Evidences in the creative field

Last night, I discovered that embroidery is better done during the day.  Natural light seems to be easier on the eyes than crude artificial light.  Maybe my lighting isn't the best but I have to go with what I have.  I don't really invest in the halogen lamps used for crafting.  It would be more a hindrance than anything else.  I don't really have a fixed working area.  I have a few area where I have projects, finished or not.  Having the lamp wouldn't help me.  I would have to set a place for the light too.  So, embroidery won't be an evening activity.

Another evidence I discovered over the weekend, is patience and time.  Patience is a vertue, as the saying goes.  I had done some projects that involved some patience.  I thought doing those projects would be completed a bit faster.  It was not the case.  I have to better evaluate time for each kind of projects.  I would be more fatal is it were in a professional setting.  I am not a professional artist but if I were, I would have deadline to meet.  If I would have a commission, I would have to know how to set my own deadline.  I will have to explore that further on.

Last evidence: working on something that demand a lot of details and concentration doesn't do well with a headhache.  Both in the same time does not have good result.  The projects seems to go even more slowly. I even questionned myself if I should stop and take a rest from creativity.  My body was doing fine except the head.  I wonder if there is a art that can alleviate the effects of headache.  It would be something to look for and do some experimentation.
