Inspired Passion

My creative wildfire is once again fully stoked. I was enraptured for several weeks, creating constantly then had a brief lull in the activity. I kind of enjoyed the break, though I still worked on creative outlets every day I was able to read, and rest a bit more easily with the creative flame dimmed slightly. Once again, however, the flame grew and I am spending more time than ever with my creative pursuits.  I have posted on the blog several of the latest works, which I call Passion Pages.  I am loving the muli-media work as it allows me to meld words with other forms of artful expression.  Each of the Passion Pages pieces has a substrate of the actual pages from that chapter. The piece evolves to depict the theme of the particular chapter, finding ways to incorporate the number of that chapter into the piece has been fun.  Now to expand my connection to the larger art community !

Passionate Art

Well, my inward journey has taken me down an unforeseen path.  I have always been a craft person, and I am also a writer.  I constantly shift my attentions from one thing to another, as I am sure many of us do. Fortunately, for me and my household I am not one to leave projects undone or my home would be in chaos. I actually like things to be in order and love to see things to completion.  This new creative pathway exploded within me over the last month or so as I had embarked on an inward time of reflection, meditation, reading and soul-searching.  Out of the quiet came a blinding flash of creative energies unlike anything I had ever know.  I began to explore the very exiciting and limitless world of multi-media art.  What a perfect fit for me - I quilt and sew, I make jewelry, I write, I photograph, in short -I create, and I have been able to incorporate everything into this new medium for expression.  I hope to blog more regularly when the muse allows me away from creation and would love to post the ongoing exploration of this new form of expression.  For now I will share a couple of pictures.  Thanks for watching this part of my journey unfold!- I would usually say, "Onward!", but more apropos to the source of this creative explosion the expression is, "Inward!"
