Creative energy in the universe is a powerful force

Creative energy in the universe is a powerful force.
A positive force.
A transformational force.

The universe speaks to us each in our own language. If something you see in
a book inspires you and speaks to you , and makes you want to do something
that's inspiration.
Go for it.
It's exciting!
Start when it begins and let it evolve.
Sometimes we start by copying the masters ( I have many times tried to oil
paint like Carrevagio till I found my own hand) or anything that gives us
the urge to make something new, or copy something we admire
and we all experiment till we find our voices in what ever material we
choose.

I can't believe how lucky I am to have a bunch of jewelry parts to make
Byzantine style jeweled panels, and oil paintings with rhinestone chain
outlining the words. Such riches to use .
My favorite is a word play " Oh Wendy Saints Go Marching in".( that's how my
little girl's ear heard that old song ) Thatâs when I noticed I had a "funny" name.
It's a painting of a parade in wendyworld, itâs in the gallery in wenDYLANd.

Between Cyberspace, the glue gun, and all these precious glittering and
golden materials we have so available our generation of creative people can
do unimaginable things
fun. things

amen things

put the Fun back in fundamental

and the amen too.!

We now doing this art are lucky jewels used in such original ways.
Don't be scared jewel artists, fear is a creativity killer !
The worst thing you can do it make something awful, and that's part of the
creative process too.
so don't self edit, let it happen.
I make lots of awful things and take them apart in t he morning.
and you gradually develop your own hand, eye, voice.
I don't think there was ever a time in history when people had so much going
for them in terms of creation, communication and timing.

Listen to that inner voice, I call it the truth bell, you'll hear it, you
get the goose bumps, or the wind starts to suddenly blow, or a bird lands on
your window and sings to you.
What were you thinking just then?

That's how I learn to hear my creative self.
Hope this works for you.
Follow your instinct!
You know.!
love,

Wendy
