designer lense

An undertaking like this requires some discipline. I have to make it a priority to carve out the time to think of ideas, to do the actual art and to then sit down to write a card. When being pulled in all different directions, the act of creating and writing can be quite grounding. Throughout the day, I look at the world with a designer lense - which image may be appropriate for my next card, what symbol is pretty enough to replicate, what artist inspires me. When I am at the dentist, instead of being preoccupied with the filling I am getting, I am looking at the machinery to find an interesting motif. The mundane tasks for folding laundry and cooking dinner become a little lighter, because my mind is busy thinking about art.
