Its all about perspective

Browsing around some artistic websites today, beauty smiled at me.  There is an instillation going on about perspective using beautiful illustrating cuttings.  

Through life, we often find things that look black and white on the surface.  Look deeper.  When a situation is examined through all sides, true color is revealed.  Before you know it, what was once straightforward is now brimming with color.

Remember that as you walk through life.  It is truly all about perspective.  Your first impression is not always correct.  The full story is not always revealed until all aspects have been explored.

Make sure to allow your depth to shine through in all your creative endeavors.

Jazzed up for Creativeness

Right now my house is (semi) clean.  My children are just about to go back to school after their long Christmas break.   I am getting jazzed up to do some crafting, creating and projects.  I have already started on creating some beautiful new painted new pendants.  I have videoed part of the process to share when completed. 

I am trying to let my spirit soar with continuing to make space in my life for new projects.  Clearing out some of the old stuff that hasn't been touched for long enough there is an inch of dust to accumulate.  Think of old projects that brought joy to me that can be shared with you and my boys and new projects to add to my life. 

There is a lightness coming over me that is quite enjoyable.  I hope to encourage this feeling in any way possible.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

Embrace your Creativity

Creativity is a vital pulse of our lives. It can touch every aspect of our very being. We interact with someone's creative spirit from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep. From inventions to art to music - every aspect of our existance was someones exciting idea at one point. At night we play in our own playground of imagination.

We should strive to live our lives to embrace our own creative spirit. Express ourselves through crafting, music and the arts. Either through appreciation or through active creation!

Many people look at the accomplishments and creations of others and think "I could never do that!" when in truth, they could if they would just move their egos and own doubts out of the way. Will it be perfect? Maybe, maybe not. Will it be grand or fall flat? Who knows! But the important part is that it was CREATED. That you embraced your inner voice and allowed it to shout out loud THIS IS ME!!!! I am FREE to touch the stars, soar in the clouds, walk the thick green grass or dig deep within the cool fresh earth.

Creativity is more then making something or appreciating something. It is about allowing yourself to have the freedom of a voice.

Let your voice sing.
