I'm telling you as a sort of accountability, cause this takes a bit of deep breathing. But I' understand challenge. I have experience facing down fear. You may remember my post about Stretching and freedom. Big news, I've regained almost 90% of my range of motion! Today I swam a mile. A slow, sweet, sometime painful, but oh-so-triumphant mile. Oh, how I love freedom!!
I look at this next phase of work as a course in stretching my mind, my imagination, and definitely my tech skills as an artist. The course takes six weeks -- a sneeze compared to the months of physical therapy to unfreeze my left shoulder. This means you won't see the results right away. It also means that once the course begins, I may not post as often as usual (whatever that is). BUT, I think the new site will be SO worth it. I also suspect that posting more often will be part of the new normal once I get the site up.
I'd still love to hear from you. In fact, I really need to hear from you so that your voice helps me shape my new site set-up. Beyond showcasing my work, like this lively little chair:

Hi, Rebecca,
I read your blog and your facebook page, so my comments are going to be a conglomerate of my experience both places. I really like the photos you post - it's an inspiring experience to see the before photos, watch the creative process, and then the stunning finished pieces. I like reading the reactions of the people who end up owning the pieces, too.
I would enjoy seeing how you 'try out' a design on a piece - do you hold a map up to it and see how it looks to you? Do you imagine it in different colors before you actually paint one on? Do color schemes come to you one color at a time, or in a big collage experience?
Not being a painter, I am unfamiliar with your tools and the process, so I find the details interesting. I like seeing a little 'how-to' as an illustration of all the work that goes into the wonderful transformation of your works.
Just my two cents. Thank you for sharing your art with the world!
Tracy
great questions, tracy.
i'm so glad you asked. this gives me ideas for posts on the upcoming site -- and depending on homework for the project, maybe a last post or two on this sweet old blog.
it's easy to overlook what comes so naturally for me, and to just assume everyone knows how this goes. such an important point. this is why i need input!
your suggestions are worth a lot more than two cents :D thank you so much <3
