Fiber Arts/Mixed Media

Be Creative!

Griselda Tello

Having a "real job" vs Creativity...organization and blogs.

I have lost count of all the blogs I have...mostly because I have little time to update, but I keep getting "hooked" into joining one more group or blog. Why...who cares...! The opportunity to meet others, to create and to play a little makes me relax from a long day at the office. I am in Real Estate, this is my second year, and I have to say, after a lifetime of being "only an artist and a mom" I can tell the world "I am a Realtor" Ha!

Well...the truth is, I am who I am, here and at the office, and I wear my artistic hat out there too. I keep on saying I am going to post a photo of my office and keep on forgetting...may be in here, I will this time.

The way things have been going, you would say, why Real Estate...again...why not?
At least this way I know what is going on first hand and get to help some folks, it has been interesting out there, trying to make sense out of this mess, in hopes that it levels up...
But enough about office work...

I am here to share with you my little art dolls and my passion for fiber arts/mixed media, altered art/recycled treasures...art is the great healer in every situation, and I think most of you will agree with me that this is a blessing, creativity is always at our door, you just have to open the door and say...Yes...lets go...but watch out...you will find yourself at the Thriftstore,...laughs* I often do...it is my "artist date" like Julia Cameron would say...it is essential...and very rewarding as well.

So...how many blogs are too many...?
I guess I would never know...
Please, share with me your experience of being here, I see so much beauty, I wish I had more time, for now, I am on a quest to organize myself, and welcome any ideas, because I don't want to get rid of anything...unless it is for a swap...then I am game...let me know what you need, I might have it!

I have polymer cabs to trade...I am always making more than I can use.

Bright Blessings everyone, I am glad to be here.
Griselda

Hey beautiful...glad to see you here. Let me tell you, selling houses used to be like a beauty contest, now days, you would be happy if the grass and trees are not dead, it is a sad story. But everything we see shall pass and we will go back to a more balanced way of living, this is my prayer. I am looking forward to see how you set up this page, and don't be shy about inserting some of the other pages you have in another blog, people don't travel to other blogs all the time and that article you wrote about organization is a jewel...I would love to see it available to people in here. Thanks for your kind words. Dragonflies are my main totem animal...I love the little creatures. Hugs.
