Everyday Inspiration

A creative life is filled with challenges and rewards, puzzles and curiosities. This ongoing series of poems attempts to express the “Aha’s” and “What ifs”, the deep ponderings and casual observations of an inquiring mind trying to make sense of reality. May it serve, for you, as a bit of “Everyday Inspiration” along your own creative path.

Creative projects
Know
Their own time…

They wait
Like a caterpillar
In a cocoon
Until the time
Is right
Then
Sprout wings
And take flight.

    Thank you for this insight… I’m currently “stuck” in the middle of a quilt project… the borders are giving me nightmares! I needed your thoughts today!

    I would love to try this! Do chain craft stores carry these paints? Any brands recommended?

    We recommend Liquitex acrylic inks and paints, which you can purchase at your local art materials store…and in early 2010 at your local quilt store too!

    I am definitely a short-race sprinter, not a long-distance runner. I have plenty of ideas but they must be accomplished pretty quickly for me to outlast them. Always have been, guess I always will be that way.

    Thank you for these notes. I went through a long list, seemingly all by Diane Pedersen and was grateful for them. I'm going to start setting up projects in the evening so that I can go to it first thing in the morning. That might be exciting enough to make me want to get up early.

    I think that it has taken a long time for some people to realize that there is light & shadow, geometric & random, followers & leaders. Just remember that your strengths are your weaknesses and your weaknesses are your strengths.
