Here's the framework I am going to use to cut through the noise:
The Itch Test
Closing my eyes I will envision each project and notice the volume of itch my fingers feel. The body knows before the brain does.
The Energy Match
I will evaluate my energy level and match the project to my current creative energy. Right now, my energy level is low cause by a combination of life events. It is wise not start a complicated project at this time. Soon, this too will change.
The Deadline Reality
I will assess each project based on a completion deadline. The holiday runner may have a deadline, but then again, I know it does not. Time sensitive projects will earn priority—or get abandoned with intention.
The "What If I Don't?" Question
I will ask myself, “Will I grieve if I never get to that project" and give some materials permission to leave the studio. Others will be allowed to continue to scream for transformation.
The winner will emerge—not because it's perfect, but because it's right for me right now.
Something deserves my hands next. When I walk into the studio my collective senses make the call.
For now, I am content in knowing that the basket I started on our road trip (that was supposed to take a couple of hours to complete) is now done. Belted beauty is made from Martin Digman Italian woven rayon elastic cording which was most difficult to weave because the fibers did not want to stay in place and the ends were very susceptible to unraveling.
