A "FREE" ART PROJECT

A free art project means two things to me:

1.  Using materials I already have around and/or recycling materials.

2.  Free thought and ideas with no pre-conceived notion of the outcome.

Randomly choosing materials and colors and see what direction the project goes.  This is a fun and creative way to use your mind and energy. 

This is where free art led me today.  A mixed media canvas to remind me to be aware of the power of my thoughts, and to always practice gratitude.


THE FULL COLOR VERSION

I ALWAYS LIKE TO VIEW THE BLACK & WHITE VERSION, BECAUSE IT PROVES THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A LOT OF GRAY AREAS EVERYWHERE.  NOTHING IS EVER JUST *~*~"BLACK" or "WHITE" *~*~

For Fairy Lovers Only

My only question is, "Where does this creativity and vision come from?"

New Year Resolution, One I know I can keep!

I received a very special birthday card this year from my very best friend.  Usually we give each other cards that share our sense of humor or our love for animals, but this year was different.  The card was beautiful by any standards, but it was the message that was so thought-provoking for me.  There was one line in particular, it said "I like being unfinished".  This really struck a chord with me.  Finally there is a name for how I feel - unfinished, and almost like a permission slip saying, hey it is okay to keep learning and growing.  Imagine that at our ages!  How wonderful to know that we are never really finished and we have permission to explore, change, learn and grow.

So for 2012, I am going to live in a marvelous, magickal way.  I am going to read, learn, create and explore in every area that peaks my interest.  And I will know that at the end of 2012 and beyond, I will still be "unfinished".

"Mr.Winter" paid us a quick-ie visit today, because he was escorted by
"Miss Sunshine" and she just made him melt!
