First thoughts

It often seems hard to make that first step when it comes to new things. As any parent or child carer knows, babies first few walking steps seems huge and often they have their hands out ready to catch them if they fall.

For me this blog subject is new, its something huge in my life and I feel now is the time to explore and create. Last year I became very aware that things around me, like in nature, had patterns and shapes and seemed to be finely created.

While on a few days away in the country, with my Husband, last summer, I took a moment to take a walk, alone, along a countryside pathway, reflecting and everything I looked at screamed out at me that it had been 'beautifully crafted'.

I believe that I have been 'fearfully and wonderfully made' Psalm 139:14 and my desire is to develop in the area of creativity and explore this burning desire I feel and experience how you can create beautiful works of art that is an expression of ones self.

Using different textures, paints etc can be a wonderful tool and the outcome and final results is something very personal. I hope to learn about colour and textures and to 'have a go' at making things. Somethings may be what others have made but I hope that through this exploring I will be able to craft something that is uniquely ME.

I also hope to share what other people say about creativity and how it relates to their faith or work. Its an exciting opportunity for me and I hope you will enjoy reading and joining me on this journey.
