Let Go – to create an opening

Even a little bit of letting go makes space for something new.

have a vision

It is challenging for a mixed media artist to let go of things. Because we think, “Oh I could use this for something.”

move beyond the chaos

Yes but, how long have we been saving it?

  • Months?
  • Years?
  • Decades?

I challenge you to experience the opening created by letting go. 

Fear of letting go

Try one of these approaches:

  • Sort through one box and trash 1/2 of it
  • Tackle one small table and let go of anything you don’t use right now
  • Get rid of old work – (it might be weighing you down)

It is hard to let go.

But I always feel lighter and ready for something new when I create an opening by throwing out something that no longer feeds me.
