I'm interested in sewing, doodling, printing, scrapbooking, photography... Even when I was setting up my etsy shop, I was wondering if I should have a focus-- just paper goods or just needlecraft. But in the end, i thought, why not both? Why deprive myself of what I love? Of course some of my creative pursuits were short-lived but I got out of them having a clearer picture of what I really like. They help narrow the focus in a way. I have the exact same “problem”!

Until I read this: Am I confused or creative? I think the answer is creative...and it's that creative bent that causes me to try new things, wander into new techniques and have a host of differnt artistic interests. (I got that from a great book on page 115 - Holy Moly Mackeroly, by Gloria Page) I too am a jack of all trades- master of none…and it used to bother me for the exact reasons.

I feel the same way :) I just love to create and do so many different things! But isn't great to always want to be learning and doing new things? I think this is a dilemma that we all artists go through. Have a great weekend! OMG! I feel the same way :) I just love to create and do so many different things!
