Last month I had the privilege of participating the
Traveling Lens Project. I thought it would be just the thing I needed as the
daylight hours were beginning to wane, the view was starting to dwindle, and
the opportunities for creative expression started spiraling towards their
seasonal slumber. Well at least I think it's that way for me anyway.
Coincidentally, Lensbaby's tag, seeing in a new way, made me think about
how when the seasons change I also need to make changes in order to remain
sane. Can I get an “Amen”?
I recently read a post that mentioned four principles that will lead to
breakthrough creativity. Goodness I’ll be happy to just “breakthrough” winter,
;) The four principles were:
1. Relax
2.
Expose yourself to new ideas and new perspectives
3.
Get ideas crashing into each other
4.
Work Hard
It seems like winter is the
time to experiment and/or change up the crafts for me. How about you? Do you
find yourself diving into a new craft or revisiting one you haven’t touched in
a long time? What new ideas or perspectives have you got in the works through
these winter months (or spring depending on where you are located)? Are you
planning on trying something different or maybe just crashing a couple of ideas
and seeing what comes of it?
Since having played with the
mobile Lensbaby for a week, I’ve been thinking about getting out my dslr
Lensbaby. I will be doing that soon and from what I gathered from that post
there’s no need for me to organize my brain since apparently that adds to my
creativity ;) Thank goodness! Wish I could say the same for my bedroom closet!!
Meanwhile, sharing some “cutting room floor” shots I don’t think I shared on Instagram or with the Traveling Lens Project .
