"Let your L I F E be a painting..."

F i r s t   t h i n g s   f i r s t....

I needed to share this inspirational goodie with everyone...

a simple beautiful arrangement of words~

" When I say B E creative,

I don't mean 

you should all go

and become great painters 

and great poets.

I simply mean

let your L I F E be a painting,

let your L I F E be a poem."

-ohso

I fell in love with this quote, while reading a book that has become 

one of the most profound finds, 

filling my art spirit at the moment.

Creative is a Verb

Patti Digh

(just a little teaser~ but I'm interested in throwing out some seeds  to see if anyone 

would want to take root in this book together. 

As a small tribe, I think it could be invaluable to share learning, through the words 

and creative challenges that Patti Digh has woven together in this incredibly insightful book. 

Let me know in the comments section or by email if there is any interest.)

Are you thinking...what up with all the photo's? 

I had a lot going on this week in the land of "creating". 

I was juggling between a couple of etsy orders for my personalized keychains

~new plate designs using my watercolors-stay tuned

~a new idea that's been brewing in my right brain for a artsy pin (above) 

using textural yarns & silk and...

~more little inspirational birdhouses.

personalized keychains in process.... 

one of the finished pieces.... 

 the little birdhouse line-up...

a few finished designs ... I'm liking the words... I'm liking the words!

So- the items for upcoming boutiques & refilling the etsy store are well under way, 

but I need to get back to my paint brushes!

 Maybe next week?

 Once again... linking up to studiojru ~ 

lots of inspiration & talented artist linkups to see!
