When I started this blog in 2008, my plan was to do and post about art almost every day.
Five years later, I would say I’m better at doing something creative almost every day, and more often lately it is in my studio, as opposed to creative cooking, business solutions, etc. Though I don’t completely discount those activities, I do find it soothing to make things with my hands and be in the Zen of the making moment.
I did a huge proposal for an art-related thing over the weekend and that was certainly creative, thinking about how to differentiate and offer value in a crowded market. And there are no pictures I can show you from that, though I did spend a little time with a marker and that paper people stick on the walls in business meetings.
Today, it was much simpler: paper flowers. I learned how to make these on Saturday at Anna Corba’s workshop. Today, while on a 90 min conference call for work, I kept myself busy AND engaged on the call making these. I did have to put the phone on MUTE while folding. These papers are crinkly and make an unpleasant noise for other participants.
By 2 today, next week’s business activities had been discussed and planned, and I have a bouquet to show for my efforts.
