~ homage to creatives ~

Creatives are the architects of my world. My friend and family groups are heavily populated with painters, potters, woodworkers, writers, knitters, etc.  What an amazing thing to have a pile of sticks, yarn, or a collection of colorful paints and be able to bring to life a wonderful piece of furniture, blanket, or incredible work of art. 

Most of my creative folks are a tab bit excentric as well., they walk to the beat of their own drum.  Speaking as one of them (lol), our minds are seeing the world through a creative’s lens.  You might simply see a stick; I see an essential piece in my next wall hanging.  One of my dear friends is a painter, and she will call me to talk about her next imagined art design. This can easily turn into a two-hour conversation. 

A creative sees the world as endless possibilities of imagined things to add to their to-do list.  It’s a beautiful world to live in, but there is simply not enough money or time to ever get that to-do list completed. It’s also very easy to get stuck in this world, which is only awesome if one can sell their art.  Regardless, we cannot help but create. It’s one of my favorite problems.

What a fun thing to be able to turn imagination into reality!
