messing about and loving it.

For months i ve been saying i just want to go to the print studio and just experiment.Print stuff that doesn t matter,mix up colours i don t usually use,have a cup of tea and a chat,just generally relax and enjoy it.I m loving it-my mind is going bonkers with ideas now which is good because i d had a couple of weeks thinking that my creativity was well and truly dried up( cue panic and wringing of hands) but it just seemed i needed to take a chill pill,as they say...
