In Art Limbo

I am ready to move on from the Frederick series. I want to build up my Junes series but I’m at a place that is very familiar to artists, art limbo. That is when you finish a piece and it takes you awhile to get started on the next one and when it is a whole new series, it is even harder. There are artists that have a lot of work half done and maybe it is easier for them to move from one to the other but I don’t work that way. I start something and have to finish it but then I get stuck in art limbo. That’s where I am right now. I have a lot of ideas in my head but can’t seem to get started in any. It’s like art paralysis. I know I’ll get going on something soon.

Another thing that has me undecided is that I have the opportunity to get a real handmade bed quilt for myself. Another quilter is going to make it for me. I just don’t have the space/energy/tools to work on big pieces and I have never made a bed-size quilt. In my other life, I am a web designer. When it is time to make a website for yourself, you get stuck. You don’t have the limits a client gives you. The opprtunities are endless so you can’t make a decision. The same thing is happening with this bed quilt. I can’t decide on what I want for my own bed.
