Creation

{Post: 362/365}

resting

and relaxing too much

time to get my mind

under control

and get my focus

onto the work at hand

research

characters

creation

plot lines

and story

time to breath life

and joy

fear and sorrow

hatred and love

into the land 

and its people

time to be author

of my destiny

Inspire

{Post: 355/365}

to affect

to guide

to arouse

by divine influence

to fill

with exalting emotion

to motivate

to elicit

and draw forth

something

to be the cause of

inspiration

creativity

artistry

poetry

imagination

ingenuity

talent or 

vision

Working

{Post: 348/365}

working 

towards

goals

and ideas

a story

brought to

life

hope and purpose

built into

worlds

created

to keep me

moving

and working

towards

goals

Creative BOMB

{Post: 276/365}

beads

findings

string

connectors

colours

and fancy pieces

spread out all over the bed

a piece here

and a wire there

some beads

and a new creation

is born

when I begin

in a small area

to build and create

one of my pretties

it never stays small

before long

the whole bed is covered

in this and that

and I have

not one

not two

or even three

projects on the go

but MANY

the ideas of where to go next

spread out

into the results

of my latest

creative BOMB

Without Internet

{Post: 269/365}

I hate

being without

my internet

for days

and days

on end

because

I lose

connection

to the threads

and pathways

of my creative

spark

of my inspirations

and ideas

I feel

disconnected 

and lost

in deep places

inside my soul

Idea Guy

{Post: 268/365}

YOU

light me up

with laughter

with your brilliance

and genius

you are the

"idea guy"

and I love you

for sharing them with me

sharing your creativity

helps me be

creative myself

I am grateful

we can

collaberate

In My Mind

{Post: 237/365}

why is it

that the

images I see

in my mind

can never be set to paper

or done the justice

they deserve

how wonderful 

it would be

if i could describe

what I see

and someone 

far more talented

could paint

or draw

or create

the images

in my mind

Paint

{Post: 236/365}

to paint

or not to paint

is the big

question

it has been

a long time

since I

lifted a brush

to paint on canvas

long since

I became a mother

and my energy

went to raising my children

my youngest

is now old enough to know

NOT to touch

drying paint 

and hubby says

I should try again

because it used to 

bring me JOY

maybe

I will paint

Inspiration Tree

{Post: 235/365}

in my mind's eye

I see

a tree

painted on the wall

of my office

with a door

the open door

to my dreams

to my inspiration

to my creativity

to the magic

and power 

I hold inside myself

to set it free

I must paint the tree

and the door

to my soul

Ideas

{Post: 234/365}

ideas

bursting

randomly

in the

creative chaos

that is my mind

fleeting bits

of language

a turn of phrase

full sentiments

and sentences

of 

stories

that clamour

to be told

Creating Beauty

{Post: 228/365}

swirls

colours

designs

copper

silver

string

shapes

beads

gemstones

pendants

hearts

rings

flowers

charms

focal beads

the list goes on

and lost in a pile

of beading magazines

and patterns

my creativity

comes alive

and I create

BEAUTY
