Beginning again.

The beginning of each year is a mixture of excitement and freedom for me. I can celebrate what was previously made but also move on to what is next. Sitting down to dream up what forms, colors, and textures I will explore in the coming year has become one of my favorite parts of January. I haphazardly scribble shapes and shadings in my bullet journal searching for forms that will be pleasing, balanced, beautiful and functional. Chasing ideas that have surfaced as the Lord has taken me down rabbit holes while studying His word or in talking with a friend. I’ve been trying to push myself to think more conceptually over the past few years which has opened a whole new world of making up to me. I wonder what 2025 will hold? I wonder what forms will emerge from my hands and my heart. Lord, lead on.
