If truth be told, that was the 1st piece that I've ever made in my entire life where I thru caution to the wind. Of course it was also after some Valium & painkillers, but still. <BR/>I think it's more perfectionism & people pleasing than fear. (True: yes, fear of failure, but only because we're worrying about how others will see it.) You (being like me) are all too often concerned with what others will think. My biggest fear is having you there in the audience to hear one of my "talks". I worry so much about you feeling like I embarrass you & souding like a total dork.<BR/>Case in point: When you & Irene weren't at the Guild the other day I actually called the numbers out at the meeting & had a blast (did my impression of Bob Barker, lol).

Unfortunately, I thought Florence had already left, but she told I. at Tim's what a great actor I was; who knew?bettyboopta2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06349583953100628954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-1160931221830864292006-10-15T12:53:00.000-04:002006-10-15T12:53:00.000-04:00My mouth waters at the thought of those courses in...My mouth waters at the thought of those courses in UK. In meantime, however, and less costly, have you ever visited the textile museum in Toronto www.textilemuseum.ca. <BR/><BR/>they have all sorts of weird and wonderful lectures, courses and galleries. Sometimes we need to see what other artists are doing to realize we too can make a statement. Take those negative thoughts out of your head and put them in a drawer and then padlock it.
