children waiting to be born
take a walk in the middle of crafting days and dont forget to eat lunch
protect your copyright and respect other's work
tell artists you love their work
( we all get scared in the dark that we are not good enough)
artists need fans and affirmations
collaburate with other artists and craftspeople to make good pieces
share your energy with groups of others in your field
volunteer
teach another for free
teach a group
get a protegee and be your best self for them
publish, share, and keep working
finish your projects,edit out the boring
dont stop ever even if you are hurt
sometimes that is the best work
love sara
