Ten Things: Two

Although I haven't done it in many years, I love to make pysanky -- Ukranian Easter eggs.  That is one of the reasons I am trying to clean out and sort my world.  I want to go back to this absorbing and challenging craft, and try some new adventures(such as hand-dyeing wool, yarn and fabric) in a more organized, well-defined space.  I think that, as a crafter and artist, I am at my best when I allow myself access to many different media, but concentrate on just one or two at a time, flowing from project to project as my mood dictates.

  2. I think you are the only reason I have any idea what pysanky are! Your plan sounds perfect - if you constrain yourself in your creative endeavors you might suck all of the enjoyment and productivity from them...I don't like to use the cliche, but "go with the flow" does have its merits.
