Waiting.........................to start something new


Hi friends,
These little spoon girls are waiting for dresses, hair anything really. Anything to just get off the shelf and begin a new life elsewhere.........................

It is amazing how one can be desperate to start a new life or at least make a big change somewhere else or something new to pursue. To do something out of the ordinary away from the known, to something more exciting.
I was thinking about this today as I was drinking yet another cup of tea whilst I was working in the studio today. I was reminded of some words I read recently and naturally I have completely forgotten them exactly, but let's pretend this was them: "Do that which makes you scared".

Ralph Waldo Emerson also said something similar:
"Always do what you are afraid to do."

SO this is my challenge over the next month -
I am going to try and jump off the deep end, leave safe waters and really do something new.

Cheers
Elizabeth

  3. Bravo!
    One of the things I always tell me students is the answer is always "YES!" ...."yes, that worked", or "yes, I've learned something because that didn't work". Either way, the answer is YES!
    Wish i could have a cup of tea, or two with you Elizabeth. I think it would be great fun!
    I'll be anxious to see what you come up with!
