The Creative Personality

by David Lyman

 After you read the article

 let me know which one describes you the most.

I think the one that says,

"Creative people don't mind being lost"

fits me the best.  LOL

It's wonderful to have creative friends isn't it.

This past week I have received 2 creative gifts

from friends.

My friend Lana sent this wonderful notebook to me....

red, black, white fabric/ribbon collage...love it!

The word FRIEND,

and the word timeless

and its definition on front as well.

Vintage button and lace.

The feather is a very nice touch,

since I love feathers.

The heart is poly clay.

 That's fabric on the inside covers...

with words such as authentic,

simple, pure, timeless, and real...

along with the definition for each.

I love it, thanks Lana!

I may put my collection of quotes in it.

From the article, I always see Lana

(who is an amazing fiber artist and poet) in this....

"Creative people see things, where others do not."

You can see her work here...

My friend Karen gave me one of her bottle creations.

This is her best yet!

Karen saw that I have some Day of the Dead art

in my home, so she created a little art doll
for this Dio de los Muertos creation.

 

What is so cool about it is that she made the doll from poly clay

and used wire for the little legs,

and put it inside the bottle!  Too cool!

 Then she adds different things like old jewelry (for some bling of course),

vintage buttons etc.

The bottle is covered with black lace,

(leaving a window to see in of course),

then in the top is animal print sheer fabric

with a vintage cross jewelry pendant

on top of that.

I love it Karen, thank you!

From the article, I see Karen in this....

"Creative people are not content with the obvious."

Karen is so full of creativity that

her whole house is filled with her own unique,

beautiful, repurposed furniture and decor.

She is very special and always makes people smile!

I am so happy both of these creative women are in my life.

Savor the Day!

What is it???? and a surprise!

Yesterday was our local

Trade Days,

and although the crowd was

not as large as in the past,

I had a great time.

My friend Karen had her

wonderful creations there too.

Here we are before the crowd arrives.

I suggested to Karen to do something

to draw attention to our booth.

I told her I was going to bring my blue bottle tree.

She wore her Pink hair!  LOL

Great idea Karen! Too cute!

We had unique, one of a kind, fun items

for the person who has everything.

Karens creations are

"repurposd art made from unloved things found at the

thrift store, garage sales, or

left by the road".

This is one of her decorative bottles she creates.

It not only looks great on the outside,

but inside there is sand, shells,

and a message....

message in a bottle!

Note the little bottle hanging by wire off the side.

That's cool!

Here's a great soap dish,

( it could be used for anything...candy dish etc.),

and on top of the dish is some of Karen's homemade soap,

wrapped up very pretty.

I just recently taught her how to make homemade soap,

and her cinnamon, coffee soap is wonderful

(seen below)

Looks so pretty and smells sooo good!

 Here is another one of my favorite creations she made.

I think it's great that she put vintage buttons

in the margarita glass.

(you can click on each photo to enlarge)

Very fun and very creative.

WHAT IS IT

OK, I guess you are wondering about my post title....

What is it????

These are four of many that were the big attraction at our booth.

Can anyone tell me what they are?

All I know is they are glass.

Now for the surprise...

when I hold them up to the light,

they look like this...

and this...

and this...

They are gorgeous!

Each one different.

If you know what they are,

Karen and I would sure love to know.

Thanks for stopping by!

Savor the Day!
