Food for Thought…

I love a good quote. It gives me something to connect to, an idea that feels
good to hear. Today, this quote is on my mind, I believe it to be true.

“As long as we’re creating, we’re cultivating meaning”

Material of the Week 10/19-10/25

Clear Plastic Containers!
We have featured these cool containers before. They are great for making displays, science creations or anything else that might come to mind this week…

Instagram is a great tool for seizing little Aha’s in time that catches my eye and brings me to the moment at hand.
This week @createstudio these moments called my attention to creativity in direct ways and expressive things like a word on a sidewalk, a pumpkin gentleman, a saying, painting feet, a spooky house, a sewing ninja and a quiet mouse, Ah…

Weekly WOW!

Mia made the cutest little mouse from a rock and a sock!
I am so impressed by the inspiration and the vision she had for the little rock beneath it all! I must say, seeing in the unseen is a common occurrence at CReATE but is always a big WOW to see.

@createstudio this week we have had fun with yard bits, altered Hula Dancers, spooky bottles on display, an inspiring book and halloween decor galore!

Weekly WOW!

Sadie was so focused the other day when she was here at the studio creating.
When her family was ready to pack up I noted with awe, what she had been working so diligently. It was a hand crafted teddy bear made simply of yarn she had cut into bits and fastened together with masking tape, so clever.
Creativity happens when we are the quiet of the moment allowing ideas unfold into realities.

WOW!
I love Shannon’s inspired creation made after seeing an exhibit at the Norton Simon Museum of Art. Her collection of circles in all shapes, sizes and variations of plastic and metal leave me feeling zen.
