on shutting down the inner critic

tomorrow i am going to be hosting out of town guests for a full day of studio visits with some of the Twin Cities most innovative designers. it took most of my free time today to set up the itinerary and get commitments from everyone. so, when it came time to make a STILL blog photo, it was already late in the day, and i was preoccupied and a little bit at a loss. fortunately, there is my in-case-of-emergency drawer of colorful dried bits. equally fortunately, there is something about being in a hurry that shuts down my inner critic, and as a result many of my favorite compositions have bloomed out of the seemingly barren soil of distraction, hurry, and lack of resources. today i’m pleased to add another to the collection.
