I have had my moments of procrastination it has to be said and I think I need a big sign to stick it on the fridge that basically says you know you'll enjoy it once you get started. Hello and welcome to episode.

Hello and welcome to episode six of Art Juice behind the scenes conversations about making art and the creative life with me Alice Sheridan

and me Louise Fletcher

first of all before we get started, I just want to say thank you so much everybody who has listened, who has shared, who has sent us messages. I think we are both absolutely blown away by the

response aren't we? Yes it's been absolutely fantastic unless you're all

being very very kind and just being nice to us, we really appreciate the fact that you actually like it. Thank you.

I think what's been amazing for me is that we have somehow managed to touch both people kind of emotionally and

And then three weeks later I'll say something

that's contradictory.

And everyone will say, hang on a a minute that's not what I know that's exactly what I was thinking the other day I was thinking and also because we recorded a few of these a little bit in advance, I'll be saying, oh, I'm completely stuck, and then the next

week I'll be saying, oh, I'm flying along, and it will seem really weird. But I do feel like that.

When you feel stuck, you feel totally stuck. like that when you feel stuck you feel totally stuck and then when you feel

flying you feel totally flying and it can be within a few days of each other.
