So easy…

Having fun with our Easy Project Wednesday idea, painting mini canvases. Come in and paint your way today.

Love

Love these easy to make​”Love Blocks” made at our Girls Club class today.

Love is a powerful force of positivity for all and with a little yarn painting and some 2×4 bits we’re  spreading the word.

It’s Tuesday!

Happy Day! It’s one of our favorite days of the Week because it’s our special deal day-Two for One Tuesday where 2 creators make their imaginings for price of one. That’s so fun! Our featured Material of the Week this week is “CD Cases”

We’re open from 11am to 6pm.

See you soon.

Community.

Cindy Williams of @girlsclubstrong and I had a lovely morning at Paramount Ranch with @athleta making recycled dog and cat you for The Agoura Hills Animal Shelter at the 5K run event this morning. 

There are sure to be some happy furry friends at the shelter tonight. Thank you Tablet for inviting us to participate!

Exploring…

This ​troop came to CReATE to work on their drawing patch, taking the same image and using two different mediums to draw it. Being Girls Scouts, the girls got right in the groove of using resources wisely by painting on recycled paper and making take home canvases from an Amazon Shipping box. What a fun Saturday afternoon.

Mixed.

Loving this mixed media portrait with Grandma. Love brings out the best in people.

Everything unfolded. First came the styrofoam sheet, then the twigs, the story was set with an od to beloved Grandma, then the painting flowed. It’s marvelous to watch a creators process unfold into the story it wants to tell. This one appears to be a love story or a story of love in its purest form.

CReATing at home.

Imagine.

If you could make apps that got you out and about doing fun things with friends, what would they be? 

This was just a little of the fun we had a Girls Club Strong at CReATE today.

Would you look at that…

Pondering the mesmerizing wonders of finger painting, one of the best modes of artistic expression around.

Thinking back on my favorite things about being a mom, I relished the times when I could put all the daily house tasks aside to just be with my kids. It wasnt easy to get there but It was so worth the state of wonder I would climb into as I got present with my kids. There was a deep sense of joy that came from the state of marveling at whatever they were doing that my kids always seemed to linger in. Bliss.

My kids are older now, in college, but I still get to put the (studio) tasks aside and join the kids at the studio in their states of wonder as they tape, glue or finger paint their way through creativity.
