Completion

What do I wish to complete? The big question for this week's Wishcasting. And, let's face it, this could be a big list...

If you've ever done those personality questionnaires, there's one where a category listed is 'completer/finisher'. That's not me. Oh no, no, no, no. I'm always leaping onto the next project, bursting with new ideas. That's not saying I don't do things when I have to - it's more that it's not my natural leaning and while I'm 'on the ball' I'm a real perfectionist, going the extra mile and adding unique and special touches. It's just that filing and post-project evaluation just doesn't float my boat when there's something new and exciting to plan and perform - the temptation of a creative brainstorm drags me away from tidying up loose ends. Thinking about it, I probably do it emotionally as well. Last week I talked about burying all those difficult feelings you don't want to think about under the floorboards. I guess that displays very much the same trait. The let's just leave that 'evaluation' to one side and move on with life... And so, as we've learned, life's little difficulties don't just go away. They wait patiently to be dealt with...

Well, enough rambling. What do I want to complete?

Let's go for something realistic, a task that just requires some gentle pushing in the right direction, a few words of encouragement and a dash of application. I want to complete the opening of my Etsy shop!

Wow, I said it... openly admitted my desire and, most importantly, believing those who tell me my work is good enough (something I'm not very good at!). So, I plan on completing a few more items that may (possibly) be worthy of sale, planning an grand opening party and inviting you all to join me for a virtual glass of bubbly and a fancy canape. I've already rented the space. Presently all white walls, lots of natural light and a few pot plants so, shall we set a target date of November some time? How nice it would be to sell a few artworks and other creations... dream....

Pop along to Jamie Ridler's wishing well to join in the fun with the rest of the wishcasting gang - and, better still, join in too.

Picture above is the first artwork I sold!! I was well chuffed. A friend bought it, but still, they were willing to pay good money for it. Mixed media on canvas - collage & acrylics. Raspberry Ripple.
