Today I took the time to create for creating sake. You may be thinking what? Isn’t that what you do for a living? Aren’t you are Stampin’ UP! demonstrator?
And yes I do and I am which is why I don’t always slow down to create for the sole purpose of making something (other than my memory keeping) for the sole purpose of making it.
Many times I am crafting and creating to showcase a product, to teach something, for a class, team event and more. And truthfully there is a lot of joy and fun in that for me which
is one of the many reasons I love what I do.
But today’s project was something I simply need to get out of my system for the sake of creating something that spoke to me. I had seen this saying on a pillow in a gift shop and
it spoke to my very core at a time I needed to see it and embrace it. I also wanted the creative challenge of recreating it with My Digital Studio.
I printed it on canvas (you can see a post I did about textured paper and canvas HERE ) using my Epson Printer.
The frame is one I had on hand, I simply removed the glass and used a staple gun to add a white piece of floral wire to hang the piece from. I chose to do that in place of actually framing the
piece because I like to have inspirational things around me and I anticipate that at some point I will want to add more to the wire or even change this image out. Which thanks to it only being
clipped to wire with our in color clothespins will be easy.
After printing and creating the frame I added a few traditional crafting pieces to create a hybrid digital art piece.
The last thing as I was putting the finishing touches on it I realized that I am exploring new possibilities in technology as I converted a previous TV station in my craft classroom to a designated
photo box. I am still learning about this possibility as it just arrived yesterday but I thought it was a fun way to showcase just one way to Become a Possibilitarian. So many things are possible, big things,
little things, everyday things – we just don’t always view them as such. Maybe because so many times we fear the unknown, the not knowing the results of the possibities, who really knows?
When I think of becoming a possibilitarian I think of living a life of intentionally going for it, trying new things, meeting new people and letting go of the fears associated with embracing the unknown.
