Thanks, Sharon! To be honest, I have been second guessing my blog post themes so many times. I see trends and gadgets and various mediums and try many, but in the end I always love the simple ingredients the most. I have also noticed that in the commercial world we live in, many people feel that they have to have this or that before they can start creating. But creativity is often fueled by scarcity, not vice versa!

Patricia, thank you for the great story! So well said! Your art book with hand cut roses must be a real treasure.

Jean, thanks! My husband thinks the same: how can I find the time! I watch very little tv and spend most of the free time thinking about new ideas! I also have a weekly routine for creating art.

Thanks, Lynda! I agree with the slow down, I have noticed that I become happier when cutting paper. Spending time with my own thoughts is very therapeutic.

Thank you, Rosie! I feel very happy I have been able to inspire and give something back from all the good that spending time with art has given to me! Many wonderful creative moments to you!

This post really has special meaning for me. I have long believed in creating without having the latest gadget. Not that they are not great but I feel one can be oh so creative by just doing it yourself without all the bells and whistles so to speak.

I had painted roses and also hand made roses made from various papers, etc. One person asked me why I didn’t use a cutting machine. Before I could form a reply that would not offend the person who loved her cutting machine, another friend said: Because she doesn’t want everything to be exactly the same!” And that was the right answer. I don’t like everything all neat and perfect and in a row. I love wild art with abandon! I love everything different and real. If I wanted exact and same, I would ….well, get and use a cutting machine!!
