The Art Muse

[katheye]

The Art Muse is becoming agitated, flitting like a firefly behind my breast. How much longer can she reasonably be expected to contain the inspirations of the past 6 months, the Alex Grey workshop, the weekend of Chicago music and graffitti, the art saturated days in Paris? Disgruntled, but obedient, she’s waited for me to manage the more mundane

I got the creative bug last week. It took the form of candy cane raindeer. I had so much fun creating these little guys (and will likely make more soon). It was amazing and wonderful to allow myself to fall deeper and deeper into this creative process; understanding that I was partaking in the act of creation. I even wondered about my creation. Whether the raindeer (or as I call them, raindeer mans) I created received consciousness through my creative work, and if so, what they were thinking as their little eyes faced the ceiling and dried to their new candy cane bodies. Whether this consciousness came with the eyes, or the nose, or the smile on my face when I gave them "life."

It was even greater to see them in their element - amongst my friends and doing their work, that of spreading joy. They traveled about Friday night in cleavage, pockets, and even snuggled up in Brian's bed (yes, a candy cane raindeer mans can indeed snuggle up in a bed - I have a photo). People tried to turn them away, saying they wouldn't eat them. My response was that they are here to make you happy, however that may be.

This whole process made me think of you and it makes me so happy that I have felt free to cater to my creative side more and more since you've become a part of my life. For that I can only say, thank you for existing.

Back at ya! I'm glad you exist too and I'll hopefully be seeing you at Mike and Kat's Saturday night. I have photos for everyone! :D
