@Shaz51 um I'm mostly a mum. Just relearning stuff i like now. Art, gardening, candy making, bread making, cooking, painting, dancing, singing

[periwinklepixie]

@nony I love that you brought up gardening, cooking and baking! I totally think this is a great way to get creative. 🙂 

So cool to hear everyone's different ways of getting creative. 😄

Ooh jigsaw puzzles are great @Shaz51 , and I love colouring in as well @Fluttershy1 !

Art to me also includes dancing and doing my makeup. I love moving to music, and trying new techniques and experimenting with colours on my face. It excites me and makes me feel good/cool haha

Because if I dont do something that fills me up, helps me feel like me, i lose myself to others. And that is a long dark road I dont want to retread. I sing, dance, paint, garden, cook, it helps me feel calm. It gives me spaces of being present

@cloudcore totally love wearable art!😊

For me, creativity is anything that takes me away from the rigidity of my surroundings.

@nony I totally get that and as a mum you can't pour from an empty cup🙏
