My question is, how do you just get started. I don't mean the mechanics, I mean how do you just do it? My husband and I bought a home three years ago and I have done very little creatively since then b/c I don't have the space. I know that may sound like a huge copout, and I suppose it is...but nevertheless it stops me in my tracks. Where do you "do" your work? I love your work.

It used to be so easy. We've met! I was in that altered book group with you and Rae and the others! I moved to Florida two years ago and have been having a hard time finding my inspiration again!! Art is coming back into my life again, slowly, painfully, not fast enough and not with the same intensity. I want it back again! I want to be inspired every day by everything around me...the way it was in California! It helps to look at art on the web and connect, even virtually with other artists. I love your blogs. I loved the one about your cat. It reminded me of the deep feelings I had when I lost my sweetheart of 17 years. I have never said, it's just a cat!! It never was! Good to connect with you again, Karen. What inspires me? It used to be so easy. We’ve met! I was in that altered book group with you and Rae and the others!
