So one of the hard things about my creating pieces is my process. For years when I create things, I go through what my husband calls a manic phase. In many ways it is... what is more is it often is pleasure and pain! I get so excited about the planning that it sparks so many ideas in my mind that sleep eludes me. It hurts because sleep eludes me. Last night I started my manic phase and at 4 O'clock in the morning I. Made the fatal mistake of going into my studio.. before a half hour was gone, I found myself with at least 20 new ideas... to make it short, I went to sleep at about 6:00 this morning. I woke at 9:30 when the dogs needed out and I have been up since then. With all those ideas in mind, I have narrowed down my next 4 projects. Here are a few pictures of the start of my next projects. In short, there will be two wall sconces and two altered books. Here is a pic of the wall sconces.

They are at the very initial creative state so tomorrow I will start listening to what they tell me and I promise the end results will be something beautiful and totally unique. All this after I get caught up with some sleep. Will talk with everyone tomorrow.
