SooZeQues Arroyo Junkers and Other Resurrections: January 2010

My art is an infectious need for me, sometimes a burden but most often a blessing.

This blog is about me and my obsessions, my loves, my need to create and my need of JUNK. I'm addicted to thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets and all roads leading off the beaten track to discover that perfect piece of junk. I recycle old license plates, old shovels, wheelbarrows, saw blades and anything else that's funky using my hand held plasma cutter. I love working with steel, sculpting, photography, watercolor painting, stained glass, and turning everyday utilitarian objects into art. Junked cars ~ I will always veer off the path to search out the beautiful wrecked Arroyo JunKers throughout Arizona, New Mexico and anywhere else the road may lead. When I'm not searching for those JunKers

Today's Scorpio Horoscope:

So today was the day I was going out in the side yard to create something new, but as usual I get caught up in too many things I want to do and not enough knowledge or experience to do them. I have grand ideas that I dream of then I get caught up with how little I know. I get in my way a lot and I forget my age ... that I'm not in my 20's with this time to do what I've always wanted to do. I want a DO OVER.. :) Oh well, it is what it is. My horoscope was right on this AM.
It's NEW YEAR and I'm gonna try to make it a good one and hopefully I will find my MUSE.

You can't force creativity. Not even you, Scorpio. As much as you want to produce something fantastic right this minute, you will find that mere mortals such as us need the help of a creative muse. And alas, the muse is a fickle being. You can't just snap your finger and summon it. You must coax it out, slowly, gently. This all takes time, but the end result makes the effort worthwhile. For now, you must sit and wait, and trust that it will come to you.
