Cultivating Creativity

Oh, if you were a fly on the wall and you were watching my process of how I create...you would fly away! I create my own chaos, I know..but it is my process.  I can spend hours on something, and then, that GOD given technique of intuition kicks in...and that "something just is not right" feeling comes over me..

So in a nutshell, here is how one thing ...becomes another (I should have filmed it!)  I started with a blank canvas, some Mod Podge, some white paper, a sponge, some string and some watercolors..

and it became this...  
but I just was not loving it...I did not hate it..just did not love it...so I let it sit for hours and came back to it, and painted over the entire thing...and grabbed LOTS of torn paper and Mod Podge

 
and created a paper mosaic (not a great idea for paper hoarders like me because now I will NEVER throw another scrap away!)....and it became this

 
except...I did not love it. I liked it, but felt that it was not me. Maybe because it was mostly pink, and I only like PINK (the singer) and I just was not feeling it....so...after several hours of just leaving it alone, I came back to it...

and painted over it...(see I told you that you'd want to fly away!)..I painted over the hearts..I painted over the background...over the string...I used the sponge..I wiped this, that and the other...

and I LOVE it.

Now, I know that we are all different (duh!) and have different tastes & styles...and I also know that I can not please everyone (dang it!) and some of you are going to LOVE one of these..and possibly....HATE another, (well maybe not hate)..but you know what I mean!

so, which one is your favorite?

1 (paint and strings)

2 (Mosaic papers)

3 (paint, Mosaic,paint)

and because I am GODS Creative CRASH test DUMMY and HE fills my head with ideas and inspiration which leads me to create ALOT...over and over...I kept going...and here is just a look at what is being cultivated right now....

 
Happy Friday!
