It only lasted two days, I was getting depressed. For me creating is like breathing, without it I can be very sad.
I Love my kids and my husband, I am blessed to have them in my life. They make me the happiest person in the planet, but creating is the other part in my life that I can not go without it. When I started taking silversmithing classes in 2006 I discover something magical. Little by little I started to form my wings by creating and since that day I have not stop. It does not matter what material I used or if it is jewelry or not, I HAVE to create. Creating makes me a happier person, a better mom and wife.
I just finished this angel with creative paperclay and I feel she represents how I feel when I am creating.

The bright colors transmit happiness and good energy and of course a good pair of wings to feel the freedom that I feel when I make my work.

Do you think I am crazy?? How do you feel if you are not creating?
Love,
Lorena
I feel crazy-sauce if I don't create something every day, even if it's trouble ;-}. Great post and I LOVE the angel and the organic ring, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHola Delia !!
ReplyDeletelol
I also create a lot of trouble :o).
Thank You for visiting my blog !! <3
I am the same way, Lorena. Even when we go on a real vacation, I need to bring something to make and a sketchbook for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteHola Lorena,
ReplyDeleteI've been a follower for a while and just wanted to finally say "hi". Your work is beautiful and so very unique - the fact that you make such great pieces as rings. Cool. Felicidades. I shall try paperclay soon.

Mary Lu: I am happy to find out I am not alone on this !! ;o) I also carry my sketchbook everywhere, you never know when inspiration will came out!!
ReplyDeleteJenny: Gracias !! I am very happy to meet you and more happy that you finally say "Hi". Love to see your comments and you must play with paperclay ! I am sure you will love it !! Show pictures !!!
You take leave from a job. Not from creativity. There is just no way to do that. Creating keeps us sane. If I am not creating, then I am thinking about creating. It keeps me awake at night.
ReplyDeleteThere is no escape. :)
Roberta: You are totally right !!! ;o)
ReplyDeleteLets keep creating !! <3
oh, i get very very depressed when i'm not creating...it's not pretty.
ReplyDeletei love both rings very much - but the vibrant colors of the angel ring really speak to me!
I've been creating my entire life! At times it can be a double edged sword...if I'm to busy to create I can get pretty testy, but it also causes me to neglect my housework at times...dishes, dusting, and laundry...lol! Luckily my family understands:)
ReplyDeleteYour work is fabulous!
Thank You Amber !!!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteShelby: I am with you about the house !! My kids and husband are incredible and never said anything.
Thanks !!
You're not crazy at all! Your angel is a beautiful representation of your feelings!
ReplyDeleteThank You Amy !! <3
ReplyDeleteI completely understand! There is an ebb and flow to creativity, but I don't think one can ever just shut it off. I love to create a lot of different things and when I'm creating I almost always think happy things! : ) But I would be most lost without my camera!!
ReplyDeleteYou are inspiring me to pull out some paper clay...
