Wednesday's Words: " Never Give UP".....

Just thought I 'd share this quote, which is very deep on so many levels, especially for creative individuals

"Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless"

by Thomas Alva Edison

So many times in life , things just don't seem to go how we planned, and at this point so many of us "GIVE UP" and figure WELL IT'S NO USE". Then we often justify this with ourselves by saying "WELL I TRIED".

As an artist more times than not, projects don't come come out the way they were planned in our minds, and if at each time we figured it was useless, than the world wouldn't be filled with any ounce of creativity...JUST IMAGINE...


Was there a time when a project, craft or other life experience didn't go as you planned??? IF so, how did you cope with it, did the thoughts of giving up ever come to mind? How was your end result?? We'd love to hear your stories...feel free to share..

Wednesday's Words:"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.....

I decided to blog about this famous quote:

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."

by Scott Adams

After reading this , I thought this most definitely highlights the key elements of our inner creativity and its relationship to art-making. I mean really, when you are being creative you are letting ideas and concepts flow, " allowing yourself to make mistakes", because ultimately you won't realize the mistake until you clearly define what you are trying to achieve. But , as an artist rather drawing , crafting ,sewing, etc., there comes a point when you must decide which of those mistakes, are worth keeping......


What are your thoughts on this quote? Do you find that this quote relates to you and your art making, if so, how ? We love to hear your thoughts and comments......
