Having fun with our creativity
We’re having quite a conversation about play in the Espirational Community on Facebook. Join us!
Commitment to having fun
Arts and Crafts Day
Artists can get caught up in competition and the need for “success” as much as anyone. For me, art has to be fun. If it stops being fun my inspiration dries up. It can be a delicate balance.
When my work stops being fun I like to play a little by making children’s craft projects. The key to this is to just have fun and not get caught up in doing things perfectly. It can also be a great way to relax.
Give it a try. To get you started here are a few projects from Parents Magazine.
Do Not Forget to Play
- “Over the Mountains, Across the Plains, to Grandma’s House We Go” — Copyright 2012 by R.A. Robbins Available in the Espirational Gallery.
Do not forget to play in life
and really enjoy it.”
—Eileen Caddy
I believe that creating art is about play and having fun.
Today’s art is “Over the Mountains, Across the Plains, to Grandma’s House We Go.” This is a playful piece depicting a family’s adventures of driving cross country to visit Grandma in Florida for Christmas — and her response to their being late. It is available for sale in the Espirational Gallery.
Don’t be chicken! Everybody Dance!
