creative bliss ....

...amongst the mess

Creative processes work differently for everyone. My brain rolls around a few shapes, colors and textures. All these doodles end up scattered before me looking like a mess. I cut things, bending them, this way and that. I trace and draw, refining a shape and there is endless measuring. My husband comes home and glances over my shoulder and says,
"Are you making little snowmen?"
And I stare at my pile of treasures and wonder .....hawh...?

Treasures...that is just what my creations feel like to me. They are small pieces of myself that derive from my present state of mind and I feel very emotional about the entire process. I surround myself with these items, all organized in containers on wheels, so they can follow me around the house.

Did you know that when you ask someone a question, they usually look up and to the right. Try it. This is because we store our information in the upper parts of our brain and it is a natural reaction to the mental search. I find that I day dream a lot and catch myself looking up for new ideas. Even now, my brain is putting together something beautiful that resembles a shimmering ocean treasure, a pendent that will hang from silk and there are sooooo many variations of this theme.

I am excited, energized and my body is slowly showing signs of healing. My brilliant hubby and I listened to what all the doctors had to say and then took matters into our own hands. Between that and being a MAjor squeaky wheel, along with you (my little bloggie squeakers)...I think some healing balm was mercifully sent down!

So, whether we are neat or messy, organized with eyes searching, sloppy and squeezed tight, or just dreaming up our ideas, creative projects are individual pieces of ourselves.

Uniquely you in every way.
