papercutting today, nothing else. soothing, repetitive, decisive, therapeutic, measurable papercutting. at last count i was at 850 rectangles and i'm still going. half is going to my daughter's school, and half is for my show preparation. i traded creativity for productivity today, but it was just what i needed to do.
(+ a beautiful story about susie's sensitive son and his papercutting therapy.)

i've always loved paper cutters....and hole punches. ah, soothing repetition.
mmmmmm....production.... my favorite. i can zone out, catch up on what i've missed on the tube, drink a few glasses of wine, but still be making stuff.
(i really must get a social life again. and online doesn't count.)
Some things just need to get done, it's a pretty photo.

You must say this every time you chop:
"OFF with her head" thonk
"OFF with her head" thonk
"OFF with her head" thonk
Thank God for days of productivity.
productivity is a sweet kind of meditation!
Thanks for the link to Inner Toddler, her story made some of my fences fade.
:) Some days are just like that. And you know, the productivity days sometimes give my brain a rest to dream up something great for the next creativity day. And when I get there, I have lots of supplies to work with because I did what I did on productivity day! Art on!
Good trade. That's what I need to do today too!
My word verification is 'tedish'...is that another form of 'tedious'?!?
you gotta love those days when you can go a little scissor crazy and hug your paper cutter! it sounds like you'll have over a thousand rectangles before you know it!! good luck with the show prep......! xox, :))
Good papers... and colors...
Best wishes from Buenos Aires...
