Balancing Act

My studio schedule has changed and I am now only in at MoB one day a week. For the past few years, as a resident member of MoB Workspace, I have been dividing my time fairly equally between this group studio and my home studio. Since late last year I found that this balancing act just wasn't working out for me and something was going to have to give. The problem was simply that I was getting too busy and needed to be as productive as possible. Productivity meant time to make my jewellery with all my various bits and bobs and time at the computer. Both of these were just more easily done at home.

I have such mixed feeling about this change. I do feel less stressed and more organised (my house is actually sort of clean right now!). It is a little scary to be on my own more often because being a part of a group is stimulating and has helped my practice enormously. Luckily I'm still a part of MoB, and more recently Umbrella Collective plus I feel a part of this (very real) online community. So perhaps I shouldn't really feel alone.

For the rest of the year I'll be in the MoB studio on Thursdays. So if any of you are ever in Brisbane please pop by and see me as I'd love to meet you! Also I hope one day to have a short-term residency in another studio in another place. So if you know of any openings please let me know , because I'd love that too!
