The other night my husband and I were discussing the creative process of completing something....anything basically. We differ in that I enjoy the process of creating something much more than the completed project whereas he enjoys the completed project more than the process. I think the journey is far more important than the destination. I guess that's why I consider myself a "workhorse", I'm not the fast race horse, I'm not the glossy show horse, I'm the workhorse, the horse that is dependable and gets the job done and keeps plugging away until the project or task is completed.
Here is my question to all of my artist friends out there.....which do you prefer........the process or the completed project?
Here is a peek into my incredibly messy studio table and my creative process..........
This is "Toodee", she keeps a watch over my studio......often times messing up my table and eating my glitter. I love her though because my dear friend in California, Jacque sent her to me.
Believe it or not I know pretty much where everything is. I like to have most things that I use a lot at my fingertips.
Sometimes my process is back-asward.........I made the head from paper clay, painted it and then thought hmmmmmmmm, perhaps I should now consider a body!
