Creative Leave ?!

I though I needed a creative leave 4 days ago and I have to be honest....I just can NOT do it !!
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,

  1. 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.

  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.

  6. 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.
    There is no escape. :)

  9. 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:)
    Your work is fabulous!

  12. I 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!!

    You are inspiring me to pull out some paper clay...
