Life’s been like a hurrican lately, I feel like I’ve been twirling non-stop and my head is spinning. Sometimes I forget to pause, to just stop for a moment and sit still, to listen to the silence and see the small things, the details.
Yesterday was a full moon and in the days just before […]
Now open: Wish Jar Gallery
Posted on May 18, 2008 at 4:16pm in Creativity, Inspiration
In the past few weeks I’ve had several requests for more info on Wish Jars. Stupidly enough I’d posted about Wish Jars before, but I never explained what they are or why you’d have one or how to make them. I apologize and have fixed this: the what’s, how’s and why’s of Wish Jars, very […]
My new friend Cassandra over at Gee How Quaint posed a question that I’ve been asking myself a lot lately as well: where does the need to create come from? In an era where almost anything can be made for us by machines, why do we take the time and make the effort to do […]
"Never allow anyone to clip the silver wings of your golden dreams" ~ Sri Chinmoy
At the beginning of January I reflected on what my theme for this year would be:
"[…] my word for this year is creativity: (re)discovering, developing, embracing, stimulating and sharing my creativity."
In order to do this, I have to know and understand what creativity means to me, why it is important to me and how I […]
My first ever collage!
Posted on February 21, 2008 at 5:17pm in Creativity
Yay! Today I made my first ever collage (as a grown up, that is, I know I made them as a child)! After seeing so many beautiful and inspiring collages at the blogs of Jamie, Shannon and Melba among others I really wanted to try this form of expression. So I gathered some magazines, paper […]
Discovering Project 365 over at Jamie’s, I felt inspired to join in and take a picture every day of this year, thus creating a sort of photo diary. In my case, I started on the 5th of January, so it’s 361 days instead of 365 (well, 366 this year), but who’s counting? Following Jamie’s example, […]
From seriously uncool to seriously cool
Posted on January 11, 2008 at 10:11pm in Creativity
As a kid, I hated the weekly crafts classes. It wasn’t that the assignments were boring, it was just that the results of my crafting labour always looked different than what I had envisioned. Different as in worse, that is. Much worse actually. I simply had to face that I just wasn’t any good at […]
Finally… a list of goals!
Posted on January 07, 2008 at 9:08pm in Creativity, Inspiration, My 101/1001, Project 361, Reflection
It has taken me a few days to think about my dreams, wishes and goals for 2008. In the end, I’ve decided to abandon my initial idea of 52 fun things to do this year and opted for the broader 101-things-in-1001-days-approach. I started yesterday, the 6th of January 2008 and will finish on 3rd October […]
