I'm starting to come out of my 7 year hiatus from crafting. Back then I used to draw, make plushies and messenger bags, sculpt, and I had big dreams of doing comic book art. But depression hit me hard. I stopped all of it. Then I started taking invega trinza. I finally feel stable. Except...my creativity was gone. I don't know if it's the meds but it sure seems likely.
But right now I'm researching thermodynamic plastic for creating cosplay armor and weapons. Name brand worbla is over 25 bucks for one 12x8 sheet. So it's not feasible to pursue this idea.
I'm getting a 10lb block of air dry terra cotta clay this week. I'm very excited to be sculpting again. I'm gonna have so much fun!
I'm considering going through my totes for fabric for plushies. I love hand sewing. It's meditative for me, all of my focus is on sewing. And once I start, I'm gonna be working for at least 5 hours. Back in my highest moment of sewing, I was able to complete at least 2 plushies and at least half of a messenger bag. I'd like to start that again. It was very centering, I was in my element.
I'm gonna buy some comic bristol board. I've got ideas for comics. I'd been toying around with a really deep story line years ago but I still remember the entire story. Basically "what happens to forgotten deities?"
I'm planning to get back into writing poetry. It's so cathartic. Not only do I enjoy writing poetry, I love reading it at open mic night events at bars and coffee shops. I put a call out to local kinky weirdos who enjoy poetry and spoken word.
So I guess you could say I'm feeling artsy.
