a girl from work

This girl I work with said she'd made some thread paintings in the past. I asked if that meant she used both thread and paint on the canvas, and she said no, just thread, and that it got kind of expensive because thread was like $2 a roll, and she used about 30 rolls on the last one. My favorite band from 2002 or maybe 2003 said "Art is Hard" and I will always believe they were right. Most of my friends are starving artists of some kind, or have been in the past. Sometimes I feel like there is hardly a way to recover from this; you are born this way and you both love it and hate it and there is nothing you can do. Still, it got me thinking that I would like to do more arty things, like not thread paintings but whatever my idea of the equivalent of something like that might be. And then I thought about how I already do a lot of cool or just plain weird not-for-money things, at least in comparison to the average normal person, and no matter how many things you create you will always see that there is more ground to cover. I'd like to cover more ground, and also get my hands on one of those thread paintings.
