why I can't create anymore.

I haven't written in almost a year but I am trying to change that. I don't know what has happened to the creative side of me. I use to paint, write and even just think alot...but as you can see I haven't for a while. So my goal is to do something crative everyday. I have always loved making cloth dolls...and I am working on that now. I am going to combine paperclay with cloth and see what happens. I also love the idea of combining cloth with paint. I will post some photos of these in process. I am also going to try encaustic painting...I did look for supplies today but just the supplies seemed a little intimidating. I need to do some research first then I will know what to buy. I once wrote a paper when I was an art student on the effect relationships had on female artist's careers....I picked Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, and Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin. I was sure the facts would support my original theory that being in a relationship with a strong male artist would have a devestating effect on the women's own art career. Instead it seemed that the men were more supportive than average for the time period. I still think that relationships can drain the creative process...because relationships take energy from the self. Does anyone have a thought on this? Has anyone else struggled with this in a relationship?
