The Ball is Rolling...

I've been experiencing a bit of a dry spell in the creativity/productivity department of late. I've been sitting down to my table in the studio only to piddle for hours and not accomplish a thing. I've been wondering if I'm bored with what I'm doing or if it's just plain creative block. It's true I would love to start experimenting with some new types of art. If I can swing it financially (meaning if I make some money on the show this month) I want to take a collagraphy class that's offered at a nearby studio in July. I'd also love to learn how to do encaustics (painting with wax) if I can fit a class in later this year.
Well, despite all that, while working yesterday I think I laid the groundwork for the burst of creativity I had today. It's been slow going...my hand is not as deft with the knife as it was a few weeks ago...but I think the ball is rolling again. Good thing, too. I have shows booked non-stop through November of this year.
Gotta keep making the art...

Okay, weird question... What's collagraphy? Is it calligraphy? Or is it something entirely different? I know about encaustics. (something about having a sister who was an art major for 3 years)
