the creativity of references

[doris]

hi, i just added some free thoughts on our blog "the creativity of references", where i talk about "carving from the mind" versus "carving with references" and what this has to do with creativity, and with learning from each carving... might not be for everyone, but maybe it is interesting for some...

Doris - I can relate to your thoughts on "the creativity of references" and learning from each carving. You (and Mark) are professionals, and perhaps are required to carve to the expectations of clients, but you clearly have examined the process you are going through. It shows in the variety of your work.

ah phil, so i am perceived as professional... oh yes i want earn money with my carvings, but so far i have not had a single client, somehow they always say no thanks when we come close to the point that i have to say i won´t do it for nothing ...sigh...but nevertheless, what i said in the blog, i believe holds for everyone who wants learn to carve, and carve so that it turns out like wished...

Excellent topic Doris, I left a comment on your site in reply.

You are quickly becomming a professional Doris. Your work has steadily improved with your practice and I have no doubt that you will be selling pieces soon. Patience my dear, Rome wasn't built in a day.
