Dear Wonderful, Creative You:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When was the last time you felt completely engrossed in your creative process? <\/strong>Lately I’ve been incredibly engrossed in my art, making art with simple materials. I’d like to help you imagine the same for yourself. In your mind’s eye, imagine yourself doing the following, and see what it feels like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You carry a small sketchbook and drawing pen with you everywhere<\/strong>, making little notes and sketches as something catches your eye, or an idea strikes. When you open your sketchbook, you see patterns, shapes, and notes for your art pieces. It’s a jumble of scribbles, sketches, notes, and little drawings. It’s not neat and perfect, it’s an inspiring place where ideas are free to co-mingle and marinate. Art making is not just something you do when you sit down at your art table, it’s something you weave into your life. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you sit down to create, you flip through your journal for inspiration, and pull out some paper to play with one of the ideas. You sit for hours, making slow, steady progress, noticing the shapes emerging, the sounds of art making, and your breathing. You finish tired and happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?  

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be your story. Playing with simple art materials has offered me incredible creative license, and I want to show you that it can for you too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making art with simple materials – just paper and a blade, is incredibly satisfying. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limitation is the fuel of my creative fire.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But really, I am working with so much more than paper. Once you cut into a page, you begin dancing with light and shadow. <\/strong>All your focus is on shape, form, rhythm, and the way you let the light in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn’t you like to let some more light into your life? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
