Wow! Can you believe we are 2 months+ in to this brand NEW YEAR and a new decade!! Has your world been crazy? Mine has, and it has taken me to new and different paths and brand ways of creating. Those who follow me know I am in Love with the arts and I love to experiment with interesting new products, cool amazing techniques I see on Youtube, Pinterest and more but the most fun comes from sharing and seeing the excitement of others as we dive in together. Some use the words "addicted" to describe some new thing that has captured their attention, desires and heart. I then would have to admit having a multi-addicted life when it comes to my world of Creativity and I feel ok with that though because our Creator is also!
One theologian writes:
We reveal His glory when we are creative. It is a part of His nature and He has given us creative powers. We, His creatures, love to create. We Paint, build, draw, sew, design, mold, form, write, and so many other things – often for no more reason than enjoying the act of doing it. There is creativity in thought, culture, art and literature, work, economics, and in all other areas of life.
When I read those words I really identified, I am grateful to to enjoy many means of creative expression!Do you ever think of something you love and say "I'd die without... Art in its many forms is that "love" for me BUT here I am experiencing a very long drought.
Painting had been a daily expression, I was always in the middle of a variety of pieces whether they were for an upcoming Spring Boutique or for a commissioned artwork... then there was Life Interrupted.
Last year my I had shared a video with my sweetheart. It was intriguing, I had watched someone playing with paint in a way I hadn't tried before. A great descriptive would be "LET IT GO, LET IT GO".
Oh wait a minute, there is a song from kids movie with that song featured, hahaha!
The video showed something so very simple but so beautiful in the end.
We promptly assessed our art tools and paint supplies then found ourselves drawn to setting up our own dedicated "Art Pouring" space. Of course we couldn't keep it to ourselves so before long we hosted a Pour Birthday party for my sweet friend Melanie Diane. That was a year plus ago and it has spurred me to do more.
It is not where I want it to be creatively speaking but it is growing!
What has been going on in your crafty world friends?
