I realize that it would be smart to tackle the scraps a little bit at a time. That was, in fact, my plan. But now that I am so immersed in it, I find I have a single minded determination, and an unwillingness to do anything else. At all. (Except blog, apparently.) I have a cramp in my left hand, a blister on my right hand, and a pain in my back, but I feel I cannot rest until every last scrap is cut to size and sorted into its appropriate pile. And since I didn't get called to sub Thursday, Friday, or today, I have been a scrap cutting machine (possibly at the expense of some other things I probably *should* be doing, but why get into that???) I think I may have a problem.
Anyway, I'm taking a short break to share with you this video that I saw on this blog.
I've been thinking a lot lately about art and what it means to be an artist. And I really like this video. So yeah.

I love that video! Thanks for posting it. As for your scrap cutting, at least it's an obsession you can benefit from (unlike playing computer games all day). And your blisters are keeping the bandaid makers in business.
I believe you and I have the same problem.
What a great video!
Cool beans.
Don't give yourself OCD with those scraps. It's all a lot of fun until someone loses their rational behavior.
Sounds damn satisfying, though. Everything just the right size and shape and perfectly sorted! Just like real life! Oh, wait...
