PAZZA PAZZA
WELCOME! BRUCHIM HABAIM! ברוכים הבאים
My name is Yael, I live in Israel, and I am pleased to meet you!
This blog is about art and craft, and about sewing. There will be stories from traveling. I will tell a little bit about myself, and about my family. I will mention my wonderful friends. I shall introduce our beloved four legged companions. And I would like to talk about nature. And about sun and rain and flowers and trees, and the sea and the desert - about the beauty, the history, the ancient places and the views of the Land of Israel, and about its people.
If you want to know a little bit more about me, go down to the February 2010 posts.

Yael, I didn't want to be swayed by the comments, so I will comment first and read later...and what I think and felt is: how am I going to pay the rent??? What about getting the thread I need...what about being happy? How can I be happy not doing something I love? Will I be reduced to cleaning other people's homes? And what if that person decides to give what I made to Good Will? Will it end up in a landfill? Will it bring one second of joy? Did I fall in love with a creation that only I could love? How can I continue doing something when it's not lucrative? Am I a parasite? What could be more fullfilling? Am I stupid? Am I accidently copying everyone? Am I original? I won't be able to pay the rent with it. I'll have to go rummaging through what some folks would call 'landfill' to make my things. I'll make my ugly 'children', and I will love them. And with luck, someone else will, too...
:-D
Qh Dawn - I think many can relate to this.
-------------------------------
Are there other opinions?
Yes, Yael, I also have the 'flip side of the coin' opinion. It's this--no one has to like what I do. What I do is after all, just my thing--like what others call A, B, or C their thing. Society has no obligation to support me or like me or even acknowledge me as an artist. In fact, that's okay with me. I'd do it anyway. Variety is the spice of life, and I appreciate individuals who are extremely different to myself. Thank goodness there are the differences! Also, if you saw me walking down the street, you might think--there goes the English teacher, there goes a middle-aged woman. If I really wanted to make a living from my art--well, I'd make it a business instead. Just because something is handmade doesn't mean I want to purchase it. Taste is involved. You know, I don't even believe in 'genious' or 'mastermind'. I think these are antiquated notions. It still doesn't mean I don't have doubts or struggles, but like you said, many can relate to those--even dentists, lawyers, and dishwashers.
The artists that I am aware of are ones whose work I love. Their work permits a peek at their soul.
I was astounded at the comments on Facebook. How sad.
An artist doesn't do it for money, it's done for pleasure.
Right on, Bob!!! XXOO
I LOVE creating so I work hard to be able to keep doing so. But yes, it creates lots of nights of worrying about how the rent will be paid etc. I went through this for more than a year recently. I just got a part time job that gives me a steady income and has let me sleep soundly again at night. Creating full time was wonderful but lacking sleep was not. I have found a balance now. :)
I did not read the comments on facebook. Will do so now.
i cashed/cached in my cookies and tried to leave you a message and ended up leaving it on my blog...much love there for you...go see! o me! story of my life, getting confused, heh heh xoxo
interesting to read the comments on FB ... very different meanings.
To me ... what is art and what is
an artist ? The definition is just made by the ones that buy the 'art'.
