Progress of Procrastination

I sometimes take breaks from art projects. When I feel like giving up or letting an idea go, I take a break and do something else till I find inspiration again to go one or finish the project. It may be a month or just a day, whatever it takes to be inspired again. I sometimes work on three to four projects at a time, it depends on how difficult they are. We'll I guess it's true I started this article over a month ago and I'm just now writing more of it. I recently started reworking a wearable sculpture that I have been making and waiting for a long time to finish. I call the piece "The Fashion World's a War". It's a dress made entirely out of repurposed chicken-wire, artist canvas, blood, sweat, and a few of my own personal tears! It's a labor of love, but it's a work in progress. I am currently working on layering canvas onto the chicken-wire form. I plan on being finished by April and I might even display it at my debut at a local Mississippi artist craft and music festival known as the Juke Joint Festival, held each April in Clarksdale, Mississippi. We'll have to wait and see where it goes, but I'm staying positive!
