I've been quite the lazy blogger lately. I think there's been a few things holding me back--- adjusting to our new life in New Mexico, and trying to wiggle out of the creative rut I've been in.I realize that the now limited supply of Gocco materials out there (as well as the jump in prices and almost-near hysteria) is slowly forcing me to find a new craft. This makes me really sad, and I think a bit "stuck." While I've been experimenting with papercutting and more projects involving found and recycled paper and will share more soon, I really am mourning Gocco . . . a bit prematurely, I know. But it makes me so sad that it will soon go the way of the Polaroid.
I've also been fighting off a massive bout of homesickness. This is the loveliest time of year in New England, the time I drive from Boston to Vermont with the windows open, to go apple picking with my grandmother and enjoy all the fried-food goodness at the state fair. Albuquerque is beautiful, but I feel seasonally out-of-sorts. I'm anxiously awaiting the balloon fiesta, which will become our new tradition here!
