#1: Whitesnake Season Again.

Written By Cara Kolt

What’s Whitesnake season you ask?

Welp. Here I go again on my own…..heh. (here’s the classic vid)

I will admit, it never gets any easier to start. When I say that I mean anything. The laundry, weeding, a new painting,lyrics, a piece of jewelry. That first step somehow feels irreversible, and each time, with that first action, regardless of what I am doing, it feels like this : well. Here you are again, stepping onto that tightrope….will everyone see my fallibility? Or wait, is it bravery this time? OR just the Aries in me taking action too quickly.

I feel like  beginning anything is a beautiful and perfect example of creativity in its purest form. One needs to gas up…almost overconfident in order to silence the goblins in your head that mutter really unhelpful things like “but you have no plannnnn” , or “youre not doing it the RIGHT way” or the worst…”who cares, why bother?”

So what exactly am I starting?

Ha!

Well, at the moment Im starting a blog again. So, Hi!

HAHA

Im back at lengthy online writing again, something that I used to CRAVE,  and if youre on my personal f**ook you probably notice my lengthy live journal style posts. OH BOY did I love livejournal..

So what exactly is this blog about?

What isnt it about?

But seriously, and more specifically, this blog is about the trial and the terror of learning how to do life. Of how to live. And even more specifically, how to do life as an artist, a creative, a maker, a philosopher, while trying to undo what the world and being alive has tried to do to my creative heart.

What topics can you expect here?

  • creativity

  • inner purpose

  • you as an artist :  being and doing

  • self: worth, inner dialogue, the artist and trauma, the artist and neurodiversity

  • failing hard and how to rise again

  • FUCK THE UNIVERSE moments

  • cool life hacks Ive learned

And of course,

  • art making: tutorials,  experiences and reflections on

  • painting

  • writing

  • metalsmithing

  • hacking/duping

  • saving $$

SO. MANY. TOPICS.

On top of this blog, I will be launching a members area, The Creatives Void, that is free, just sign up and receive access. The idea, is for makers, creatives and artists can come together and share: ideas, current work, and tips, as well as networking OFF OF F*OOK and IN*TA. Your photos and writing will remain your property here.  Lets just see what we can cook up my brilliant bebbies. <3
