Okay, I'm branching out and trying some new things when it comes to creating. I've been trying to put more ACTION into creating more on a regular basis as one of my 2010 promises to myself. I'm also trying to put ACTION into letting go of perfectionism and just enjoy creating as a gift to myself and as an offering to my Creator. So here are a few things I've created lately in their raw form and are still under construction.
My lettering isn't the greatest yet, and I may add something more, once I figure out what that is. I'm just proud that I tried mixing collage for the first time with my acrylics.

A local church started an art class near by, so I went and I made my first mosaic. It was really a lot of fun breaking up old plates and figuring out a design to make from the pieces. It's really a great stress reliever also if you need to hammer out some frustration!
Wouldn't it be fun to mosaic a small table top to use outside this summer when you take your tea out to relax in the warm sun.. ahhhhh...
- I'm anxious for the warmer weather and this piece reminds me of the sun-

I love the idea of creating for the Creator. God created this world from a blank canvas...At the heart of creating is Love. God created us to create and that is a blessing and gift to us. I think he wanted us to experience just a hint of what it feels like to create something from nothing and then stand back and share the beauty of our work. So glad you visited me.
