Creative Kings & Queens

The Truth About Being Human It was stolen from us… creativity. Some were fortunate to have been raised in creative households, where we were encouraged to be artistically free. The rest of us don’t believe or know we are creative. The truth is that we all are creative, no matter who we are or what […]

Creativity with Music

Picking it Up Again I see sparks fly as musical notes fill the air. The depth and wonder of sound resonate artfully in my heart. My body feels the vibration as the music washes over, through, and inside of me. My mind wants and waits for that perfect note. My mind stretches outside of my […]

Feeling Pretty, or…

Why do we do this? Why do we paint our fingernails? Why do we want them long and pretty? When we paint our nails, we are trying to feel more feminine. We go to salons and pay a lot of money to make our nails amazing. Women and men get their nails done to feel […]

Creativity at Church

Prophetic Art I like to do prophetic art during our worship time at church — sometimes dodging flags and dancers. First I pray, asking Holy Spirit what He wants me to draw and I get into my Bible and read. I always begin to see part of an image, colors and shapes but I don’t […]

I Can’t Help It

I Have to Sculpt People It’s been a while, but I had fun making this guy. I’ll do some finishing touches and wait several months before firing him. Let’s pray he doesn’t bust open in the kiln. I’m still learning…. What should I call him? “Life motivation comes from the deep longings of the heart, […]

If You Don’t Mind

I’ll Share My Creativity Something has been bothering me lately. How can I host and maintain four blogs with podcasts on three of them, and videocasts on one? I’m an artist and author and have a lot happening in my life regarding my health. I have been diagnosed with five rare diseases or disorders, yep […]

Creative Tables

Problem-Solving the Thanksgiving Table I get to see my children tomorrow and I’m so excited. I’ve been playing around with the China given to me by a couple of great friends who were downsizing. That and I’ve had to get creative with what I already have. It all comes down to problem-solving. This part of […]

Free/Gratis

It called to me as it rested in the shade somewhat near the trunk of a beautiful Jacaranda tree. I caught sight of it from the corner of my eye as I drove by on the winding road. There was a sign on it and I had to know what it said. I turned around […]

Trying new Media

What’s the worst thing that can happen? I love to try new mediums of art. It’s a blast to discover new ways of making something beautiful, while having fun doing it. Let me just emphasize the fun part! It’s about having fun, not what the results will be. When something turns out nice, all the […]

Creative Rebellion

“All will be well. What do you hope for? In fearful day, in raging night, with strong hearts full, our souls ignite, when all seems lost, in the war of light, look to the stars, for hope burns bright!” —Blue Lantern (DC Comics) I am an over-educated, arrogant, self-righteous Creative, who struggles with a few […]
