“I didn’t nooooooo,” Thalia piles paper straws and Popsicle sticks onto studio’s table top, “a trip to the crafffff-t store would open floodgates.”
Nia records their receipt’s total. “And so — economical!”
“Adventure is within reach…” Calliope holds a tiny key charm, “when you open the gate.”
Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.
~Dorothy Parker
Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use — do the work you want to see done.
~Austin Kleon
A note from LoveLetterist:
Many things happened yesterday.
Here are two experiences that I learned from.
1. I have tons of energy for perusing and picking inexpensive items to create with. What might have looked like aimless wandering of aisles was building a foundation for what will grow into a whimsical book.
2. "It's not true that life is one damnn thing after another -- It's one damn thing over and over." Edna St. Vincent Millay
You might recall I recently engaged with an instructional watercolor book only to put it back on the shelf?
Yesterday I checked out a poetry handbook from the library. I'm so glad I didn't buy it because trying to express myself while having to consider mute consonants, semi-vowels, and aspirates -- makes me want to go mute myself.
I much prefer the simple idea that poetry happens when -- love and words combine.
Know thyself!
What a visually delicious treat today! The wild surf echoes Dorothy Parker’s approach to being creative. And yours. You certainly used your eye and steady hand to blend the colors and movement to create your visual expression today! Without the aid of Minions. Only Muses.
I enjoyed learning about Austin Kleon’s use of gardening details in his writing. Everything can be this. Everything can be that.
Everything and the kitchen sink! A fine Kohler single-bowl model at that. 😊
