Every time I start something new, I get very nervous. I usually ask myself a ton of questions. Today, I asked:
How big should this car be in comparison to the one I just made?
Will a beaded Einstein fit inside the car?
How many layers of felt should I cut out?
Where will I get parts for the interior of the car?
What size canvas' should I use for this trilogy?
How am I going to make this work?
Am I crazy?
Those were just a few of my thoughts, and I didn't have many answers! So, I just started cutting out some felt:

Those were just a few of my thoughts, and I didn't have many answers! So, I just started cutting out some felt:
After a few hours, some felt shapes finally emerged from the mess on my kitchen table!
It's difficult to see, but I cut out 7 layers of felt, then I stacked them on top of each other. This Back to the Future time machine measures 11.5" wide x 5.5" tall!
I guess maybe I shouldn't question myself so much?? ;)

Questions is brain-building!
So please, keep up that gymnastic, cause the results even in art through Your hands! Maybe this would be easier to see in a video of Your craft-work along with a PET-scanning at the same time :-)
Have a lovely day!!!
Philosopher Sam Keen once wrote that well formed questions seldom lead to answers but to more questions. I agree.
Sometimes it is a painful process to create, questions and instinct collide but produce amazing results.
You go girl! I often pause (sometimes for several weeks) after finishing a project, so I'm very inspired by your work ethic and decision making process.
Thanks for the comments! Nick, i agree with that quote, too! And, Cynthia, I just try to do a little every day. Sometimes, I feel I am working very slow, and it's usually because I am too busy thinking of how I'm going to do it! LOL.
I always talk out loud about what ever I'm doing. You go girl.
I love seeing how you construct your amazing pieces of beaded art!!!
