This morning I woke up with the unifying structure for these samples. Tharp's book has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. Read it once and that was that. But now it is offering relevance and significant insights. This is what I love about the universe and entering into the creative process, it always brings exactly the tools and resources we need to us once we engage and start working.Jeanne Raffer Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-3018071458779716422012-05-17T23:06:54.202-07:002012-05-17T23:06:54.202-07:00these are so delicate and ethereally beautiful! I ...these are so delicate and ethereally beautiful! I think the creative process is always like this to one degree or another and it's an uncomfortable, exciting place to be. <br /><br /> Took Tharp's book out of the library a while back when Jeane Myers mentioned it. I liked some of it but not all resonated. Always fun to read books on process though!ZenDotStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051368546505731081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-23431074522775857622012-05-17T11:41:28.606-07:002012-05-17T11:41:28.606-07:00I am on a similar road...new work.
