| I call this "imbedded Platitudes |
With the excitement and glitter of Christmas over, and the
throes of yet another winter storm surrounds us, it is easy to get bored,
listless, and just plain down in the dumps. I found myself going over the same
news stories and familiar web sites, looking for…
What? I didn’t know. So I hauled
out the boxes of gathered junk, got out the glue, paint, and scissors.
I didn’t really have a plan for the work, just a loose idea.
I tend to save small pictures, especially if they are from the Victorian era as
well as saving bits and pieces of broken jewelry, found objects, etc. I think
the piece came together rather nicely and didn’t take up a lot of time. I sat
and cut out the pieces while watching a movie. I found it relaxing. It also kept
me from going to the fridge too many times for snacks!
Point of all this: Experiencing life and living creativity
helps keep us inspired. It adds meaning to our surroundings and can help give
meaning and purpose to our lives. One can find inner creativity in a lot of
different ways and doesn’t necessarily require a lot of materials, training, or
time. The object isn’t really to make art as much as it is finding that
wonderful state that makes art inevitable, no matter what the form that takes. Finding
your inner creativity, getting focused, working through obstacles, and staying
inspired is the goal here.
This piece didn’t take a lot of artistic talent on my part
and didn’t take a lot of things that isn’t found around the house; bits of
photos, pictures, bits of old jewelry or found objects, a little paint, glue
and that was it. If you would like to make something similar-stay tuned: I will
post the complete details and instructions next week.
Be inspired---Marie
