from the Balzer Designs Blog: Adventures in Arting Podcast

I'm delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!

If you do not see the podcast player above, please click on this link.  You can listen to a podcast anywhere and at any time.  It is a recording that is available to you whenever you'd like to listen.  If you'd like to download it to your iTunes library, click here.  You can also pause and rewind or fast forward as you desire.  I like to listen to podcasts while I'm making art.  It's a little like hanging out with friends while you art.

Today's podcast is mostly about my experiencing filming Make It Artsy last week, and then some philosophical ramblings at the end.  Next week I'll have a couple of longer blog posts with lots of photos of people and projects.  But in the meantime, here are the fabulous guests (lots of great links to follow, just click on the name you want):

  • Hi Julie,
    I came across Scrapbook Soup by accident and loved it from the moment I saw it and would faithfully watch it on the website every week. In fact I just checked to see if there were any new episodes but now I know what to look for. I marked it on my calendar to remind me. I remember not really being too creative but then I saw Aleene’s Creative Living guest Cheryl Ball and their philosophy is there’s no such thing as mistakes and how to work around it. I’m still my own worst critic but have found when I start getting worked up over something not coming out I just put it down and walk away and when I come back I realize it’s not as bad as I thought. I still have issues having actual grades in art classes because I feel it’s so interpretive and unique. I worked at Michaels and taught scrapbooking classes and had to cover color wheels. I kind of resented it but once I learned and understood it, I love color wheels now. I also learned that my first effort of making something I have an idea for is just to get my idea down, the next few attempts are to refine it. I try hard not to compare myself to others and am getting a little better. I hope I didn’t bore you with this long comment.
