Life's Journey's - Finding your inner Artist - Introduction

This blog is for those people, who want to be more creative in life but are not sure how to find an outlet for that creativity. There are so many ways of being creative and so many hobbies where we can exercise our creative muscles, which activities should we choose?  How do you select a creative outlet?

My random list of creative activities - writing and playing music, designing things, art of all types, creative writing, dance, psychic development, cake decorating, candle making. You may have tried some of these things at school, (probably not the psychic development unless you attended Hogwarts) I was lucky enough to have attended a less academic school where I was allowed to be creative and I believe that these creative skills have been valuable throughout my life, giving me the ability to switch off from the mundane and delve into the artistic universe.

This blog will explore some of the ways that you can delve into creativity, it is not about the skills that you develop although it is always nice to be good at something, it is the sheer joy of experimentation and producing something that is uniquely you. It is the lopsided cake, the smudgy art work, the clumsy dancing -who cares? If you enjoy it, keep doing it, feel good and escape from other people's standards and judgements. This is about you, your creativity, your projects, your self expression of what you are truly feeling inside - no imitations!

 

Dream Meaning - Dreaming about Stealing Dishes

This is my dream interpretation blog, where I describe a dream, interpret the elements of the dream and then give a dream meaning. In today's dream the dreamer has returned from a vacation and she finds that two other younger women have moved into her house and have stolen her dishes. She is upset and is preparing to tell the women that they can have the house but not the dishes.

Dream meaning stealing - if you dream that you are stealing from others you are feeling as if you do not have everything that you need to keep you happy and healthy. You may be worried or stressed about something.

Dream meaning about being caught stealing - this is a dream means that you feel that you are getting too much credit for your work, you are earning more praise or money than expected and you feel guilty as the work requires little effort.

Dream meaning stealing food - if you dream that you are stealing food or other life essentials, you are scared that you do not have enough money to get by.

Dream meaning someone stealing from you - in a dream when someone is stealing from you, you feel as if you are being taken for granted or not appreciated for what you do. This can be work related or may be at home. It is a sign that you do not trust those around you to treat you with respect. You may also feel that you are being taken advantage of.

In today's dream the dreamer has her home stolen by two younger girls, this may signify that she is having her home wrecked by one or two younger women. It is possible that the dreamer is going through the change in life and sees the young girls as stealing  her opportunities to create a nice home. She seems to accept that the girls have taken her home but she has drawn a line in the sand about her plates.

Dreaming that someone is stealing your plates may mean that they are taking away your ability to eat in comfort or if the plates were special, they are stealing your memories. These plates symbolize memories in the dream, the girls were able to take the home but not the special plates, the dreamer was going to ask for her plates back but accepted that the home had been taken.

Here is a cool eco friendly plate you can purchase from Amazon.

Fun Art Projects - Abstract Painting

This is my blog about my fun art projects, the focus is on fun not art! It would be nice if some art happened.

Like many people, I gaze at abstract art and think, I could do that! It looks so simple, colors on a page, no-one can say if it's right or wrong because no-one knows what was intended, except the artist. After my recent foray into the local art shops I was inspired to take out my acrylic paints and have a go.

The first thing I realized was that you have to have some idea in your head, I think, I did not seem to be able to randomly start painting. I picked some colors that I like, mixing purple and turquoise, I wanted peacock but ended up with baby peacock as I had run out of black paint.

Subject, I love trees and nature and I felt that abstract art is better when it looks a little bit like something so I founds some twigs and decided to use those in my art. I painted the background and smeared the edges with a sponge. I was just going to  paint the twig and print it onto the canvas but that didn't work out, it was really scratchy so I painted the twig and this kind of spoiled the whole abstract thing, I then used some leaf prints to give the whole thing a measles effect. I think I need to go back to the drawing board, literally. I like my baby peacock colors though.

The sun shone brightly in a purple sky, while the leaves from the oak spilled softly like measles on the turquoise grass...

Fun Art Project - Eco Speakers

This is my blog about my fun art projects, the focus is on fun not art!

When I was strolling around the local stores on Sunday, I saw some eco cell phone speakers made out of bamboo. They looked simple enough, a slice of bamboo cane with a hole in the top and painted. I have so much bamboo in my garden that I thought I would give it a go. I chose the widest piece of bamboo that I could find and cut a slice. The first thing I learned is that bamboo is not hollow at the knots so I had to cut off another section. 

Step two was to cut a hole the size of my cell phone, I did a rough pencil mark and set to making holes in the bamboo and then cutting it with scissors. It took me at least 6 attempts to get the right width and length and the hole looked messy.

Step three- I realized that the cell phone was too heavy and would not stand up in the speaker. I did a quick google and found out that the bamboo needs to be sanded flat to make it stable. Fortunately, I had some sand paper in the garage so I diligently sanded away. I started work in the garage and then sat in the garden which was much more fun.

I sanded until my fingers were burning and the paper was hot, but it made little impression on the bamboo. I would need an electric sander to make this work. I am averse to making purchases for one off projects so I decided to sand the hole I had cut into the speaker and give it a lick of paint.

I used some left over paint from another project to paint the speaker and hung it to dry with a clothes peg. The good news is that the speaker works! The sound from my cell phone is amplified by the speaker. The bad news is that it will not stand up so I have to rest it against something. 

What I learned: to make a proper bamboo speaker, you need a really big fat piece of bamboo that can be sanded with an electric sander to get a flat bottom that will stand the weight of your phone. Small speakers still work.
