Welcome to 2010!

Kiaora and welcome back!
The hardest thing I did today was enter the lab again after a months absence. The reason I found it difficult was because I was worried I would have forgotten everything I had been taught so far in the lab. But it is amazing how things just come back to you!
I've been absent from the lab over December to fulfil my job obligations and to allow myself to focus more on creativity. While I thoroughly enjoyed my training in the lab, i felt creatively restricted. I felt I couldn't confidently bring forward an artistic idea, without soon finding out it would be impossible to create. Now however, I do feel confident that I know the possibilities and the limitations of the material. This knowledge has allowed me greater exploration of my concepts and ideas.
So now I am more aware of how to create, my problem is, 'what to create?'.......
