It Starts with an Idea

I know a few very creative people.  Most of them note their ideas or thoughts in a sketch book, in a notebook, or on scraps of paper.  Every once in a while, one of those ideas begs to be taken a step further, sometimes all the way to completion.


If I'm very fortunate, I get to watch one of their ideas go, step by step and over time, all the way from a vague note or sketch to a finished piece of art.  It may take days, months, or years.  The idea may end up as a painting, finely-crafted furniture, a quilt, or a piece of pottery.

    Creativity is around us. Sometimes the creative idea is the easy piece. The process to finish the product is the work. Many creative people are too critical of the finished product and sometimes redraft, redo and rethink the process and the product. Sometimes it is even harder to let go and have the creation finished as is!! What creative pieces have you witnessed!
