What is Wednesday

FAQ

I feel like I have been doing a lot of the I am overwhelmed posts for the Wednesday post. And I don’t want to do it for the third week.

So I decided that I will do a news drop instead.

Serena is writing again. The Sea Wytch is actually moving forward and I have hope that it will be done this year.

Fae corps publishing is in current negotiations with a narrator to be able to offer audio books.

We are also in negotiations for the possibility of offering another imprint under our team.

I am posting my poetry images on patreon. Any paid amount will allow you to see them. They will not be available anywhere else. I am trying to not post the same poem anywhere else as well. So unless you are a patron the only way to see those poems are to buy the books.

Not sure if I announced it here but I have a new intern for Fae corps who is running the fae corps publishing blog. They are taking a huge amount of work off my plate each week. That should help me with my overwhelmed life.

I have signed up for the half marathon on the poetry marathon. 12 poems in 12 hours. It’s June 15th.

I am sure there’s more news but I don’t know what else to say…. So I will try to remember it by next week.

Musical ah ha moment

Meme - Overthinking

So my boyfriend and I have different views on the song popular monster. I prefer the one by Falling in Reverse  and he prefers Halocene’s version. This is really not a big thing. We have different views on songs that we both like and we just deal with the other persons view.

We were going to a appointment today and his vehicle so he gets to choose the music. He played popular monster and it was an ah ha moment for me. Halocene’s voice is the same register as I sing in my head… So I like the other one because I can enjoy the song. Halocenes version ends up being my inner voice.

And that song is a little bit too close to home.

Overcompensating

By Patricia Harris

The pain seems to spread
Because when one thing is hurting
We overuse another thing
To compensate for the loss of
The broken part…

Why do I feel like
This stretches to emotional
Situations as well as the physical?

Is overcompensating just a
Human traits that we don’t
Know how to avoid?

Today I want to talk about Resin Art… and what is that?

Some call molded resin less than art. Art often implies some kind of creative touch added.

Crafting with molds usually means adding stuff to the molds and then pouring resin in and letting it set.

The stuff you add can be beads, or colorants, or other things that you think would make the items look good.

I have a large collection of molds.  no two pieces are ever the same.

so what do you think? is molded resin art?

What a week!

Meme - Not today

okay, so I have overdone everything.

my body aches everywhere.

I have a few things that are still in the works, and I am not sure what I have that I can share about them.

I know I have to work on a million things… but it has been a long week.

So I don’t have any more spoons.

My Faults

By Patricia Harris

In my head
my faults are mountain sized,
built from the moments I have
so often tried…
and seen the inability
to make it work…
so the blame was in me?
because where else could it be?

instead of seeing the struggle
I have endured and the learning curve
that me was set before,
I assumed that I was flawed.

Overcome the world laid at my feet,
every issue did I defeat, just not in perfect grace,
so I listed my own flaws in litany
because I saw the struggle as my disgrace.

So, here is another change. This week has been so many of them, right? Picture heavy posts are hard to continue. And though I enjoy the convenience of Just posting my own art and going with it…

Time to pivot.

Part of art is… for me… understanding what makes it art. Is it just pleasant to look at? If so then that would prevent the majority of modern era pieces. 

I’m going to be continuing to upload my own work but I will be posting it as a patreon link. It’s going to be mostly on a free tier there and linked here for the sharing. Though I have plans for some things to be behind the paywall.

The other question I want to discuss over the course of time not only what is art, but are there any limits on it? And why are there said limits?

The thought behind this line of blog posts is when are you an artist, and why?  The discussion is of course one that I have been doing internally for many years… so now I think that I should take y’all along with.

Oh, and the last thing I will be discussing during my topic is AI art. I’m not going to pretend to like anything AI but I will be able to do a polite discussion about it.
