JOURNALS
Monday has been a rather productive day. I started with some research into daybooking, diving into Tori’s materials. It's always refreshing to step away from coding and indulge in some reading. It’s like giving my brain a bit of a leisurely stroll through a garden of ideas instead of sprinting through a coding marathon. This exploration not only helps me have a break but also serves as fertile ground for inspiration, seeing how different concepts interconnect and shape the art world.
In an effort to merge practicality with creativity, I decided to nudge my 3D printing skills forward. The aim was to fine-tune measurements for a stamp holder, pivoting from a makeshift solution to something more precise and tailored. The measuring was initially postponed till after lunch, a classic case of procrastination, but not lost to the day. I managed to get it done, which sets the stage for some evening printing sessions, where I’ll witness my vision becoming tangible.
Speaking of tangibles, the plan was to implement the 50-10 work-break routine, which turned Monday into a series of invigorating spurts rather than a marathon slump. The bursts of 50 minutes working followed by 10-minute breaks seem to work wonders for maintaining energy. This definitely helped keep the Monday blues at bay and sustain my focus, especially in a studio that’s graciously less freezing.
In between tasks, I also set my plotter machine to execute an arrow stamp flow field, a task that played out like a quiet orchestra in the background, complementing my day. The warmer studio, hovering around 12°C, made the physical aspects of my work much more pleasant. Those additional layers I clothed myself with were just snug enough without making me resemble a bundled-up, immobile marshmallow.
To wrap up, I’m grateful for the moments of warmth that swathe the studio, the satisfying hum of my plotter, and the joy that comes from handling 3D printing. As we plunge deeper into the week, it’s the comfort of productive days that fuels the journey forward — always something to learn, to create, and to cherish.
