A Lack Of Inspiration!

You've probably been wondering when is he going to post the next lesson on "Stretching His Rope"! Well, I'm having a problem there which is summed up by the title of this post. I'm sure you've all had this same sort of experience with projects where, for some reason you just can't seem to regain enough interest to carry on. I'm sorry to say that I am at that point with this one and I think the only thing to do right now is to just walk away from it for a bit and concentrate on something else for a bit. Sorry!

    It has happened to me to and I have not been carving as long as you have so. The thing to do is walk away for a bit and do something else.

    Lynn, you will get over it. Do another of your wonderful creative carvings and the one you "give it a rest" will "wake up" one of these days and "bug you" to "get-er-done."

    Lynn, I agree with the others. In inspiration sometimes just seems to take a vacation. It will return. Maybe a couple of good ol' western movies will give you some ideas?

    Thanks Lynn, Getting us through the wheels and making the pattern for the character has been a great help, I finished my version, and have two newcomers to woodcarving working their way through theirs, we all Love it. You have provided the inspiration, I will post pictures when they finish theirs.

    It happens to the best of us and the worst of us I guess. I hope you can find a way out of your slump and back to doing what you do so well.
