the creative process

1) play...

especially outside. The imagination is born within the context of play.
2) imagine...

any variety of concepts for creative projects. Actively & passively absorb inspiration from blogs, hikes, children, friends, even malls. ;)

3) gather supplies that inspire...

a) pine cones & sticks from the great outdoors
b) favorite colors of wool from infinite yarn stash


4) Smell, pet, & gaze at inspiring supplies. Then repeat Steps 1-2 as many times as needed.

5) Commit to an idea & gather the remaining supplies...


6) Create & proudly display final product.
