i needed to go off my blood thinners for a minor surgery. i saw this as an opportunity to get another tattoo since they cant be done or done well if one is on blood thinners. i figured if i have to go thru the pain of the surgery i may as well get something fun out of the deal. creating is important for my well being. when i am creating, my mind is busy, my hands are busy, i am not anxiousor worried or afraid, i feel like i imagine other people feel all the time.
so i clipped my arm out of the photo and wrote on the palm and used a warp action to make is fit into the lines and shape of my palm. i smudged the paper under the date banner, so the script is more readable and i used a paint stroke under the "for real"

Hey, I think that's pretty creative of you to be thinking of the opportunities you have off of the blood thinners. I'm right there with you sister on the whole depending on creativity for well being. I think a lot of us are. I like your piece of art work. I hope the surgery goes, or went well for you. :>)
Wow! What a wonderful page! And...a great opportunity to get the tattoo while you could. I feel the same.... crafting and creating are very important to my well being! Hope the minor surgery goes well for you! tfs =)

I really love this! The tattoo is cool, and I love how you've displayed it on the page! I also really love your explanation of your need for creativity. I feel like that too, but have never been able to put it to words quite like that. Love it all!
