Time out
everyone needs to give me space...!!
Oh yes, you know what I am talking about.
All of us have experienced the symptoms of stress.
Sure, stress is a normal part of life...
and
it effects each of us differently.
However, it is clear that too much stress can be an overload...
blocking our creativity.
As creative individuals, we tend to become easily overwhelmed
by taking on too much at one time.
Give me space!
It is okay, to demand for your creative time.
To be present with yourself, be playful, and create art.
Enjoy the process...
Remove the distractions, this is a must.
Lose yourself in the moment...
and conjure up happy, playful, creative energy.
Gather whatever materials are around you and just create.
Don't focus on the finished project.
Have fun and make art!
This is exactly what I did!

I have some colorful background paper to use for future projects.
I demanded my space.
I was able to be creative.
I got to explore and be playful.
and...
Yes, I found this very relaxing!

ReplyDeleteCarving out this time is so important. It can be hard to do..but once we do it doesn't it just feed the soul in amazing ways? :0)
ReplyDeleteLove your backgrounds and that you created the time to get creative in.
Love the results of your "playing". I think creating painted background papers like that is just about one of my favorite things to do. That and just cutting and pasting papers to make little collages. All very meditative and therapeutic.
