My ex literally told me I couldn’t make art anymore unless it sells and kept trying to get me to make more things that sold. I never wanted to own a business. They kept telling me we were really poor. Turns out they were blasting the money and cheating on me and took all of it (that was meant for a house) and got a house with the person they were sleeping with. I felt like I lost my love for art. I couldn’t make what I wanted because I had to make all these orders that sold instead. (Granted people kept asking to buy them and instead of saying no I was expected or guilted into doing it.) then after the split it just made me depressed because my art is why they started loving me and it made it bitter. I got sad. I no longer had inspiration. I felt defeated. ………then one day I made this. I love this. It’s not much but after two years it really brought a strong flame for art back. I’ll eventually post the final product as it’s a three piece thing but this? I really wanted the world to see this. It’s hope. I hope everyone feels how I did rediscovering myself. It’s amazing.

It’s a secret.

So it's being manipulated and violated while doing doing something you love? Dude, I feel that. I'm glad you are doing art again, that looks hella amazing. Don't sell shit, fuck 'em, do what you want, I am glad you shared, I really like your work.
ifeellikesheet
I appreciate that so much thank you!

Looks great for taking two years off 👍
ifeellikesheet
Thank you! I surprised myself tbh! I was just playing with it and then I was like WHAT I KNOW WHAT TO DO

OMG I want it

Art isn't about wanting or having it is about appreciating, loving, enjoying, admiring. But I can relate to the feeling
Laylah77
Love your work. Same thing happened to me with music.
ifeellikesheet
I hope you find that again

Tell your ex an eskimo in northern Greenland hates her guts, and she can go choke on a giant donkey dong. :)

1. You are talented! 2. Your ex is a c*nt. 3. This is a beautiful piece! 4. I relate. My ex's family insulted my drawing and I haven't been able to really draw since. Also took everything. 5. You doing this gives me a spark of something.... Thank you.
ifeellikesheet
You are so welcome. They tried to take everything too. They stalked me and they put up a restraining order (a song and dance to help their story more than likely. I left immediately almost three hours away and they asked for one two weeks later.) they talked so much hate about me online. I lost all of my inlaws. We were close. My art my style my pets. Everything was just not enough. But I am enough. And so are you. I hope you make art again one day. I bet it’s beautiful.

Do you still feel like sheet?
ifeellikesheet
No but the name makes me laugh still
notyoubizness

I can empathize deeply, having made choices about continuing my art due to my ex’s opinions, comments, and always making everything about money.
I have yet to really pick it up, save some crafts here and there.
Thanks for sharing your joy.
ifeellikesheet
I hope you rediscover your flame. It’s an empty feeling for an artist to lose it. They aren’t worth taking your power from you.
murrrsu
What kind of a person denies others doing arts and crafts? That's just insane to me.
tooomanystevesgotbanned
Congratulations on your recovery progress.
ifeellikesheet
Thank you so much! I’m trying very hard.

Art is allowed to be art, OP, and nothing more. Not everything needs to be a side hustle, you're allowed to enjoy your hobbies for yourself and no one else. Anyone tells you differently, tell them to fuck off.
ifeellikesheet
Thank you. I am from now on.
Garosmith
BRO, how do you start this hobby?
ifeellikesheet
I picked up some clay and kinda just stuck with it! It takes practice and maybe some tutorials!
CraftyGiant
This story is so close to that of a friend of mine that I wondered for a moment if you could be them.. but I dont think their ex got a new house.
ifeellikesheet
Technically they didn’t “get” a new house but you can message me if you’d like.
CraftyGiant
Do you work for the BRC DPW?
ifeellikesheet
Nope! :) safe to say I’m not the person you know but I hope they are ok too :)
CraftyGiant
They are better than they were with their ex, beyond that its hard to say. I dont get to see them in person enough.
ifeellikesheet
You should fix that, or try to. I know I’ve been single the whole time as they really did a lot of damage and I rely on my friends a bit more now that I’m alone. Even a check in gives me the warm fuzzies. I’m grateful.
alwaysupvotebeagles
I can see you are out of practice. 98% of the snake is missing. Keep going tho, the 2% you did looks amazing
ifeellikesheet
Haha I did! It’s a three piece snake XD
alwaysupvotebeagles
I’m impressed by your skill and talent. No sarcasm this time

I got you beat, I haven't sculpted in over 50 years and counting
ifeellikesheet
Ah shit I better start stopping! ;p

I got a big head start on you! (keep up the good work)

Bro/Girl, get a fucking lawyer. It was still your money. You weren't married.
ifeellikesheet
We were.
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Also that's awesome and I have no clue how you got them stones in their, unless it isn't cast metal?
ifeellikesheet
This is polymer clay with black painted base and bronze paint detail
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Looks damn real, nice!
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Fuck. :( If you separated without a lawyer, a lawyer may still be able to help, but I imagine you already covered that shit so nevermind, I'm a dumbshit, I'm sorry, that shit sucks 10 pounds of shit through a 5 ounce straw(I don't know what this means).
ifeellikesheet
And you aren’t dumb. I didn’t say shit about it so honestly, honest mistake.
ifeellikesheet
Hey it’s ok! I grew from that a lot. I’ve been single a year And divorce was finalized. I don’t have to worry about them bringing me down anymore and I’m healing. I’ll keep working hard and get some place. :)
