    Creativity Blues, I find myself in this hole on occasion. I am not
    in the position to sell just the art pieces I make so I have been
    developing a production line which bends the creativity in a
    different way. Also the business keeps me creative, business is
    fascinating and an area where all the creativity I can muster is
    challenged. Technique is another area I explore to get back into the
    game, try a new technique and see where it takes you. Beautiful
    stones are another spur in my side to be inspired. I feel I have so
    many areas to attack, I have never had a lack of opportunity, just
    the the means to take advantage of them comes and goes. Giving to
    the advancement of the craft is another good area, teaching,
    volunteering for Orchid, or just posting is another inspiration. Get
    outside yourself, shitcan all your assumptions, laugh at yourself,
    give it a go.
