I have finally managed to finish Monday’s box! It´s all made in cardboard and is 9 1/2”x10”.
Yesterday I worked 7 hours translating and there’s more today and tomorrow so my studio time is being reduced by half, which made me see how important my creative time is to me…
I’m ok as long as I can get a break and a few minutes to be alone with my pens and paper…too much time without them makes me anxious.
So there’s one more thing that is now very clear in my mind: I CANNOT give up on art. I can associate it with other things but never just not do it…it’s the same as not breathing.
But for everything there is a compensation, and on top of finding out about my feelings about artistic deprivation, I found there ARE people who take the world seriously and who DO think like me…WYSE is a wonderful project and I’m very lucky to have a chance to collaborate so it happens in Brazil. I wish everyone could have a chance of participating in projects like this…the world would most definitely be a better place…
Needless to say, no quilt square nor journal page were made yesterday...I was simply too tired!

Très joli, j'aime beaucoup votre maison de rêve en papier... Un sourire de plus dans ma journée, merci. (very lovely, I'm fond of your nice paper's dreaming home-box. One more smile in my day, thank you)
