A Creative Quandary...

I love it how your friends know just what you love

and send you through perfect photos of their new tea pot and cup

like my friend Von did last week

She knows I can't resist the gorgeous shapes and colours

and I had every intention of painting it up to post this week

I even started drawing it up and getting the first layer of paint down yesterday

but it is just too pretty and my painting is just not coming together

so rather than ruin it I thought I would put it aside and save it for another day

when the painting gods are being a bit kinder

I thought that instead I would get in and do a bit of drawing

on a page for my tea themed zine

that is progressing oh so slowly

and seeing as I had already painted in some colours

the painting gods weren't needed

and my trusty microns would be there to start to give it some structure

Of course I then got distracted by

the accidental composition of the microns 

against the paper and tea cup

and I have drawn that instead of what I had planned on working on

which also explains the extra slow going on the zine

and to make it all worse

now I am torn because I did a bit of painting on my drawing

and it seems the paint gods are smiling again

so now do I work on the page

or go back and try to finish off the tea pot???

Quite the creative quandary

of course if I give it ten minutes 

I am sure something else will distract me 

so maybe the best course of action is to pop the kettle on

and go heck out some other tea blogs ...
