Collage at the Fine Line

I am a very bad blogger. When I had my old moblog I used to post fairly frequently. Have I been blogged out, I hope not. It is not up anymore, but when I would go through those old posts on the moblog I always felt I had good things to write about, not just a log of what I have done. Which seems to be what this blog is mainly about, blah.

This last weekend I nervously attended my first Collage Sisthars meeting at the Fine Line. For a shy person like myself that means I felt like the new girl at school. The session was to teach us about using resin, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I had even bought materials such as resin, mold makers and a book previously, but just never used them. Everyone seemed pretty friendly and wanting to learn and create, and I felt like I was surrounded by common ilk. I made a couple things at the meeting, unfortunately transferring them home before they were set goofed them up. But now I feel confident to make more things on my own time. Another lesson I recalled at the meeting is that it is very difficult for me to be productive in a classroom setting. I am usually too distracted by those around me and too shy to work on stuff in front of others. It’s like a right brain, left brain thing. I was just so excited to have learned this stuff but all I wanted to do was rush home and work on stuff there, rather than at the meeting. They have meetings once a month so hopefully I’ll be able to come back and bring a friend or two with me.
