A recipe for excuses that you can serve any time of year:

Difficulty:  Easy
Prep Time: Your whole Life
Serving Size: Every time you do art

Ingredients

One large project or a small series of projects

a minimal sense of commitment

Directions

Now take the result and spread it over the project of your choice.

Pour the entire mixture over your lack of commitment, adding a dash of taking the easy way out on top of the whole mess for decoration.

 Finally procrastinate until you are ready to:

STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND REALLY DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR ART
