I've always loved the quote "You can't use up creativity, the more you use, the more you have" by Maya Angelou (I actually like MANY things she has said!). These words of wisdom are so very true. Have you ever thought about how creative you were as a child? When did you stop using your creative mind? I watch my 11 year old daughter, draw, paint, loom, crochet and I think to myself "This girl is gonna blow me out of the water some day with her creativity and artistic talent!!" I want her to keep learning, keep creating, keep that creative mind flowing! I do all I can to nurture her artistic talents, I encourage her and support her and teach her. I can't wait to see what wonderful works of art she creates. I truly believe, the more you use your creative mind, the better and better you'll become. So, keep creating! Pick up that camera, pencil, pen, marker, paint brush, chalk, crochet hook, sewing needle or whatever it is that you enjoy and don't ever stop.
I’ve found that I come up with more creative ideas after I start my creative work. If I sit and try and think of something creative to do, nothing will come of it. If I just start working, it just happens and the more I do, the more creative ideas I come up with! "The more you use, the more you have". The act of being creative will bring more creativity.
Happy Creating!
