This day really began the eve before. My partner and I took ourselves on a river picnic to get the creative juices flowing. We were blessed by a visit from a little friend along the way.
This morning I woke up with a good idea. There is a pile of sketches in the corner of my studio that seems to multiply day by day. I can't find a place for them and yet can't bring my self to throw them away. I decided it was time for transformative action!
Anyone who knows me also knows that I like to drink a lot of tea. It keeps the creative juices flowing. A pot of tea, like creativity, is best shared with another and so I invited a dear friend to join me in making. Several pots later, we had made many paper beads out of the sketches. These beads are fun and very relaxing to make by tearing the paper in strips, wrapping them round the end of a paint brush or knitting needle and sealing it with glue.
I added words on some of them to tell a story. Now I can wear my drawings and carry with me the intentions, conversations and fun experiences I had in making them.
