Pacific Northwestern things//how I cured my artist slump

I had a break from creating this week, as I was fully occupied with doing adventure-y type things in Washington state. A lovely state indeed.

We did many things like frolic in the tall tree'd woods, wander up high mountains, look over quiet waters, and I did some serious soul restoring.

Before I left, I was in a serious artist slump, as the title suggested. You know what a slump is, whether you know that you know it or not. It's when you're just not into it. AT ALL. Seriously people. There is nothing in the world I least wanted to do less last week than create any kind of art. This break came at the perrrrfect time.

Something happens to you when you're in the presence of a mountain. I can't describe it well, but if you've ever been there you know what I mean. Its a simultaneous I'm-going-to-vomit, I-can't-handle-this, I-wanna-live-there, I'm-breathless, I'm-dying feeling. You know? Like everything you know is gone and the mountain is the new love of your life. You want to run away screaming and jump and fly over the whole thing at the same time. Wat.

I hope that made some sense. I can't really use words to describe it. If only facial expressions were allowed on blogs, I think that would help.

Anyway. Back at it this week. I'm now inspired by nature and will maybe make some nature-y things. Happy Monday!
