Inspiring Spirals
Yesterday a friend told me that I inspire her to create something every time I share something I have made. A powerful compliment! It started me pondering again about something I have been observing recently regarding creativity...
There are times when creativity needs to be nurtured in the dark, alone, shielded from outside influences. There are also times when it needs to be nurtured in the light, put out there and shared - not just because creativity is something to be celebrated but because the process is circular, or like walking a labyrinth.
I sit in my cave and create something and then I take it out and post it, and someone else reads it or looks at the picture and feels inspired to go and create something. It's such a magical thing - and the internet is such an open door for making these connections...
Today I wandered over to one of my favourite places on the web to see what is happening with Tammy Vitale and I am in awe of her piece, Drawing Down The Moon - please take a look because it is just awesome! It's like she carved a piece of my soul!
And the spiral turns because I am, in turn, inspired by another woman to go and create something new...

oh, you are such a sweetie! I am so glad you like the piece. Even Husband, who tends to photo realism, likes this piece. Have had it out to sell several times and it hasn’t gone anywhere so I still have it. Did you check out the link to Lascaux? Amazing website. Amazing to think those drawings have been around for thousands of years and to wonder about the people who made them. I get lost in my head over that.
